It was the perfect autumn day to walk through Central Park--love was in the air. While we were in New York City, Fiona and Tim felt a little awkward with the PDA at first (my favorite moment was when Tim said,"Seriously, you want me to kiss her?"), but after a few laughs, we knew they were secretly enjoying it (smile). We were picking up leaves and throwing them into the air (and consequently, became experts at choosing the perfect leaves to do so with). We felt like kids again. Then Fiona and Tim paraded around central park with their colorful balloons (and made a little girl jealous). We felt like kids, again. We finished our 4-hour-long engagement photography session with some good old (gourmet) mac n' cheese. And we felt like kids...again. Well, a little child-like behavior never hurt anybody, and Fiona and Tim looked like they were enjoying every moment of it.

What makes Houston so awesome? AWESOME FOOD. If you haven't had Texas Barbecue before, you have no idea how gigantic beef ribs can be. It was meat overload galore. For Diana and Sam, it was the perfect way to kick start their wedding weekend. And any bride that can eat barbecue the night before her wedding has to be fabulous! They booked the trendy Hotel ZaZa for the ins-and-outs of their big day. (Word has it Beyoncé stays here when she visits the south!) After watching Diana's dad chop up a whole, roasted pig at their Vietnamese Tea Ceremony (with the Asian squat, butcher knife and all), they tied the knot at Rice University to take advantage of their beautiful architecture. We all agreed, it was juicy. Their reception was no less fabulous. They even bought their own photobooth (from Italy) to entertain their guests! And we even hopped into the photobooth to take a few fun shots of ourselves. What a great way to end our final wedding of the year! Thanks guys! You make us want to come back again.

On another note, we came to Houston at the perfect time to welcome Wayne's new baby nephew! We'd never held a baby so little before...less than 24 hours old. Welcome little Will! When you're old enough, you've gotta try some of that good ole Texas Bah-beh-cue.

Hello Boston! Hello...snow in October? We were watching the Patriots slaughter the Titans Sunday afternoon as snow covered their fields and the Tennesseans slipped left and right. Suddenly we realized, oh my gawd, it's snowing right now?! In Boston?! Oh yes, marshmallow-sized flakes were falling from the sky right outside our window as Amy and Angela texted each other in shock/horror/confusion. We could only hope that pushing the photo shoot back one day would help us stay dry and warm. Luckily, the next morning was gorgeous. Sunny, clear, breezy gorgeous--the perfect day for Amy and Jon's engagement shoot!

We started the morning at the Public Garden across from Boston Commons. The morning glow was sweet. And the fact that Amy and Jon kept giggling made it even sweeter. They took us up Beacon Hill to the famous Acorn Street--coolest cobblestone road we'd ever seen! (Wayne exclaimed, "HOT!") We let Jon do a couple of his GQ poses that he'd been practicing (secretly) with his sleeves rolled up. Sweet. We had such a blast with you two! Sweet potato fries rock.
