2013: Year In Review

Being in bed recovering from tonsil surgery sure leaves a lot of time to catch up on blogging! Finally was able to pull together my annual year-in-review.

Another crazy packed year!

2013 kicked off with a fabulous New Years in Hong Kong...


Followed by some playtime in Thailand with Teebags...


...where we were later joined by Erik and Euge...


Once home I headed up to Boston...


Where I shot Toni's beautiful wedding.


I popped into RI where I did some headshots for longtime friends and lawyers the Resmini's who now have their faces (and my picture) plastered on billboards all over Rhode Island.


I went to LA where we surprised AnnieAli with a 30th birthday Pajama Party.


I bumped into Paris Jackson while doing a photoshoot at BretRatner's house...


Conlix neared the end of their pregnancy...


In March I embarked on a life-changing trip to South Africa with Charlie and Caroline and friends for their honeymoon/buddymoon.




We saw awesome sites like Table Mountain...



And had THE MOST EPIC MEAL OF MY LIFE.


I also got to hang out with AnneGreene, who happened to be working and living in Cape Town as well.



Once back in the states, I went up to Boston again to photograph Colin's and Meredith's Wedding at the Boston Public Library where I saw a bunch of old friends from high school.


Conlix's baby arrived finally...


I photographed the annual charity auction that I've done for the past three years now which again featured a number of fun local celebs...



I hit up Arizona with Will and Steven to visit Lady Di in her new digs...


Visited Amanda in her epic new West Village digs...


Went to Vegas with the gays...



Also while in Vegas I attended WPPI, where I befriended a number of awesome new wedding industry BFFs, Namely Rebecca and Allan who are already becoming super influential and inspirational in my evolving career.


Back in LA I attend Perez Hilton's 35th bday...


Where I bumped into Adrienne Maloof...


Went back to NYC and celebrated Annie's Bachelorette...


Then I went to LA again where I got to photograph the Joy Luck Club's 20th Anniversary and met my childhood idol, Kieu Chinh, the Asian Meryl Streep.


And of course got to hang with Ming, Waverly, and the rest of the Joy Luck Sisters...


In April, I headed off on a European adventure with Teebags.

We hit Amsterdam...


(Where we bumped into the Biebs.)




And then hit Barcelona... (which I forgot to do a blog entry about and still might.)




In May, Jesse Will and I went down to SanDiego to finally visit Smileyjohn. 



I also went to NOLA to meet Katie & Semmes's Stellababy...




I also hit Atlanta for an evening...


And then went back to LA for Annie and Eric's Epic Wedding...





I did another shoot for Smathers & Branson down in Delaware.


Then went up to Newport to shoot an incredible rehearsal dinner at The Elms Mansion.



For July 4th I went to Buffalo to hang with the Bhandari clan...


I also got to go to RI a bit to see Dan and Emily and their growing fam.


We celebrated Kristen's bachelorette down in Connecticut...


And later I shot my first red carpet event in NYC...


I again went out to California to shoot Peter and Jess's wedding at their brand new "villa" on their vineyard...


Then I returned home to get a septoplasty...


I went to Montreal for a weekend...



Shot Dave & Besa's wedding on Long Island (I'm only mentioning the weddings of EggFury Cast Members, or particularly awesome destinations...listing all the weddings I've been at would take forever and be uninteresting.)...



Then headed up to Vermont the following weekend for Chrispy and Kristen's wedding.






AND THEN (no and then!) I headed to Asia. (I'm just realizing I barely blogged about any of this.)

First Hong Kong to visit my grandma...


And this is out of order but I'm too lazy to rearrange the pics, but then we hit Shanghai (with TEEEEE obvi)




And then I hit Thailand where I shot an awesome wedding at the Grand Hyatt in the biggest ballroom I've ever seen.


And of course cruised around with Lady Tee.



Did I mention that the wedding was insane?


Back in LA, I took behind the scenes pics on the set of the new Virgin America Safety Video...


Then headed to Palm Springs to the most picturesque setting for a wedding venue...



I was joined by my gays, and Lady Di... (I never blogged about any of this did I?)


And then it was off to SF for a shoot...



And then back to LA for Ming Na's 50th Birthday Party...



I spent Thanksgiving in Connecticut...



Where Con also made me the best birthday cake EVER.


Then I went to Vegas to celebrate...



And also to Hawaii...





And LA...again...


We met Todd English on a random night in NYC...


 We celebrated yet another Denison Wedding, this time in Florida...


OMG, 2013 is the year Alec Baldwin started referring headshot clients to me...


I was accepted to SoHo House, which has pretty much changed my life... 



And I attended my first Engage Conference in Arizona...meeting and cementing friendships with new wedding industry BFFs.




And I had photos published in Vogue India...


I went home for Xmas...


Then hit SF one more time...


And then finally ended up in New Orleans, where I rang in the New Year...



Whew...! So I mean, looking back, it SEEMS like I blogged a lot. But really this blog was a huge mess last year and to my five or so loyal readers, I'm sorry. I will do better this year. Because it's going to be a great one!
