Some of my favorite moments on our NYC trip were spent with members of the Atrero family.  Ed and I have been friends since we attended the Anti-Workshop in 2007, and have been further bonded like home skillets through our involvement with the raddest group of photographers in the world, Foundation Workshop.  For Courtney + Alex's wedding, I decided to fly Ed in from San Diego to be my second shooter.  We got to have fun family bonding time with our spouses (Bobby and Karen) and kiddos (Millie, Amelie, and Julian) on our days off, and have tons of memories that are already tempting us all to visit NYC again soon!

I can't wait to get back to the city to have more time to explore NoLIta and Little Italy.  I could have stayed at DeSalvio Playground for hours watching and photographing the old men play dominoes!  When I return, that will be on the top of my list.  The pizza we ate at Lombardi's was yummers, but I would love to check out some of the other neighborhood restaurants next time.  We walked by so many cute dining spots on the way that were very persuasive in distracting us from our pizza mission!

For our dinnertime with the Atreros, we decided to take a picnic to one of our most adored sites in the city, Bryant Park.  It was a gorgeous evening (though steamy), and it was a wonderful time for Millie and Amelie to get to know each other and of course, let me take oodles of pictures of them!  It doesn't get much cuter than these girls, folks!
