I really don’t know why Ed Sheeran’s “Castle on the Hill” came to mind when passing the medieval Mauterndorf Castle during my evening stroll today. But somehow it stuck in my brain, so I kept singing it silently….

“I am on the way
Driving on the 90’s on that country lane
Sing for Tiny Dancer
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it’s real

In fact the 11th century castle sits on a hill above the old

This one is a dream come true. As one of the world’s leading wedding & editorial photographers, I admire KT’s work many yearsand first had the chance to meet her for the third time shooting a wedding with her and Chad in 2020. When she mentioned wanting to talk about brand photography my heart literally skipped a beat – having her in front of my camera for brand portraits is just like that right special!

We headed to Tampa for the session, working mainly with his educational offerings in mind. We shoot for maximum versatility so his team can

The ex-wife of the man accused of mowing down a California doctor and then stabbing him to death earlier this week said she was “horrified” about what happened — and clarified that she had never been feared for her life because of him.

Marla Hart told The Post Saturday that the statements her father made to the paper the day before about his daughter living in fear because of the accused killer Vanroy Evan Smith were not true.

“There was never any physical violence, never any domestic violence, when we were together,” she said. “We divorced because we were incompatible.”

The Manor catering hall and restaurant opened for the first time on New Year’s Eve in 1956, and on July 5, the three-generation family-run business will close its doors for good.

“After an immensity of difficult deliberation, it saddens us greatly to announce that this era of The Manor’s operation will be coming to an end,” reads a post on the wedding venue’s website. “The Manor will be closing its doors after July 5, 2023, ceasing all public and private events.”

COVID, inflation and other “unforeseen circumstances” related and unrelated to the pandemic played a part in the closing, said

Here in Melbourne, Australia we are coming out of the number 6 covid lockdown. Vaccination rates are rising and it looks like the economy will be fully reopened. Photography business opportunities will vary and in the short term it is important to fish where the fish are.

Jennifer Lopez has been making a comeback to romantic comedies lately, and one to definitely add to your watch list is the newly released one Shotgun Wedding on Prime Video!

The film takes place at the Mahal Island Resort in the Philippines where Darcy and Tom are getting married at their destination wedding. But the ceremony is halted with the arrival of modern-day pirates taking everyone hostage. Right before the wedding, the couple argued away from their families, and so they were taken by different members of the attackers and managed to escape.

As they go on this crazy adventure,

Just before taking the image above, I felt a series of familiar mental signals telling me: “this has the potential to be a good shot.” The composition has all the elements I love: movement, aim, engagement, color matching (orange), color distribution (blue), objects of interest — no, two or three interesting objects!

I didn’t save the photo with the one
