Recently, I've been thinking about an older couple who would visit a coffee shop I used to work at. For a while, they would come in fairly regularly, about every other week. The gentleman was especially conspicuous to me because of his demeanor; This guy was always beaming and smiling with an almost a childlike excitement as he ordered. Once he got his drink he would [...]

Your next big revelation might be waiting for you to discover it inside something you think you already know. There's always more to learn!
I first encountered Advincula Sensei when he flew to North Carolina from California to promote my martial arts teacher, Eric Latza, to 6th degree black belt in Isshinryu Karate. I got to see him perform a couple of katas and rem[...]

Heritage Hotel Wedding
Southbury, Connecticut
What a fantastic couple! These two decided to get married at the Heritage Hotel in Southbury, CT.

Lena + Junior : The Delamar Southport
Lena and Junior had an amazing wedding day at the Delamar in Southport. The majority of their guests had made the long journey from Brazil in order to be present and surround them with love and support on their big day!

Becky + Tom: Rustic, Connecticut, Wedding
Becky and Tom had their wedding in a bucolic nook of Connecticut that's been a stomping ground for Becky's family for generations. I imagined it as a space with room to roam… hours spent learning about shooting, boating, fishing and four wheeling. The air was sweet with the smell of a light summer rain and the surrounding woods. Friends and family were scurrying aroun[...]

However, I was once challenged that the the fight for one's own heart is the real fight of their life. The older I get, the more weight that sentiment seems to carry. Perhaps I’m beginning to realize that the better I be[...]
