amber + billy | puerto adventuras, mexico wedding


This was hands down, the most fun I have ever had at any wedding.

And coincidentally, also the only wedding I've ever seen a bride take a bite out of her own cake... with nothing but her face.  I can't love them enough.  How could you not!  I mean really.

The wedding took place off the Caribbean coastline of Mexico, home to crystalline aquamarine seas, sandy white beaches, balmy weather, salty air and sunsets more beautiful than any I've seen.  I'm so happy I can finally share with you a selection of photos from their day, and I really wish I could show them all.  (Narrowing this one down was no easy task!)  I hope you all can see the immense amount of love shown from both sides of this truly incredible family.  Erick and I were both honored to be a part of such a beautiful ceremony.

Week 27 Update

Hello fellow internet peoples.  Decided to give a HD video update for the beginning of my third trimester.  (WE SO EXCITED!)  It was a ton of fun to make, this time we were at home in Chicago.  Erick had a bunch of lighting equipment after all the interviews he did with the chicago school councils, so before he had to ship them back we took full advantage ;)  I'm learning more about codec and h.264 and prores 422 and although it makes absolutely no sense to me, maybe it will be useful knowledge in the future.  What do I know? It was obviously a very gesture laden, emotional, 10 minute interview.  I hope you all enjoy it.  It really is longer than I expected but instead of completely chopping it up, I decided to leave it how it is.  It's pure, natural, pregnant-y goodness of brain farts, odd humor, and searching for the right words.  If you make it to the end, remind me to give you a gold star or something.  I'll do it. ** A ...

bump : a thank you

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome on our littlest growing member of the De La Rosa family - we are so lucky and blessed, that is for sure!  Lots of time has been spent the past few weeks celebrating with friends and family, though a certain "weight" has been lifted now that it's truly out in the open.  (Ahhhh...)   Erick and I knew right away that this go-around, we were going to try everything we could to have the birth we wanted, so we've switched our prenatal care from a standard OBGYN practitioner to one of the only midwife groups in the state.  Although it is becoming more common, midwives and water births are still extremely difficult to come by.   In Illinois specifically, there are only two birthing centers in a 50 mile radius willing to offer this to us - and one of these didn't take our healthcare plan.  It's crazy how many long nights were spent researching on the web and phoning out to different practices, but I am so happ...
