One of the things we were most excited about with our new site was getting the chance to give a voice to our creative partners. We wanted to start telling the story of these talented creatives because working with them is really a huge reason we pinch ourselves every day. Today we’re starting up The Create Series with our dear photographer friend, Kathryn McCrary

In Kathryn’s owns words below, read about the inspiration for capturing the Atlanta skyline and city views:

I took these pictures to gain more perspectives of this awesome city that I get to call home.  I can sometimes get into my little bubble and routine and forget just how vast and beautiful Atlanta is.  I am more of a homebody and love hanging out in my awesome area of town, West Midtown; however, sometimes you just need to go and see and push yourself out of your comfort zone.  I always learn more about myself and the world around me when I take the time to explore. Photo adventures are my favorite form of exploring, because the photos I take always leave me with something after the adventure is over.  They are like an instant keepsake from an experience and I love that about the art of photography.

A Week on the Amalfi Coast

Photographer Kathryn McCrary Shares Scenes from Her Idyllic Vacation to the Vibrant Towns Along Italy's Prized Coast

A few months ago, our photographer friend Kathryn McCrary and her husband jetted to Italy, after dreaming about the Amalfi Coast for over three years. After receiving an unexpected flight voucher, the two decided to take the trip of their dreams to celebrate six years of marriage. (Swoon!) 

While we followed along on Instagram, Kathryn and her husband toured Rome, hopped on the train to Salerno, and ferried into Positano to spend five dreamlike days enjoying the best bites and sites the charming coastal town had to offer.  Add a day-trip to Capri and sunset-hike along The Path of Gods, and the couple couldn’t have had more of a magical time. 

“We knew we wanted one last taste of summer, and the beaches of Positano were the perfect location to celebrate and relax,” said Kathryn. “My favorite memory, however, was the boat ride back to Positano from our day trip to Capri. We were all drinking wine and the boat driver stopped to let everyone take a swim. The water was chilly, but jumping off the front of the boat into the deep and salty Mediterranean Sea was one of the most freeing feelings of my life.” 

If our wanderlust was strong before, it was even more so after seeing Kathryn’s sweet scenes from her week along The Amalfi Coast! I then of course asked her the question we all were dying to know: what was your favorite thing you ate?!

“All of the food we ate was great (especially the gelato!), but my absolute favorite spot we went to was Franco’s Bar.  It is the new hip bar of the ultra luxurious hotel, Le Sirenuse.  The view at sunset was amazing and the atmosphere was unreal.”    

P.S. We asked Kathryn if she’d change anything about the trip if she did it again. Her answer? Probably extend the trip by a few more days and stay two nights in Capri or possibly Amalfi. xo

A few weeks ago I had the immense pleasure of collaborating with Garden & Gun Magazine to attend their second annual Jubilee Weekend in Charleston, South Carolina.  Being my first time, but definitely not my last, to Charleston I knew I wanted to capture every moment I could so along with the Mr. one of my other partners in crime, my photographer, Kathryn McCrary came along for the ride.

Charleston itself was everything I had dreamed it would be.  Picturesque, full of history, and overflowing with charm, but this isn’t a story about Charleston, that story is coming next week.  Today we’re talking all about the Jubilee…well today and Friday because I couldn’t possibly squeeze everything Jubilee into just one day.  Not when there was so much to see, do and talk about.  

We started our weekend eating the most amazing local food, sipping wine, and stalking Harry Connick Jr. under twinkle lights at the Jubilee Oyster Roast, (tickets go fast for the evening, but I highly, highly, suggest attending the Roast next year).  Day one then began bright and early by noshing on homemade biscuits and candied grapefruit libations at the Editors Breakfast all why shopping the Southern Made Market Place.  I snagged numerous homemade treats, vintage cocktail napkins, the new Leontine Linens; For Every Room book, and a few handmade belts for the Mr.  We walked for miles under the canopy of Charleston’s gorgeous mossy trees, chatted with old friend and new, and rounded out our day with a quick trip to the Hobnob Entertaining Candy Shop before heading back for dinner at Husk.  

So with Jubilee Part I officially one for the books I can’t wait to share Part II with you!  Lastly I’d be amiss if I didn’t specifically send big thanks and love to Garden & Gun Magazine, Ms. Colleen Call, and the Belmond Charleston Place for making our stay nothing short of magical.  Happy Monday Loves!  Truly, MKR
