Today is 9 months since I quit smoking!!
I did gain 20 pounds but who cares, right?
Here is a random photo of Maria and me from Krista and Andreas wedding taken by one of the guests. Maria is one year smoke-free herself! Congrats sister!!! We did it!!!!
Three of my photos were honored in the WPJA contest and that placed me on top of the New York listing.
There were 2 images from Liza+Stepan’s Wedding:
..And one from Stacy+Hiten’s ceremony:
Lisa and Stephan’s wedding was published in the November issue of Tatler Magazine.
Olga Kurylenko, James Bond’s most recent beauty, is featured on the cover:
Since I don’t have the original PDFs, the images had to be taken with a camera. Please forgive the quality.
Liza and Stepan look FABULOUS on a photo from the same magazine.
