Journey Through the Lens.

My mini break from blogging was much needed I must say. I’ve had a chance to step back, regroup and reevaluate my source of inspiration and why I blog.

Photographs tell a story, surge with expression and create art. Bonnie Tsang is one of my favorite photographers. I love the way she uses light to capture moments in a charming sort of way. Her photograph of a recent trip to Broder Restaurant in Portland Oregon was brilliant. I can’t explain exactly why I am so enamored with this shot.

I’ve recently purchased my first Nikon Camera. I couldn’t be more excited to really learn how to take proper photographs that have more edge, warmth and thought. Now I know what you are going to say, just because you bought a fancy camera doesn’t mean you are a photographer and you are exactly right. It takes study, practice and experience before anyone becomes a professional at anything. I never thought I would be able to capture photos such as bonnies but I’m willing to get it a go and see what happens.

Welcome to my new journey through the eyes of my lens.

(day before the wedding) dungarvan bound!

Choosing our photographer is one of the biggest decisions we made when making wedding plans.

As you remember, we had a tough time picking our photographer. Our search started with photographers from Ireland but we quickly got discouraged. It suddenly occurred to us to look for more someone local in Boston and try to convince them to travel to Ireland with us for the wedding. I couldn’t be more excited to have one of the best photographers in Boston actually say yes! Lisa Rigby was absolutely phenomenal. She arrived in Ireland on Wednesday and was there to shoot the whole weekend affair. At the end, it was as if she was really part of the family. It made the experience that much more special.

Here are a few photos of us around the town of Dungarvan, a small fishing port located on the southeastern coast of Ireland. Its quaint feel makes it a great place to get to know the locals.

Thank you to our friends Stephen and Steve for joining us in our photos!

I just keep looking at this photo. It makes me so happy and I don’t know why.

P.S I’ve been incredibly obsessed with Peggy’s photos lately.

I love this photo! Doesn’t Michelle Obama look so sassy? Let’s not forget about El Presidente, the leader of fun in the free world.

There is nothing classier then a french blue; it’s soo strong, bold and rich.

P.S. I just found little brown pen. Nichole fuels my Parisian obsession!

Ger (my husband) has been experimenting with different photography techniques.

Using the illusion of space and size, he creates a blown up version of miniature items.

I love it!
