Just a couple photos I came across when browsing through engagements from last year. They didn’t make it onto the blog the first time around, so I figured better late than never. :)

I’m really excited to share a new Google offering that is going to be SO helpful for all you brides and grooms who want to stay super organized while planning your weddings! Google has recently teamed up with Style Me Pretty and released 20 Google Docs Templates to help you with getting all of your wedding planning lists and spreadsheets into easy-to-organize places.  There are templates for just about everything–working out your budget, organizing guest lists, planning your wedding day timeline,  getting your music list going, etc. There’s even a template where you can create a form to send to guests which will automatically collect all of their addresses in one spreadsheet. On top of that, they’ve also included tips from industry professionals to help you as you go, such as what questions to ask when meeting with certain vendors, what to think about when creating your seating chart, and more. This is such convenient way for you to work on wedding-related planning whether you’re at home or at work (admit it, you know you sneak in wedding planning at the office!) or elsewhere, and because it’s all done through Google you can collaborate or share with bridal party members, your vendors, etc.

While you definitely don’t have to use all of the templates they offer, I am certain you’ll find many of them useful and maybe even learn there were a few things you’d forgotten to think about.

Happy (and organized) Planning!

I had the opportunity to second shoot for Keirnan of KCK Photography for a wedding at Park Street Church back in December. This was probably the shortest wedding I’ve second shot since she and I were only there for the ceremony and pre-reception shots. It all felt like it went by in a flash–short and sweet. I think I was only there for maybe two hours total!

Some images from the day:

And, Part II!

Exactly two years ago tonight I was on a flight to Cambodia, the country where my family is from. While the cities and towns where my parents grew up are markedly different today, it was still amazing to finally see bits and pieces of the country that they had been telling my brother and sister and me about for all these years.  I visited old temples and royal palaces, rode on tuk-tuks (rickshaw taxis) and through the most ridiculous traffic I had ever seen, attended two family members’ weddings, ate sugarcane and lotus seeds from street vendors, saw the rush of city life and the impoverished state of the countryside, explored a city on a river, and met so many family members I never even knew I had.  And experienced so much more.  I had an incredible time.

These last few days I’ve been looking over my photos from the trip and reminiscing, so I thought I’d share some images. I have so many favorites, so this is just Part 1 of a two-part post!
