December Wedding

Drew and I photographed a wedding a few weeks ago of our dear friends Grace and William. Their story is so unique. In a nutshell, Grace was living in Tanzania when she met William, who is from South Africa. Well, they fell madly in love and were making plans to get married in Ohio. William's visa was on major delay, and after months of waiting, the couple decided to get married in Tanzania in August, and throw a separate celebration here in the States once his visa finally came through. We were so honored to be a part of their special stateside celebration! Here is a little peek at the gorgeous couple. More to come on their Africa-inspired wedding. Enjoy!

DIY Lampshade


I have a growing number of DIY projects for my new apartment (which I'm not yet living in, but my handsome fiance, Drew, is... I'll move in come June when we get hitched!). I saw some of these lampshades at Anthropologie a few weeks ago, and, like so many things in that store, I said- hey, I'm going to make that! How many times have I actually gone through and executed said project ideas? Well, not many, if any. But! like I've said before, look at all the time I have on my hands now that I have my fancy Fine Arts degree under my belt! So, you just wait a few days, blogworld, and let's see if I can't wow and amaze you with my crafty abilities (and maybe with the help of this great tutorial).

Look at this amazing installation by Japanese artist Yuken Teruya.



Doesn't it make you want to bust out your exacto knife and make pretty forests out of toilet paper rolls?

Happy New Year!

New Years Resolution: keep up with this blog! Now that I've graduated, I'm telling myself that I should have plenty of time to keep a blog, right? There are so many exciting things coming up in the year 2010- new apartment (so naturally I'm all into interior design right now), new job (well, as of I'm wearing a big, fat UMEMPLOYED sticker across my forehead, but I'm hopeful), new husband!! (not until June, so you KNOW I'm obsessed with all things wedding), new travels (can we say honeymoon?), and a new enthusiasm for all things creative!

Funny enough, my first post of the new year is going to be about Facebook. Have you seen their new office? Hi, Facebook, want to hire me?







I mean, I definitely wouldn't object to working in that environment.
