European Road Trip Preview

I’m not sure why I thought I would be able to blog regularly while on this trip.  Internet is one of those things that you take for granted when you have it all the time.  It’s been nice though, being unplugged.  So if you’ve been waiting for updates on my trip, I’m sorry for the lack of posts.  But on the other hand, I’m not sorry I’ve been too busy to do them.  So, sorry I’m not sorry, I guess?

I will say that we have been having an amazing time.  We circumnavigated Ireland, we’ve been sailing for a week in France, we’ve visited my husbands grandmother in Portugal, and were spoiled by her, we’ve been cycling and running and doing our best to thoroughly enjoy our holiday.  We are testing our marriage these days by seeing how long we can go without showers and still stand to be around eachother (so far it’s about 3 days).  It turns out, we live quite comfortably in our little van, I wonder if that has something to do with living on boats before.

Anyways, I haven’t forgotten how to use my camera, although my husband has accused me of neglecting my digital one for my polaroid recently. Here is a smattering of photos from a few of the places we’ve visited.

England ::

Wooky Farm in Sommerset

France ::

Ile de Re

St. Emilion- Bourdeaux

Spain ::

Portugal ::

Some of my favorite photos I only have in hard copy form at the moment, my polaroids (seriously, I’m in love with my SX70).  Those will have to wait to be shared until we get home.

London Town Engagement :: Kerry & Jonas

I met Kerry the first night I arrived in China, after a long Chinese dinner and a ride on the back of a motorbike, through the busy streets of Fuyang, with a South African guy I had met just a few hours previously.  (In case you think that’s not the best decision I’ve ever made, I can promise you that it’s not the worst, and actually the South African became a very good friend while Eliot and I were living there.)

She’s been an easy person to keep up with, because every once in a while, we find ourselves in the same corner of the world again.  This time, it was in London, and she had just gotten engaged to Jonas.  She’s American, he’s German and they have such an amazing outlook on this life, and this world.  Eliot and I had an awesome day with them, touring around London, eating at the best Chinese restaurant I’ve been to outside of China, chatting about all their travels, their plans for the future, and commiserating a bit on the bureaucratic hassles that go along with marrying someone from another country.

It felt so good being able to do this shoot.  Once again, I feel so lucky that I have been able to travel and meet these kinds of people. People who are doing incredible things, and meeting other awesome people, and then they introduce you to them.  And it seems to just keep getting better.

Cheers to you guys. XX

Wedding :: Kim and Christian

I really hate that this much time has passed since I photographed this wedding.  It’s been hanging over my head, but unfortunately reliable internet is not a luxury afforded to me during my travels.

When I met Kim, I felt a sort of kindred connection with her.  If only because she was an American girl marrying a British boy, and she was giddy in love.  I can sort of relate to that;-)

Their wedding day was filled with love and a huge portion of emotion.  The father daughter dance was especially a tear jerker.

Cheers to Kim and Christian.

Travel Update :: We are currently in France, visiting my inlaws at their home here.  We’ll be out sailing in the Gulf of Morbihan for the next few days, but I promise I will share some photos soon.
