i had so much fun with hannah + andy…we ran around the adorable little town of easton, md trying to squeeze in an engagement session the day before their wedding! between last minute planning and the rehearsal dinner we only had an hour, but we made the most of it and took advantage of the oddly warm february weather and got some really fun shots around town…enjoy!
these might be my favorites…
i *love* how silly they got!

one of my main jobs at the sundance festival last week was to cover the GO HOME POGUE MAHON launch party in park city. the film is a goldenhead + dying art productions collaboration, and the party featured hosts livingston webb + michael gerrior of goldenhead, sven kamm of dying art productions, as well as the film’s actors ryan cartwright + adam campbell. the incredibly talented musician jill stevenson performed a live session, and guests were entertained with an up-close falcon + hawk encounter.
trust me, it was a very interesting party…so happy to be a part of it!
hosts sven kamm + livingston webb.
jill stevenson gave a phenomenal performance.
the hawk (above) and falcon arrived around 11pm…
nicole dimauro was the first to embrace the fierce hawk as a friend.
actor jason l brandt gave the hawk a serious stare down.

guests wore thick gloves to protect their hands from the bird’s crazy large talons.
actors adam campbell + ryan cartwright steered clear of the hawk/falcon business…

what’s a party without lots of brazilian girls?

i had a BLAST at the the 2008 sundance film festival in park city, utah last week. from the mountain scenery to the sheer energy of the festival i truly enjoyed my very first sundance experience, which fully surpassed any expectations i had as to what sundance would be like.
let me just say this: within two hours of landing in salt lake city i was in the same room with tom hanks.
shortly after entering the rose wagner performing arts centre – and seeing tom chatting up reporters – i heard from the director of sundance, the governor of utah, and film director sean mcginly, prior to the festival’s salt lake premier of the film – the great buck howard. tom hanks, one of the film’s producers, then introduced the cast + crew – including john malkovich, colin hanks, emily blunt, adam scott, tom arnold and others. it was fantastic.
and then, the movie!the great buck howard was a solid, stellar, quirky comedy. loved it.
afterwards we enjoyed mingling with the cast + crew at a private dessert reception (no cameras allowed, sorry! i was a guest for a change…) a phenomenal experience.
i did of course snag a few images in my non-paparazzi role as guest, not photog, for the evening…
enjoy!
the 2008 sundance tagline.
i observed the paparazzi for a change…(see tom hanks’ back, far left.)
utah governor jon m. huntsman + actor/producer tom hanks.
tom hanks addressed the audience with as much charm and wit as the beloved characters he often plays.
colin hanks + tom hanks played father + son on screen as well.

producer gary goetzman + actor john malkovich.
emily blunt, adam scott, and tom arnold.
the entire cast + crew – BRAVO!
