Lauren & Rory

This Saturday I have the wonderful privilege of shooting the wedding of an old friend.   Rory and I went to high school together – and although we graduated many years ago, I was honored he thought of me when he and Lauren started their wedding plans.   Rory has found something special in Lauren.  When we met up for their engagement session this past fall, it was very apparent what a sweet and fun personality she has. This, of course, makes her a perfect match for Rory.   When I heard what Lauren and Rory’s favorite food was, I will admit I was very excited.   I haven’t tried a whole lot of Thai food, much less made it myself (if ever), so when they had mentioned that Thai was their favorite cuisine, I couldn’t wait to pick something new and different for their recipe.  I must admit that this recipe was delicious!  It has to be in my top 5 – and just typing up this blog post makes me hungry for it all over again.   If you haven’t had a chance to try out one of our recipes…  THIS is the one you definitely need to try.
