Santa Cruz cuties

BACKPACKING WEDDING OF THE CENTURY: ✨ Kate + Bryan & their 6 best friends backpacked 22 miles along the coast of Hawaii (20 lbs of tea lights and all, s/o to @thisismygarrett) to get hitched. Can you believe they had just finished climbing 3,000 feet of elevation gain, showered in a waterfall, changed in their backpacking tents, and then got married in the same day?! Cheers to the Rankies! You two do hospitality, adventure, Irish goodbyes, and aqua dumps better than anyone I know.

hawaii, we have arrived! Kalalau trail, we’re coming for you! ✨ and shoot aren’t these two Santa Cruz babes too cute?

losing my mind over this double exposure magic!! 😭😍 mountain lovers + lanterns + in camera double exposure never fails

a three wedding kinda weekend, but holy moly these two are ethereal ✨

a fair amount a perfunctory attempt at avant-garde, a (more substantially) fair amount the elastic nature of time on the streets of Istanbul //

straight MAGIC 🔥✨ hair & makeup: @e2beauty accessory: @handmadebysarakim

and just like that, they wed under a waterfall ✨

fall is back and THESE TWO are UNREAL

a new zealander + an american = an Australian happily ever after ✨

Aya Sofia + Istanbul latte, meet quarantine || growing up, my dad the architect was always sketching building faces on napkins, paper scraps, gum wrappers, blueprint edges, and really anything handy. He used to travel around the world & sit in front of the most magnificent structures, sketching them for hours. Seeing his favorite one last year (and the only one he has yet to make it to) I picked up my graphite pencils and picked up right where he left off. Yesterday, when he pulled out his old fashioned slides & projector & went through old images with starry eyes & marvelous tales, I decided it was finally time to give him my blown print version of the Aya Sofia today.

Bye 23 👋🏻 you’ve seen me through a whole dang Master’s degree in law, love & heartbreak, the patience & often painful slowness of NGO work, reckoning with what family means when yours is nowhere near, and now you’ve seen me into the year twenty-freaking-four with a big girl job and a canoe-full of excitement, imposter syndrome & setting my freaking toaster on fire. Yes, sometimes my life in Jerusalem is magical, but mostly it’s just me setting kitchen appliances on fire & praying that my leftover tuna didn’t go bad in my fridge and also just being forever in awe of my bad ass friends whose very lives are the definition of creative & subversive resistance. I am so appreciative of all the humans that enter my life taking pieces and in return gifting me with new ones... from the ones that are temporary tourists in my life to those that are an intricate & inseparable part. You rock my [boat].

Istanbul 🇹🇷 || One city spanning two continents sounds kinda like the beginning of a metaphor for love that spans oceans (no, but really... Luke moved from a cornfield across the ocean to be near her on the Bosphorus, so I’d say it’s a smashing metaphor). Thanks for sharing your city 🏙 with me, @wendywaldrop & @lukeyurkovich! I think I’m now officially in love with Istanbul & the two of you... I have a Turkish SIM card now, so clearly I’ll be returning to hang out with you ☺️. #destinationweddingphotographer 📸 #istanbulwedding #turkeyweddingphotographer 🇹🇷 #hellomaymagazine #wanderingweddings 💕

Lifta: a Palestinian village on the outskirts of Jerusalem destroyed in the 1940s || Roz & Nathan: a Palestinian and an American engaged on the outskirts of Jerusalem decades later... [also hi Instagram 👋🏼 long time, no see... I’m back & I have so many beautiful int’l weddings to share with you!]

“Between the fires and the floods, we get about 10 good days a year. At least, that’s what Mila Kunis tells us.” -My Bedouin friends quoting a Mila Kunis & Justin Timberlake film in reference to the situation at the Dead Sea... LOL
