Hi there. I know I was rather quiet on the blog in May but rest assured, June promises to be crazy full with posts related to many events that unraveled over the past 30 days or so.

I’ll start with a few photos from our friends Andrea & Brendan’s wedding. They are a very special couple to us for a plethora of reasons, one of then being that when Juan quit his job in Charlotte and came to NYC to find work last September, Andrea and Brendan welcomed him with open arms, to stay as long as he needed in their studio apartment – yes, the 3 of them in a small studio apartment in NYC. How amazing is that?

Juan and Andrea are life-long friends. They grew up a few houses from each other back in Quito, Ecuador, attended elementary school together and have formed a strong, lasting friendship.

Last week, Andrea and Brendan had their wedding ceremony, festivities and activities in Quito, where close to 80 of their friends flew in from many parts of the world to partake in the week-long celebrations.

These are photos from a beautiful lunch at Andrea’s “finca” (or farm) where in addition to salsa & merengue dance lessons (to bust a Latin move at the wedding reception, of course!) all guests received these beautiful locally-made hats that came in special boxes you can see below.

Coming soon are some portraits I took of these love birds at around 4:00am at the amazing, fun and crazy wedding reception.
