Luxury Escapes. A moment in The Peninsula Hotel Tokyo
I am inspired by the people I meet during my travels; what they eat; what they do, who they are,and where they call home…

I noticed a group of well dressed people congregating near the entrance – the bellman let me know in a whisper that a wedding party was on the way…
I had just enough time to whip out my camera before the beautiful bride – in a confection of tulle – swept in. So gorgeous was the sight, the entire room stopped to clap; businessmen in meetings and families finishing breakfast…we bonded in the moment. Just as quickly the event passed and I was off into the streets, wondering if it had all been a dream.
