Jen + Christiaan | Oaks at Salem Outdoor Wedding
- What a wedding! Josh and I first met up with Jennifer in Chicago during one of our winter visits back home. She and Christiaan live North Carolina, but just like us, Jen's family is in Illinois. It was wonderful to be able to meet her and her sweet mom while we were out there. Fast forward to this Spring, when we got t [...]
Our Stay in a Mountaintop Igloo at Balea Lac
What a unique experience! The Hotel of Ice Romania is located at Balea Lac- atop a mountain a little ways outside of Sibiu. Getting up here is an adventure in itself, and staying up here is a whole other thing. For starters, there is no driving to the top. The transfagarasan highway that normally takes you up there is [...]
Wandering the Village and Fresco Covered Chapel of Viscri
- If I had to pick a favorite day in Romania, which would be a really hard thing to do, it would probably be our day in Viscri. Viscri was everything that I had hoped for in Romania. Although its a somewhat well-known tourist destination, Viscri is just a tiny farming village in the middle of nowhere with a fortified [...]
Guide to Beautiful, Medieval Sighisoara, Romania
- When planning our trip to Romania, my friend and I were lucky enough to have the help of one of our best friends (and previous groom!) Dragos. Dragos and his family are from Romania, so he gave us the inside scoop on what is good to see. When he told us that Sighisoara was his favorite city in Transylvania, there were [...]
Sulene + Grayson | Greenville, SC Wedding
- Sulene and Grayson are just the sweetest. Josh first met Grayson at a mountain bike race he was photographing in Raleigh. Sulene loved his action shot on the bike, got it as a gift to Grayson, and then contacted us for their engagement photos. We first met up with the two of them in Lake Lure for their autumn engagemen [...]

Honeymoon Guide: Exploring the Island of Curacao: Underwater
Let me just start out by saying this: if I am going to go on a tropical vacation, the water had better be warm, and there better be good snorkeling. Snorkeling is probably the most relaxing thing in the world. Curacao's turquoise waters have excellent visibility and wonderful reefs, which is why it is a very popular de [...]
Curacao Honeymoon & Wedding Guide: Around the Island
- Curacao is an interesting place. Its dutch, but its south american. Its tropical, but its a desert. Its rich, but its poor. As usual, I loved finding my way into the nitty-gritty parts of town and seeing people live their lives away from the tourist's eye. The colorful little shacks on the mountainsides are adorabl [...]
