Leonid Meteor Shower 2009

Leonid Meteor Shower Photos

Night photography and the Leonids!  It’s been almost eight years since I actually watched a meteor shower.  So when I found out the Leonids were going to rain fire late last night, I grabbed the beanie & the thermal mug and ran out with the camera in hand.  Haha, it’s been a while since I’ve stayed up into the early hours of the night aimlessly but it was a lot of fun.  Never shot the stars or a meteor shower before…maybe I’ll have to make a habit of this.  I have a ton of wedding photos to post, but thought I’d share this with you in the meantime.

Hah, my photo reminds me of the mac desktop image.

Bernice: beautiful! I remember the last time I saw the showers, I think you were with us too, in HK on the rooftop of the Shaw buildings!

cammie: Love it ~!

Hi everyone! Admittedly, the blog has been a little slow on the updates, but for good reason. I’ve been working on some really cool new things for the site that I’ll hopefully be able to launch soon and additionally I just got back from traveling to Japan. It’s been a while since I last went traveling so I was quite excited about going to Japan. Tokyo is an amazing city, I love it there! The people are too nice, the food is crazy and the city is alive with energy. Just about everywhere you turn you see things that makes you want to say “wow, that’s soo cool” or “that’s too cute!”  Their culture is filled with tons of interesting stuff.  Plus the people there are so cordial. It’s the only city where if you apologize to someone, then they will apologize back to you for you having to apologize to them. It’s too funny.  I’ll be back to posting wedding & engagement photos soon enough, but in the meantime here are some photos from Tokyo.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting with Shana of East West Events. She does some great work and is loads of fun to be around. On top of that, not only does she do weddings but she splits her time working event planning for non-profits and charitable associations as well. Talk about an all-around great human being. So if anyone is looking for a wedding planner that rocks, Shana is your girl!

More information about Shana and East West wedding planning services can be found on their website or blog.

One of my brides is going to be making an appearance with Bob Saget on ABC’s new sitcom “Surviving Suburbia.” Prepare to fall in love with her: she is super hilarious and a great all-around knockout doll. But fellas, don’t get your heart set just yet….she is getting married come November.

So get the Tivo cracking and set it up for ABC at 9:30pm right after “Dancing With the Stars.” I know I’m excited to see her in the show. Watch it and see her from the start. I hear TMZ is already staking her out at the airport ;D But Lyndsey don’t forget: no paparazzi allowed at the wedding!! Congratulations Lyndsey!
