A Moment With Mom

March 6, 2013

One of my favorite parts of any wedding day is that little moment where the bride and her mother take a second to let it sink in that the day they’ve both been thinking about for years has finally arrived.

Leah + Dan: MillCreek Barns Wedding

February 2, 2013

Dan and I have crossed paths across a full decade of our lives. I first met Dan when we were both counselors at a summer camp when I was seventeen, then again in college at Michigan State. I met Leah when I lived in Chicago, and she introduced me to her boyfriend, who turned out to be Dan. Small world, right? These two are now proud Michiganders like me (though I’m currently traveling for eight months, but that’s a story for another day).

I’m so excited to finally share photos from Leah and Dan’s wedding day. I loved running into old summer camp friends and friends from Chicago—the whole day was one big beautiful ball of love and happiness.

Taking a Break: Vegan Raw Cheesecake

December 27, 2012

I haven’t posted about my personal life to this blog in ages, but I absolutely had to share this recipe. I spend most holidays enjoying mounds of chocolate, pie and other desserts, but earlier this month, I gave up dairy, refined sugar and caffeine (yes, my morning coffee!) in an attempt to rebalance my diet and life.

I was craving a little something sweet as I watched family and friends enjoy my typical favorites, and this vegan raw cheesecake recipe was the perfect find (thank you, Pinterest). It’s made with dates, cashews, walnuts, agave nectar, extra virgin coconut oil (a new favorite), vanilla and other natural goodies. If you’re looking to try something a little different in the new year, you absolutely must give it a try. The whole process is fairly simple, since there’s no actual cooking. Jeff and I have been ooohing and ahhhing over it ever since we tried the first bite.
