Then we were on the subway yesterday heading down to SoHo and we saw this. Fortunately it was already on our calendar.
We were thrilled to be on hand this evening for the official kick-off of the Chasing Harry Winston tour. In case you didn't know, today, May 27, 2008, marked the official release of Lauren Weisberger's third novel, Chasing Harry Winston. Also to her credit are the wildly successful novels, The Devil Wears Prada and Everyone Worth Knowing.
Lauren and Mike were married in early April on the island of Anguilla in the West Indies, truly paradise on earth.
We were thrilled to be there to photograph their special weekend, and we've been even more thrilled to form such an instant connection. Of course it could be Mike's love for photography (he's an outstanding amateur photographer) or their quick wit and cynical humor, but whatever the case, they're great people and that's what matters most.
On Monday evening we were able to steal them away for a quiet dinner in Little Italy and a chance to relive their wedding weekend and talk about their amazing honeymoon to...everywhere! (The Maldives, Botswana, South Africa, Dubai, etc.)
(This is absolutely not a flattering picture of any of us, but it sure was a great concept...thanks Lauren. ;-) )
Tomorrow Lauren heads out for the rest of her tour. If you're a fan (come on, you know you are...), below are the dates and locations for the Chasing Harry Winston Tour. Go out and meet her, visit, talk about her new book, ask her about her wedding photographers (LOL...just kidding). Seriously though, she's great!
!!!!SPECIAL CONTEST for ALL BLOG READERS!!!!
Of course many of our blog readers may not live close to one of her tour stops. So to sweeten the deal, everyone who leaves a comment on this post will have their name included in a random drawing. The drawing will take place one week from today and the name that is selected will receive an autographed and personalized copy of Chasing Harry Winston. EDITED: Please leave your complete name and location to insure a fair selection process.

Oh man, Tiffany and I will barely miss her in Chicago, we arrive one day later. We absolutely love the Devil Wears Prada and can't wait for the new book :)
What a great idea!
Me, me, me, me! might be one of her biggest closet fans ;)
I bought "Chasing Harry Winston" in the airport today and had it read before I got home. I was opening it at traffic lights on my ride home from the airport to finish the thing! A completely delightful read; really funny, she draws her characters so charmingly.
Hi fellow night-owls :) To make it fair for the selection process and just in case there are twenty Jane (or John) Doe's, please leave your first and last name, location you are in, social security number, favorite color, and mother's maiden name...(just kidding...your complete name and location would be just fine!)

You guys totally got me hooked on The Devile Wears Prada! So now I'm a fan for life. :)

Looks like you guys had a blast in NYC! One of my favorite cities on the planet!!! I really need to get Stick there sometime soon!
My name is Brandy Rammel and I live in Van Wert, OH;-) Unfortunately there are no stops in Fort Wayne, or Van Wert. Admittedly I am not much of a reader but I did purchase TDWP and read it in 2 days - LOVED IT!!! And I was so thrilled when I was not disappointed by the movie. The new book looks great, LOVE that it has a shoe on it like the first, and I cannot wait to read it. I will keep my fingers crossed on winning, although I am never very lucky with these sort of things.
Can't wait to see the wedding post!
bummer that we'll miss her too; chicago is just a bit too far to drive these days! glad everything is going so well for her! hope you had a great time in NYC- sometime, we'd love to go there with you guys!!
lots of hugs,

I'd love to win - and I love it that such an awesome author has awesome photographers!

Darn, you're not including a weekend in one of the cities to go see her? ;) hahaha- I would love to run off to New York for the weekend..... but I'll be much more likely to try to find the time to read a great book! :) I'll have to go pick up a copy!

Wow! That is a great shot of the four of you!!! I just hope that Joy, Lauren, and Mike survived it; it looks like "the superpoke"(the nickname of G$'s hair-do) may have punctured some of them.
I can not believe that their is no stop in Van Wert?!?!?!

What a great idea, guys!
"Garrett, your my hero." (be sure to say it like Cameron says it to Ferris ;)....unless this was Joy's idea.

Ugh!!! This is such a tough decision. I live in Orange County (the OC) and three of her tour stops are near me and I can't decide which one to go to.
So I am just going to stay home and wait for my winning autographed copy to arrive by mail... I think that's the best solution.
Ohhhh....I would love a copy...love her.

What a great wedding to photograph! That must have been a great experience.
Traveling to NYC in July...going to check out the W hotel...might be a perfect fit for our plans.
I heart Lauren Weisberger's books. Can't wait to get a copy of her new one....maybe you'll pick me for a FREE copy. YEA!!! That would be great.

Wish I would have known you were in the city, I would have asked you to come by my huge Indian wedding. It has been too long my friends. A get together is due. Any way you could mail me some Tomato soup? Lots of love to all (:
Oooo how cool is that? Great photos!
