the woods

I said, "do you guys want to take some photos in the woods?" and they said. "of course we do". so we did.

portland wedding was pretty great. portland is pretty great. haylie and ross were pretty great. the images....well I do think they speak for themselves but they seem pretty great to me. I'll let you be the judge. full post next week.

I am so looking forward to this weekend. I hope everyone finds some time to stare at the sky and think deep.

mandy & brian

another great sunshiny southern californian wedding. the ceremony took place at the san diego temple and the reception was in laguna beach at the three arch bay clubhouse extraordinaire.

mandy put me in a trance with her "siren" eyes and I pretty much stared at her all day long. brian was the most adorable groom ever. I'm guessing most guys might not want to be adorable, per say, but he had this smile and this dimple and this madly in love with his wife thing going on AND he was super laid back and nice. sorry dude, adorable it is.

I loved the details at this wedding. peacock feathers, plant take home gifts, blue paper pinwheels that blew in the wind and twinkly strand lights, my favorite. they too had tacos (love this trend), and made to order ice cream cookie sandwiches. forget the chocolate fountain, they did caramel and it was GOOD caramel served with donut holes and a bunch of other eatable dippers. to shuttle guests back and forth to the venue they hired a trolley and I kind of felt like I was in san fransico...or disneyland.

loved meeting the two of you and having our moment on the rocks. I don't regret making the desicion to head back to the party but I do think I could have been perfectly happy bunkering down on that beach for the night. invite us back for smore's! xxoo.
