winnie and ben were married on august 22 at christ church in downtown houston and the reception was held at the river oaks country club.  i was excited about their reception because QUESO was at their party!  i think that it was the first wedding for the booth and was a big hit.  the reception was beautiful with great music and a wonderful set up by events in bloom.  they always amaze me with their decorations. 

and this blog brings us to the reception and final night of neha and mohit's celebration!  it was a beautiful affair with amazing florals, cake and dancing.  i loved everything about it! 

we took off last week to go to boston, maine, and marthas vineyard.  it was such a relaxing trip that we all needed.  we started off in boston and worked our way over to maine for laura and susie's wedding.  after the wedding we ventured over to martha's vineyard with jesse and whit!  that was a treat to spend a couple days with them.  there is nothing like  long walks on the beach, watching kids play happily, laughter, and enjoying a final days of summer. a blessing!  i am blogging backwards so here are a few from the tale end of our trip (maine and martha's vineyard).

meet katie and her family. we have been the best of friends for 6 years now.  katie is a wonderful mom and is in the business of selling houses and you may have seen her shooting weddings with me on the weekends if you are a bride.  their family is very special to me and i have been blessed to capture both births of her girls and now her sweet family of four.  their family and my photos have also been seen in the texas children's hospital ad campaign.  if you are having a baby at TCH, their face may be familiar! enjoy.

i am really trying to be good about taking a vacation. who knew that i would be hard to relax and not check my i phone every 2.5 seconds.  i don't really think i am that bad, but when you leave town, you feel like you still need to be working.  this week we are exploring boston, maine (where we shoot a wedding) and the vineyard with friends.   i am excited to say that we will spend much needed quality time together.   tomorrow we explore boston, ma and take stella to the aquarium. i know she will love that!  today's activities included shopping on newbury street, playing at the park, a swan boat ride, napping at the hotel, a merry-go-round ride for stella, dinner at a old school italian restaurant and finally ending the evening with a cannoli from mikes pastry.  it was a nice treat!  we are loving our boston tips from anne! 

oh, and we realized tonight that we are city people.  nothing like walking all around downtown boston.
