Here’s an interesting fact. I added up my destination wedding travels for the past two months and the total number of miles is greater than flying around the world 1.25 times. Approximately 32,000 miles according to my calculations.

We’re back from another fantastic destination wedding in Europe! It’s hard to believe that we were just in Italy two months ago.
All five days in Montpellier, France were jam packed with events (yes, a record five days of coverage!), which included a day at the beach, a trip to the mountains, a special wine tasting and dinner at one of the most acclaimed vineyards in France, a civil ceremony, the rehearsal dinner and finally (phew!) the wedding. Oh wait, we did a little “day after” belated engagement shoot too. On top of all that I’ll be shooting Tiffany and Simon’s stateside reception in Saratoga Springs, New York in January.
Now I just need to find time to edit the 10,000+ photos from the trip….
11pm at the St. Thomas airport in the US Virgin Islands. Someone told me this was the cool way to get into a car… sort of like the Dukes of Hazard only through the trunk. Actually, the locks were jammed and the rental office closed right after we picked up the keys. Good times!
The coolest airport in the world!
We had been lugging around a bottle of wine since our time in Italy but found ourselves one corkscrew short of a party (what’s else is new). However, we did have a little paring knife so I set to work cutting bits of cork away in an effort to dig it out. Genius! I was about half an inch in when a pressure vacuum inside the bottle caused the cork to suck itself inward, causing wine to spray everywhere. The aftermath looked like a scene from a horror movie. The furthest splatter mark was five feet up the wall on the opposite side of the room. That’ll teach me to play MacGyver!
…and yes, my head really is 500 times larger than my body.
Our time in Grindelwald was limited to an afternoon, but we could have easily spent days frolicking in the wildflowers and hiking through the Alps. Of course no trip through the Swiss countryside would be complete without a pack of fuzzy little deer. Maybe they were animatronic and this was all just one big Disneyland ride.
Our two-hour scenic train ride from Lausanne to Interlaken included, of all things, being filmed by a Japanese travel TV show. We played ourselves – the happy couple watching the panoramic scenery go by from the comfort of our seats.
