It takes two

Almost three years ago we watched Kata and Altug tie the knot in Budapest. It was the first time someone had asked me to photograph their wedding but I was stoked. I showed up with my little Nikon coolpics (don't laugh - that little thing took some wicked photos!) and did my best to document their day.

Looking back, what strikes me most is what a leap Kata and Altug were taking. They were from different countries, spoke different languages, they had never lived together or spent long periods of time together - simply put, these two just jumped. And although they jumped without knowing what was below, they did jump with the right dose of determination and flexibility to make it work. After two years away we returned to a married couple made stronger and wiser by time and love. I think these photos from an afternoon in Buda tell that story all on their own.

a note for Zsuzsi

There is something so promising and inspiring about a young person launching out into the world. Watching our Zsuzsi these past weeks has reminded me how exciting and pivotal certain times in our lives really are.

With her final exams just around the corner, Zsuzsi is planning for her new adventure as a young woman of the world. First stop - Germany - where Zsuzsi will work as an Au Pere and improve her German. December has her marked for a month-long visit to Canada and she's been warned she better not show up without her paint brush. Over lunch last week she casually showed us a photo of a William Turner reproduction she had recently painted that had us floored. Is there anything this girl can't do?
This was her first and only.

So as she embarks on her adventure of many 'firsts' we want to send her off with only two pieces of advice:

make your mark,...

...and remember who you are.

Sok szerenchét Zsuzsi!
