Jessica and Donald's big day was full of activity.  For most people, all of the activity could have been stressful, but with Jessica and Donald's easy going personalities, they were the picture of calm. They seemed to glide through the day with a smile never leaving their face.  It was so much fun to ease through the day and capture such a beautiful event unfold.  The night ended perfectly with some pretty crazy dance moves on the dance floor! 

It was also fun to see some of the people I grew up with.  Jessica and Donald both grew up in Alief (aka the 'lief) and it was fun to see some familiar faces!  It it crazy how big Houston can be, but also even crazier how small it can be.

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Donald John!

Earlier this month, the wedding celebrations of Jessica and Donald finally arrived. Their weekend was full of love, family, good food and tons of dancing. We started off the festivities at the beautiful Paraiso Maravilla. This is the first of two posts, so stay tuned for more soon!

After our relaxing time in the Sacred Valley and our restorative trek through the mountains to Machu Picchu, we decided to head to a nearby urban environment - Cusco. Chris was hilarious when we got there, saying he was "overstimulated" by all the activity. It was true. Compared to the quiet life of the Sacred Valley, Cusco was buzzing with activity. One of my favorites things I did in Cusco was wake up very early and wander the streets. I would grab a to go coffee and just explore. Here are some of my favorite pics from those times.

Leann also asked me on my last Peru blogpost (thanks for commenting, Leann!) how I take stranger's pictures. It is a combination of just capturing what is happening in the street and actually giving people money for taking their pictures. I always tried to be prepared with the appropriate change and I always ask permission before taking people's pictures. I just raise my camera slightly and give a questioning/permission-seeking look. Normally, they will stop for a pic and every once in awhile, they may look away or walk away quickly. I never take a picture if someone does not want me to, but it doesn't happen often.

I am definitely not a street photography guru, I am still learning every time I travel. I have found some great resources that help and inspire me before leaving on a trip. To read a great post on Street Photography, check this post out by Sarah Rhoads - click here. I also bought Nick Onken's new book - Photo Trekking. Street Photography is truly an art and one of my goals when I travel is to truly capture the feeling of a country and the people. It's much harder than it looks!  All I can do is keep traveling, so I can get better - ha.  :)

Enjoy Cusco...

I also created a slideshow of our entire trip in Peru, including some fun and/or cheesy photos of Chris and I. I forewarn, it's long! If you are interested, click here.
