Just Keep Swimming

Just Keep Swimming

All throughout middle school and most of high school, I swam on a swim team. I've participated in countless sports over my thirty years, but this was the one that I both enjoyed and was really good at. I abandoned the pool during my freshman year of college to pursue careers in beer pong and flip cup and I never looked back. Until today.

I signed up for a 21-day free trial at a pool near my house. I know it's going to be embarrassing and painful to get back in the water, but I need to. Wil and I haven't really danced in a LONG time due to our wedding schedule, which means I haven't moved in a long time either. I'm heading over there as soon as I hit the publish button. Wish me luck!

Yesterday, I showed you Nikki and Nick's Catskill Mountains engagement photos and I thought it might be nice to share their wedding photos from Hillside Manor in Kingston, New York with you today. I really loved all the handmade details the couple added to their wedding celebration. Nikki decided to take on the roles of florist, seamstress, wedding coordinator and makeup artist while Nick held it down on the DJ tip (did that sound cool - I hope so). Three cheers for the happy couple!

Nikki and Nick were the second couple to ever book us for wedding photography services. I know the saying goes, "You never forget your first," and that's true, but I don't think I'll forget my second either. For their engagement session, the duo decided to use the Catskill Mountains as their backdrop and I didn't mind one bit.

If I were to get married again (a third time at this point), I'd do it on a farm. This would probably be surprising to my friends and family as I'm not really known for being the outdoorsy type, but it really appeals to me. The wood, the colors, the wildflowers, the cows - I dunno, I just like it. So when Isabelle asked me to join her as a second shooter at Gedney Farm in the Berkshires, I just couldn't say no. Lots of photos in this post because I loved this wedding so. Congrats to the happy couple!
