Wedding my backyard…

2010-08-29T12:03:00.001-07:00

When our neighbors asked my parents if they could use our backyard to host a wedding, I knew this was going to be a big party. It seems I underestimated big.

They started setting up earlier this week and the transformation has been quite a scene to witness. I love the color palette that they chose. Bright reds and golden yellow made the setting that much more setting. I’ve always been curious about how other cultures live and celebrate so to be able to witness this moment in time was a blessing to behold.

So without further ado -

{the to-be wed couple is on the left & our neighbors (the bride’s parents) are on the right}

{doesn’t it look so festive?}

{I can’t get over the decor}

{the happy couple}

{just married!}

{craziness on my block!}

{the guests dancing in front of the car that carried the just married couple}

{leaving :( }

A Weekend in Maryland

Well, even though our photographs are mainly set in the New York Tri-State Area, I am actually not a native New Yorker;) I'm from the DC Area (Maryland, to be exact)! I went home for a weekend last month, and thought that I would take some pictures at my parent's house and neighborhood.

Dorothy Parkerfest Photos!

My friend Jamie and I went to the Dorothy Parker weekend on Governor's Island last weekend! Governor's Island is the perfect place to picnic or ride a bicycle built for two (or 6!). The Dorothy Parker festival is once a year and folks dress up in 1920s apparel and have a grand old time, enjoying the nice weather and good company. So here are the pictures!

We had a lovely half a day from work this Friday. I was esctatic because I have been wanting to take some shots of my work neighborhood for awhile now. I know they are not the best & that I've got lots to learn, but hey - practice makes perfect, right?

So here are some of my favorite shots I took today:

my Balenciaga city + BE Protect Me + dVB sunnies

tender sliced seitan with squash, kale, cucumber, & brown rice. YUMZ.

random flowers from our lobby

Eleni's Bakery (1 of the 6 bakeries)

Fat Witch Bakery (2 of the 6 bakeries & home of the best brownies in NYC)

yummy Thai food

i am completely obsessed with these lights.

colorful peppers

LOVE.

You may be wondering what this blog is about. Or maybe you're scratching your head and saying, "Who is Alisha & Diana?"

Hi, I am Diana.

I'm one half of the photography team. We're still figuring things out, but honestly, isn't the discovery the fun part of any journey?

So to start off this baby off with a bang, here are some photos that I took while hanging out in NYC earlier today.

I love, love, LOVE the cobblestone streets I find in the city.

this completely blew me away. isn't it so cool?!

sign of the times?

I have such and obsession with hanging store signs.
