I received an email from Michael explaining how he was going to be proposing to his girlfriend Alex at the beach.  He wanted me to photograph the whole thing for him…yes please!  I couldn’t help but smile at how romantic this was going to be.  He had spent weeks timing the sunset and making different potions to put on the rope that he was going to light on fire.  It was going to spell out ”Marry Me Alex”…

I was on the pier pretending to be taking photos of anyone but them

Congratulations Michael & Alex!  I wish you many years of happiness!

These were Michael’s friends who set everything up … they ran so fast and hid behind these rocks so they wouldn’t give anything away!  Too funny!!

My husband and I have always loved watching live bands and hanging out at little pubs.   When we moved from NYC, we were worried we wouldn’t have anything close by … well … stumbling distance from our home is the best pub ever!  The Queen’s Cross is only about 4 blocks away and we frequent often…especially if there is a live band.  One of our favourites is Adam Woodall.  Sometimes they play as the Adam Woodall Band and others as Rosco.   They do not disappoint in the fun department.  They are awesome to dance to and guaranteed to put on a great show!

Here are a few shots of them playing at the Queen’s Cross.  If you get a chance to check it out…I highly recommend.  Plus the food at the Cross is amazing as well as all the staff…especially the owner Chris
