Big Sur (in Black and White)

Sometimes we just need a little getaway. Usually for us it happens around the same time fall starts. Summers tend to be a little wild over here. It's a beautiful chaos, but it's full fledged wedding mode until Thanksgiving. Which is great, but can be draining. Sometimes I need a weekend to escape with my boy and remember what it feels like to drive with the windows down and the radio on high. A few weekends ago we escaped on a rare Saturday off to Big Sur. The drive there was brutal but the late night camping above the clouds proved to be worth it.

Sunshine, surfing, and sandy beaches where we were the only two souls in sight. Weekend road trip for the win.

Sandi & Kevin :: A Postlewait's Wedding

It's been a beautiful summer for weddings at Michelle Cross Photography! Last month I had the joy of meeting Sandi and Kevin in Portland for their heartfelt wedding at Postlewait's. Sandi is a high school English teacher and is the type of girl who absolutely loves the details. Fortunately for me, this meant her wedding was beyond fun to photograph. From the flowers to the seating arrangement signs to the gorgeous tables handmade by Kevin (they were incredible!!), no detail was overlooked. It was a joy to photograph these two beautiful people and I wish them all the happiness in the world as they start this exciting new adventure together as husband and wife.

Many thanks to Josselyn Peterson for being my amazing second shooter.
