Just a sneak peek of Bob's recent trip to Italy with our friends, Gene Higa & Jose Villa.

Life has been so hectic at the Davis home, I wanted Bob to take a break and go somewhere he loves.... Italy! When Gene & Jose announced their Workshop, I knew it would be a great opportunity for him to get away from all the craziness we've been experiencing, hang with the boys, learn from Gene & Jose, and just plain relax. I'm so glad he did. He had a fantastic time getting to know everyone and hanging out doing what he loves! Thank you Gene & Jose (and Ann) for taking such good care of him. He was so missed...!!!

Here's a sneak peek... I'll add more as time permits. Hats off to all the models... wow... s.t.u.n.n.i.n.g!

When Crystal & Ron called us about photographing their wedding at the Westin Maui Resort & Spa in Hawaii, I was excited. But when I met them at their engagement session is when I knew their wedding was going to be fun! They are so in love, a little crazy, and über cool to be around.

This being my first time in Hawaii, I wanted to soak up every minute of my island adventure. Crystal & Ron celebrated their love with a small intimate destination wedding with their family and close friends. The sun was beginning to set just as I arrived at the Westin Maui. Before I unpacked, I wanted to capture the light that was gracing our eyes. I saw Crystal & Ron walking hand in hand along the waters edge. Crystal's soul is filled with warmth and Ron's smile puts everyone at ease, they welcomed me to Hawaii with a lei of flowers. The next three days I felt like I part of their family while capturing the beauty of their wedding celebration. Their 4 children are precious and they united their families together beautifully. I hope they treasure these pictures as much as I will the memories I have from my first trip to Maui.

Thank you Crystal and Ron for allowing me to be part of your day. Thank you to the Westin Maui in Hawaii for all the joy you brought their family this trip. I plan to be back with my family one day soon.

I sit with a cup of coffee in hand, thinking about how excited I am to share our new blog with the world. I want so much to be a star studded writer like many of the other fantastic bloggers out there. It feels like forever since I've blogged and now I'm at a loss for words. Haha... go figure!

Well, I could not be happier to begin this journey with a recent wedding Bob photographed at the Four Seasons Hotel in Chicago. Amazing... to say the least!

I'll never forget our first meeting with Kim at a Starbucks, one of my favorite places on Earth, in Chicago 10 months ago. Was it really 10 months ago? Wow... {{ big sigh }} When we met with Kim and she shared with us her wedding day plans, I could feel her excitement.... I was excited. I asked her how she felt about having her picture taken and she said she was okay with it but her fiancé, Greg, was the one who loved to be in front of the camera. She wasn't kidding! Greg is hilarious.... I mean hilarious! I belly-gut laughed when I was editing their wedding for the slideshow. They are such a fun couple and their is no doubt that they are truly, madly, deeply in love!

And now for the thank you! Kim is a good friend of Allison's, a former bride of ours. Thank you Allison for referring us... it's the best compliment we could ever receive! Thank you Kenny Kim for 2nd shooting this wedding with Bob. You are so talented and I love every photo you took! Thank you Nathan Holritz at Photographer's Edit. You did a fantastic job editing this wedding for us! If you are a photographer reading this, I highly recommend their services... you won't be disappointed. Thank you to Lisa at Lisa Zimbler Events for creating a beautiful wedding that will be remembered a lifetime!

And a HUGE THANK YOU to Kim and Greg for allowing us the fabulous honor to be part of their magical day! Their wedding could not have been more spectacular!!!

With love...

Dawn and Bob
