Hey wedding couples and wedding vendors living in New York, looking for a fun way to connect?  Then check out The Cream on August 14th.  Formerly known as Hitched and created by one of the best event planners on earth – Bash, Please, The Cream is going to be a lot of fun!

P.S.  I was fortunate to be one of the first vendors chosen for their very first event, see some of my photos here.

Dug out a shot from back in 2008 when I just started exploring photography as a profession, gave it new life by processing it with the newly released VSCO Film Pack 02.  What do you think?

*All images were shot with Canon 5D, 50 mm 1.4 lens and processed with VSCO Film Pack 02.

Got a chance to play with the soon-to-release VSCO Film Pack 02 by Visual Supply Company.  According to Visual Supply Company, this pack brings different looks and offer a number of film emulations based on discontinued & expired films.  I tested it with few different examples here and I love the results – from weddings to food to portraits.

“On a normal day I wake up around 6AM, make some coffee and do a bit of
computer work before getting ready for my morning workout – either yoga,
spinning or a hike. Being active centers me and prepares me for a long
work day. If I don’t have an early meeting, I come home after exercising
and make breakfast. Usually it’s a hard boiled egg with avocado toast or a
fried egg with a tortilla and salsa. If I’m in the mood for something
lighter, I’ll make a smoothie – either a Date Shake or a Kale Coconut
smoothie. Right now, our blueberry plants are producing a lot of fruit so
I’ve been picking fresh berries from my garden every morning. On my
favorite days I get to cook breakfast for my husband and we sit outside
reading the paper and enjoying the sunshine.” – Heather

“I totally abide by the cliche that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. When I actually take the time to fully enjoy it, it’s my favorite part of the day. I’ll go for weeks eating the same thing that seems to switch as the seasons do. I just switched from oatmeal to muesli with fresh fruit, honey and greek yogurt. Summers I often turn to fresh smoothies. But a good piece of toast and a fried egg never fails me. Regardless, when I make a point to enjoy a bit of quiet time in the morning, I feel happier, more clear-minded and calm over the course of my day.”
