On their second date, Joslyn & Mike ate pizza and put together an IKEA table that Mike had in a box for months. (They still have the table.) Despite it being their intern year of residency with sleepless nights at the hospital & long hours on their feet, they made time for each other. It's now four years later and they are getting married this weekend! I am really looking forward to what I am sure will be a heartfelt celebration at the Headlands Center for the Arts. (I love that place.) Within minutes of meeting these lovelies for the first time, Joslyn & Mike were laying on their bed with me practically standing on top of them. Instant love. Laid back willingness to jump in is one of my favorite qualities in a person & they were ready to play. Cheers to this weekend!

The wedding issue of PDN is the one I wait for every year. Top Knots: The New School of Wedding Photography competition is always a highlight for me. It's fascinating, inspiring and intimidating. This year, I am thrilled beyond the beyond to share that one of my photos made the cut. It's a full-on sweaty palms and perma-grin kind of thrilled. Thank you to Lauren for being such an inspirational person and muse. Weeeeee!!
