You’ve seen the teasers and their coverage on Brooklyn Bride, now Jess & Chris’ wedding is finally making the blog. Jess found me online over two years ago while researching wedding photographers for her friend Sara (yup, the Sara from Sara & Matt’s awesome Rhode Island hurricane wedding). About six months later I got the call that it was Jess & Chris’ turn. Much happy dancing followed. I love these two.

Remember when I told you that my cousins and I used to deform our bodies with the mirror in my aunt’s house? Well I was there this weekend and was able to introduce the crazy fun to my cousin Greg’s two kids, Ryan & Danielle. As you can see, they picked it up right away.
We’re in New York for the holidays visiting my sweet new nephew Jonny, who entered the world one week ago. It’s incredible to see my sister Jodi as a parent for the first time. Reminds you what is truly important. Family. Friends. Love. Merry Christmas, everyone.
