Searching for yellow

I love getting emails from the editors over at The Knot magazine.  They often send notes asking for images of specific items for their spreads – like blue cakes, brown and pink details, and stylish dresses.  Then I get to rack my brain thinking of what weddings I’ve been to in the last year that might fulfill their need, and search my image archives.  It’s kinda fun.  This time they were looking for yellow flowers, and it didn’t take long for me to remember the beautiful orchids at Caitie and Brian’s wedding last September.  They’ve selected this image to be part of their spread on yellow in the Fall/Winter issue.  Congrats to Caitie and Brian for picking a good color :)

The photos were exquisite and absolutely gorgeous. Everyone sent praises to us saying how lovely they were. We were so very happy with your work and you richly deserve the recognition. The color “yellow” certainly did POP in the photos and was really eye-catching:-) Congratulations!

Thanks Tracy, for such lovely photos. Everyone who saw the photos was just blown away. It is nice to see that you will get the recognition that you deserve!
Congratulations!

St. Louis

Back in October I decided to take some photos of St. Louis before I moved.  I lived in St. Louis for three years, so I wanted to make sure I left with some images of the city.  It recently occurred to me that I never shared those images, so here you go.  A couple of these are being displayed in my house as we speak, invoking good memories every time I look at them.  And yes, the frog is one of them.  It’s even framed.  True story.

I love the STL pics.

Inspiration

I’ve heard them called “wedding porn.”  They’re those websites that provide all sorts of ideas for wedding details for those who are getting married, and anyone else who just likes weddings.  I’ve seen some good photo ideas on them, too, which is why I’ve bookmarked more than one of these sites in the past.  If you’re still planning and need inspiration, check out one of the following links:

This image is one of the Inspiration Boards from The Inspired Bride that I think is pretty :)  I know there are a TON more – so if you’ve got a good one, leave it in the comments field!

Style Me Pretty is fantastic! I pretty much couldn’t go a day during the planning without visiting it. Sooooo many pretty weddings and amazing pics to view.

Uruguay

Once again I fell victim to my own tragic travel flaw – I never take enough photos at the last stop.  Poor Helsinki had this issue, and now Uruguay.  We stopped in several beautiful places in Uruguay – Montevideo, Colonia, Piriapolis.  And yet the only photos I have from Uruguay are these three shots from the top of the hill in Piriapolis.

For shame, Tracy, for shame.

 

The beaches in Uruguay caught me off-guard with how stunning they are.  Piriapolis greeted us with soft white sand, clear blue water, and hardly any other tourists because we arrived one week ahead of busy season.  Despite heavy sunscreen application, I did get sunburned on the beach (if you have ever traveled with me you know how easy this is for me to accomplish.)  But I also got engaged on the beach, so I’m not holding a grudge :)

Sorry I don’t have more to share!  Hopefully I’ll learn for my next trip…
