I think this was my happiest New Years Eve ever. We always seem to be scrambling last minute for plans, so this year we decided to host a party. Sparkly decorations, tasty food, and 40+ of our friends crammed into our 700 square foot abode - it really doesn't get any better. We toasted Prosecco as the clock struck twelve and then threw on our favourite song of the New Year. It felt like we were in a movie. (When I tried to play the beautiful ballad a second time, people told me the song was 'boring' - a swift reality check, haha!).
lovely. seriously.

Hi Lorena!
DeleteWe use a Canon 5D mkii. We typically use a 50mm f/1.4 lens, but we will occasionally use a 35mm or an 85mm, or a 24-70 lens.
I'll definitely pop by your blog! :)
