After a week in Provence we hopped into our tiny Renault and headed north to the Loire Valley. If the region’s bucolic countryside and quaint villages weren’t dreamy enough by themselves, it is absolutely overflowing with châteaus. After much deliberation, we decided to visit Château de Chenonceau – an absolutely exquisite estate which is known as the Ladies Château (thanks to the many women who influenced its design and its destiny) and most notably spanning over the River Cher.

I absolutely love snow, so being in the winter wonderland of Aspen was an absolute dream come true.

Honestly, of all the winter destinations I have visited, Aspen is right up there with my beloved French Alps. Aspen is not only […]

The Luxury Traveler’s Definitive Guide to a Winter Getaway in Aspen

Recently a fellow photographer asked me if I had any recommendations on what to see, eat, and do in Venice.

Sadly the exterior was being renovated so the facade was mostly covered by scaffolding, but the inside was absolutely gorgeous. Campanile: The clock tower right outside of St. Marks offers a stunning view of Venice and the lagoons. It also has an elevator to the top which after 2.5 weeks of walking and walking […]

When we first started planning our European honeymoon, I knew we had to make a stop in Tuscany to visit Borgo Santo Pietro. The 15-room property, set in a 13th-century villa, is home to a gourmet cooking school and a Michelin-starred restaurant, plus a casual trattoria with an outdoor wood-fired pizza oven. One of the most beautiful destination wedding venues I have ever seen, a Borgo Santo Pietro wedding would be truly like none other. We recognized Borgo the second that our eyes came across the beautiful metal gate, which opened dramatically as it led us down a road lined with […]
