And because all posts are better with a picture, here’s one from Tirza and Brady’s amazing wedding Noy and I shot this weekend.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and are kicking off 2011 with a bang!  I have a ton of wonderful brides and grooms for 2011 and Noy and I are so excited to see what this year has in store for us!  Thank you to all my clients who make my job such a blessing!

In the meantime, here is a quick peak at some of the things coming to the blog:
