Nicole is the Alberto Granado to my Che Guevara.
Or is she Che, and I, Alberto?
The bike I wanted but too small for the both of us…nor could it go more than 40mph
Our helmets from back home. We didn’t trust the Vietnam standard of safety…
She’s pretty thrilled about getting to Hải Vân Pass. Note: This is one of the BEST driving roads in the world.
When we got to the top of the mountain, we found a little known strong hold from the war.
Ha Long Bay. Translation: Descending Dragon Bay
Our little private beach in the middle of Ha Long Bay fully equipped with hot water, only from 8-10PM, clogged toilets that are sucked out in the morning by a septic boat and painfully chilled nights. BUT we had a rock climbing instructor!
AND! Water-tubing!
Christmas tree in Ha Long Bay. Juxtaposition anyone?
This is pretty much what the middle of Vietnam looks like.
The entire country is pretty much covered in rice fields. Hence why they’re the 2nd biggest exporters of rice.
After a hard day’s work.
Quintessential rural Vietnam.
There were cold nights. So cold that Nicole refused to take her gloves off and instead, snapped pictures with her nose.
Lost in the middle of no where.
I can’t do a travel blog without an old wrinkly man. I JUST LOVE THEM!
When we finally made our way into Cambodia for Christmas!
Photobombed.
Angkor Wat just made for a nice backdrop for my real attraction. MONKEYS!
We’re lunch buddies.
Nicole was also taken in by the monkeys.
A group of monks checking out a bombed temple (One of many casualties from the Khmer Rouge regime) in Siem Reap.
Getting her praying on.
Big temple. Little people.
Angkor Wat is ABSOLUTELY amazing! Which is why I really wish they closed it off from the public. We’re only going to ruin it.
These guys should be the only ones touching this temple.
I found an odd-looking monkey by Ta Prohm.
Learning the ways of the monkey.
Cambodia is an AMAZING honeymoon locale. I’d personally prefer it over a Bora Bora or Maui…
THE bridge over the river Kwai.
When Nicole met a rather large kitty cat.
This is how the Thai’s play tug of war…Notice the team work on the cat’s end.
She soon saw something…much larger.
My favorite 4 legged creature in the world! Sorry Chubs…
We took a bath with one.
It’s always flattering when a fellow artist choose you to be their photographer. This is the art world’s equivalent of an educated consumer and it makes one feel like a Cadillac of his craft.
Something about bikes that muses me up.
…and killer heels!
AND SUSPENDERS!
Scott/Mark, love that I’m seeing you guys everywhere!
I prefer the subway over a limo, anyday.
Yum. Texture.
…have I mentioned that I love killer heels?
Christina’s mum is so cute
It’s the little things like kisses to the nose and shoulders that I love
Girl got guns!
I think if you incorporate a bike into a shoot, there’s a high likelihood of being on the blog. JUST SAYING!
Love the male reaction to this.
Hahah! Love!
What’s better than brick? Brick with Graffiti!
A hidden little gem stone in the LES
Yup…that moment when red wine gets spilled on both the bride & groom. =)
It’s a part Filipino wedding, of course they’ll be some karaoke.
It was more like a concert.
….that’s all folks.
As per Lisa:
September 2004 – I had just moved to the city with my best friend, Erica R., from college and she set us to meet on a fall night at the W Hotel in Union Square. It was my first real date. My friends advised me to say I had a birthday party at 10pm, an escape route if necessary. I remember being very nervous, but one drink turned into three and in what felt like just moments it was just shy of 10pm. Alex looked at his watch and smiled – he knew the old “escape route” game, probably used it himself a few times – he looked up at me and smirked “Don’t you have to go? You’ll be late for your party.” I assured him it was not a close friend and she wouldn’t mind if I arrived a little late. Busted.
It was a great first date. But we were so young. I was 21 and Alex, 22. We saw each other one more time the following week. Alex insists he called me after and I never called him back. That was 8 years ago, so who really remembers…
July 2005 – We ran into each other at a club one night. He was much taller and even more handsome than I remember. The connection was instant again. We talked and drank and danced all night. He walked me home, and at the front door of my building on 22nd Street he asked me to have dinner with him that week. He was irresistible. That Thursday was the best date I would have for six years. He was charming and sweet, and I couldn’t bare to tell him I was moving to California in just a few days. It was a perfect night, one that I would always remember. He called me the next day and asked me to join him at the Coldplay concert on Saturday. I had to confess, “I am moving to California tomorrow.” Silence on the other end of the line, and then a polite goodbye and a genuine good luck. It crushed me.
May 2010 – Erica R. gets married. I walked into the rehearsal dinner and there he was…I thought, is it possible that he is even more dreamy than I remember him? He walked right up to me and said hello, shook my date’s hand and smiled. I was mesmerized. There were 300 people there and I could only see him.
March 2011 – I had moved back to New York that winter and was enjoying single life. I’ll admit every once in a while I would take a peek at Alex’s Facebook profile but was too embarrassed to write him. He had pursued me twice in the last 7 years but I was too young and naive to appreciate such a great guy. I knew that if I asked him out this time, I had to be ready for it, and I was petrified that I had missed my chance. On March 10, 2011 we went for drinks at the Crosby Hotel Bar after I Facebook messaged him suggesting we catch up. The second best date of my life. By our third date I knew I would fall in love with him, and by the fourth I knew that love would last forever.

I love me a pair of sexy shoes.
The essentials for a groom.
Also essential is a good fitting suit & a great time piece. Check, Check & Check!
It isn’t an occasion if the guy isn’t waiting.
Wasn’t sure if they were going for a Beauty & the Beast styled arrangement but I like it!
You could tell how hungry we are during cocktail hour by counting how many frames of food we shoot…
These plates went so well with the setting.
While the guests were watching their ceremony in Lake Como, Italy from a month back…
My favorite event of any culture, the hora.
Love it when the parent dances are together.
Considering Sharon (MOB) had a broken foot, she was a dancing machine!
Only thing that’s better than a good looking groom is an affectionate one. =)
It was one of those kinda parties.
Quite the rock.
I live for these moments.
Brecknock get the most blog posts. And for good reason…I am absolutely in love with this place!
That is the beautiful & wonderful Jennifer Ackroyd. She runs this town.
Love it!
Not all images are internet friendly…
Little Sophia was the biggest ham in the world. And I LOVED it!
Love me a befitting sun flare.
They are in L-O-V-E!
A great father is easy to spot. PS – Father’s day is coming up.
A gentleman & a cigar. It feels complete.
Other than the burns I got on my arms, that was a really nice send off.
