Honeymoon | Amsterdam, NL

On the second stop of our honeymoon, we explore the magical canal streets of Amsterdam.

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS

The second stop on our trip was Amsterdam, a city neither of us had been to before. Being the middle of March, it was still chilly and hadn’t yet flooded with tourists (as we were told by every local we spoke to). One of the reasons I love to travel is to spot architecture. God, I love a good building. We were in awe of the gorgeous canals and the variety of facades, not to mention the efficiency with which Amsterdam streets flow. It was a truly unique experience to wander through town at our own pace, uninterrupted by stop lights. With my legs being what they are, I obviously can’t ride a bike. I’m proud to say I was not run over by one, either.

Turns out, I’m a huge fan of Dutch food. I’d gorge myself on bitterballen [pictured below] any day of the week. Deep fried potato? Yes please.

The couple of days we spent in Amsterdam were not nearly enough and I can’t wait to go back.

Alicia and Ian | Wedding Photography

Photography from Alicia and Ian’s beautiful Western Mass wedding.

I've been terrible at keeping up with this thing but, in my defense, it's been a really busy couple of months.

Once upon a time almost two years ago, I was working a nightmarish waitress job. I was miserable but the entire experience was totally worth it because I met this beautiful friend of mine, Alicia. She and Ian are two of the most kind hearted people I've been lucky enough to meet since I moved to the east coast. I'm so honored to have been a part of their wedding (including the most sitcom worthy bachelorette party of all time).

I love you guys!

I was working on that first photo while in the box office at work last night. My boss came in and was bordering on shocked that this was a real wedding. He was convinced that we'd staged it because everything, and I quote, was "too pretty."
