This week is incredibly exciting for the whole family: we got to meet Mike’s new nephew Jonah! He decided to come out and see the world a couple of weeks ahead of his due date, so it was a bit unexpected :) Both the mom and the baby are doing great and they’re at home already. Jonah is tiny and absolutely adorable!!! :)

We didn’t have a chance to photograph him yet, but here’s a picture by his daddy, Alex Peyzner:

On another note, my most favorite little girl in the whole world turned two today! How did it happen so quick? It seems she just was learning to hold her head not that long ago… I’m so happy and at the same time a bit sad that I cannot be with my family to celebrate her birthday. Here are a couple of pictures of Dasha I took while visiting them in Russia about a month ago:

Have a great upcoming weekend everyone!

It’s been an awesome week for us so far! After being featured on Style Me Pretty, the trash the dress session we shot in Mexico is now on www.TrashTheDress.com!

Ellen and Jer’s beautiful wedding took place at the scenic Mountain Terrace in Woodside. This venue is amazing because of the wonderful evergreen trees and raw nature which surrounds it. If you’ve ever driven up Woodside Road/84 and passed by Alice’s restaurant then you’ve also seen the location of the Mountain Terrace – it’s on the same intersection.

This was a truly special wedding for a whole lot of reasons, not the least of which is that it was entirely green, earth friendly, and almost completely vegan. From the groom’s suit and the bio-diesel transportation to the event to the delicious coconut-based vegan ice cream cake – this was a wedding of two people for whom “green” is definitely not a catch-phrase.

We’ve known Jer and Ellen for some time now and it was a great honor to take their wedding photos. In addition to the beautiful outdoor setting provided by The Mountain Terrace we also loved working there because of the soft and sweet light which makes outdoor receptions all the more interesting. Here are some faves:
