Camping on Olympic Peninsula | Washington
- As you’ve probably figured out by now, we made it to Washington State! We had a backcountry skiing engagement session planned with our couple Kim and Kevin just outside of Seattle, so we used this time off as an excuse to take our camper along the West Coast. While in Washington, we chose to camp just outside of Ol [...]
Asheville-Seattle Cross Country Road Trip
Here it is: the grand voyage. The big trip that I had been looking forward to since this summer. Making a cross country road trip in the middle of the winter may not be everyone’s first choice, but as wedding photographers- its the time we have off. Though we had an engagement session in the Cascade mountains [...]
Birthday Camping in Brevard
- I have had a really busy year. But it was nothing like 2014. The past couple of years, we’ve seen fall pass by all too quickly as we sit down at the computer and edit all season. I try to experience fall through pumpkin beers, ciders, and soups, but nothing can replace actually being outside. Getting ou [...]
Camping in the Mojave Desert, Nevada
- "Damn, I could really go for a Wendy's Frosty right about now." So there we were in the middle of the desert. We had made these plans way in advance but it hadn't fully dawned on us that we were going to be there in the middle of the summer. It was July and the daily temperature was 105°. Pure dry spellbindi [...]
Camping in Joshua Tree, California
- "What a place to see the sunset...." When I started the travel section of my blog, I started it a bit backwards. I posted my Mojave Desert experience on here first because it seemed most relevant to my site. After all, that’s where we came up with this whole great idea of living tiny. But the time we spent [...]
Our Stay in a Mountaintop Igloo at Balea Lac
What a unique experience! The Hotel of Ice Romania is located at Balea Lac- atop a mountain a little ways outside of Sibiu. Getting up here is an adventure in itself, and staying up here is a whole other thing. For starters, there is no driving to the top. The transfagarasan highway that normally takes you up there is [...]
Wandering the Village and Fresco Covered Chapel of Viscri
- If I had to pick a favorite day in Romania, which would be a really hard thing to do, it would probably be our day in Viscri. Viscri was everything that I had hoped for in Romania. Although its a somewhat well-known tourist destination, Viscri is just a tiny farming village in the middle of nowhere with a fortified [...]
Guide to Beautiful, Medieval Sighisoara, Romania
- When planning our trip to Romania, my friend and I were lucky enough to have the help of one of our best friends (and previous groom!) Dragos. Dragos and his family are from Romania, so he gave us the inside scoop on what is good to see. When he told us that Sighisoara was his favorite city in Transylvania, there were [...]
Behind the Scenes: Celtic Complexion Vancouver Shoot
- Earlier this year, I was invited to Vancouver to photograph the new makeup line for my friend and previous bride Jennifer from Celtic Complexion. Celtic Complexion is a luxury organic skincare and cosmetics company based out of Raleigh. Their products are wholesome and nourish your skin. As someone who uses Celtic Comp [...]
Honeymoon Guide: Exploring the Island of Curacao: Underwater
Let me just start out by saying this: if I am going to go on a tropical vacation, the water had better be warm, and there better be good snorkeling. Snorkeling is probably the most relaxing thing in the world. Curacao's turquoise waters have excellent visibility and wonderful reefs, which is why it is a very popular de [...]
