If you like honest, real moments, I'm your girl

With the holidays upon us, I wanted to squeeze in a fabulous wedding before the world goes crazy with turkey and Black Friday (I’ll be hiding in bed). Vito and Samantha’s wedding day was elegant, classy, beautiful, and full of happy people. I mean, really, gimme all the Italians everywhere. Those people are happy, love their […]

Great weather + beautiful family + cool style […]
