Nate and Jenna’s wedding is exactly what we look for in wedding submissions. What are the qualifications, you ask? Beautiful imagery that is true to color—or close to it—and a strong sense of chemistry and love between the couple. Below is our digital interview with the two, and their answers are bound to put a smile on your face.

Here are a few inexpensive things to do in Paris :

- Walk around the Jardin de Luxembourg (the largest public park in Paris), buy a crêpe or ice cream from one of the food stands, and choose a bench for some people-watching.

- Explore Montmartre & visit Sacré-Cœur. I didn’t stop at Sacré-Cœur on this particular trip, but it’s a wonderful choice and one of my favorite places! Walking up all those stairs is so worth it for the view you get of the city. Montmartre is the area of Paris where the film Amélie was shot. It is very quaint, full of small shops and restaurants, and wasn’t very crowded on the rainy Sunday afternoon I was there.

New York City : an urban mecca for architecture, fashion, art, and food beckoning to be photographed. You’re not much for tourist traps, so Time’s Square and The Statue of Liberty are out of the question for your first trip to NYC. Not to worry, whether you’re seeking skyline views, or street-style fashion snapshots, these five neighborhoods have an array of photographic opportunities for first-time visitors sans touristy vibes.

Traveling to create just for the sake of creating, and not under pressure, is a dream for most. Traveling to the Amalfi Coast with talented creatives who are friends and part of the shoot? That is a recipe for a stunning result.

Hi there, my name is Bronwyn Spain, and I acquired Cottage Hill Magazine in September. I recently stepped back from six years of building and growing a wedding venue known as Spain Ranch to pursue my dreams in the publishing industry. The name has changed, but the vision remains the same : meaningful stories told through beautiful imagery.

When we relocated to the Canadian Rockies for his residency in the summer of 2017, I am not sure that either of us knew how hard it would be. There were, of course, the general obstacles associated with relocating to a place one thousand miles away from your home and family, but residency training has demanded an entirely new breed of devotion and respect for one another.

I had the pleasure of traveling to Lyon, France a couple of weeks ago and thought you might enjoy the images I captured while I was there. The most spectacular part of the vacation for me was definitely the day trip to the medieval city of Perouges. Perouges was about a 20 minute train ride from the heart of Lyon, and then a 10 minute walk uphill. The city is perched on the top of a hill, over looking the rest of the city.

These images are a collection of photographs taken on my medium format film camera during a recent trip to Italy. I chose to land in Rome and spend a couple of days there before taking a train to Florence where I rented a car and then drove throughout the countryside of Tuscany over the course of several days.

My husband (A.P.) and I recently took over a 119 year old property with 13 acres of formals gardens. Part of the renovation was the greenhouse that was originally built in the 60's. So, in celebration of the finished renovation we hosted a small dinner in our greenhouse.

Hawaii will always hold a special place in my heart. I grew up there as a girl. It was only for a few years, but they were memorable.

What was I doing going on a surf trip? To Fiji of all places. Did I even know how to surf? I’d lived in Hawaii for years, but loving the ocean and going for runs on the beach was a far cry from getting into the waves off the coast of a tiny island in the South Pacific.

I have always loved the idea that something as simple as a cup of tea can bring family and friends together to create a communal experience. Oftentimes, I find myself getting caught up in the everyday businesses of life that I forget to take a pause and be in the moment. For this shoot, I wanted to capture the essence of slowing down and enjoying a relaxing morning over some matcha tea.

Dominique and Jacob are a long distance couple. Their hectic schedules don't allow for much downtime, so they were happy to escape to the country for a weekend, to a cozy cottage in Niagara, surrounded by forest and farm land.

I learned about Portuguese explorers like Vasco De Gama for example, and their colonization of Brazil. But that was the most I knew about historic Portugal and I’d be a ‘dealer in alternative facts’ if I denied knowing about Portuguese history and culture, or that it was on the top of my European travel to do list. But with low season airline fares and being on only a six-hour flight from New York City, I booked my trip, packed my passport and new film bag (a holiday gift from my dad) and traveled across the Atlantic. Now I have a new found love for this small country hugging the rocky coast along the Atlantic Ocean.

The house itself is a ranch style home built in 1935. The large horizontal windows have a Japanese feel that contributes to the peaceful quality of the home. It is important to respect the original architecture of a home or building, but not restore it to a fault so that it doesn’t function in modern times.
