A hike with an old friendApril 19th, 2011

This installment of ‘the rochester wedding photographer’s vacation’ comes to you from sunny New Jersey. One of my oldest and dearest friends, Marc, lives in norther NJ near a lake. It was a pleasure to be able to drink with him, hike with him and beat him at Wii bowling. That was about all there was time for, but it was sunny and warm, so an excellent time.

Wales VacationOctober 5th, 2009

Wales was a fast and emotional trip, but worth it! I have returned and am back at work. This trip was all about visiting with my family and there was plenty of that. I even got the cousins together for a pub crawl one night. I was also able to check 2 more castles off of my list and do a bit of hiking. A highlight was finally seeing heather in bloom on the Welsh mountains!
