Heather and Chris

We were thrilled to have Heather reached out to us to photograph her wedding. We met from Lovegood Theatre Company during the production of Tuck Everlasting.

Their ceremony took place near the Rose Test Garden, in a private space aptly named “The Secret Garden”.

Journaling a Wimpy Diary

I’m surprised that I still get surprised that I enjoyed a Lovegood production more than I thought I would. My family didn’t have a positive initial impression of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, which I understand.

My brother introduced Into the Woods to me seventeen years ago, but I only made it through act one of this wonderful play. I was not interested in theater in 2008, so sitting through the first half of the 1991 version on YouTube was enough for me. I was amused by the first half but I didn’t realize the second half was the payoff.
