Hope everyone had a great Valentine week, spending it with people you love. I thought this would be a good time to post a cute couple getting married this year. They are friends of Amy and Ryan, we did their trash the dress last year.
enjoy these engagement photos!
there’s a little bit of a rivalry going on with these two 🙂
congrats you two! have a great wedding 🙂
here’s another travel from ’09 a little closer to home. we decided for our 2nd anniversary that we would do the same thing as our first anniversary, camping in julian. one of the days we decided to do a day trip to the salton sea. we’d been there before, and i’ll post pics of that at some point. this time, we drove around the entire sea and found this gem (with a little tip from our friends at zelophoto).
this guy leonard broke down here in the 80’s, felt that it was meant to be and decided to not only stay but also build on and paint the hillside. he gets donations of paint and bales of hay and this is his creation…enjoy!
we got a pic with leonard, he’s a pretty sweet old guy, i was already on the ‘tour’ when he grabbed my arm and asked me to join the tour…two different times, haha
**2012 update: leonard no longer lives on the mountain, he’s now in a home and others are protecting his work of art: http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/sep/27/hoping-to-save-salvation-mountain/ glad we met him when we had the chance 🙁
it’s surprisingly sturdy!
i love that we caught him checking his mail, does the mail really come all the way out to the middle of nowhere?!
He’s one! enjoy this little cutie’s 1-year shoot 🙂
jump!
blogging some travels by city…here’s one from ’09
this was our favorite favorite city in ireland, quaint and lovely with lots of fun experiences.
we bring an old tripod with us when we travel so we can do pics with the two of us…this one took a few tries :/
one of the neat things about ireland is just finding old ruins wherever we went. it’s so cool to see countries with such a rich history
well well well…
i don’t want to brag, but i do make a lot of friends when i travel..
this town has a population of 500 and there are just as many signs
apparently big foot was irish, who knew?
definitely enjoyed the night life here, the guy on the right was helping encourage young musicians to think outside the box by using other objects to make music. he bought the washboard and thimbles for under 10 bucks.
we chatted with someone at our b&b and they asked if we had gone to this little cottage. we hadn’t so we decided to check it out. they sell pottery that they make and they have the pieces set out all over the yard and garage. when we went inside, we found a note that said that if they weren’t home to just leave money in the tin. what a different world, no one trusts people like that here! it was one of our favorite memories from this trip and i have our little pot sitting on my kitchen window sill. of course we just stole the pot, suckers!!
just kidding, we paid of course 🙂
best.jump.picture.ever
and i’ll tell you a secret, it was the only one we did, these two are rock stars!
courtland and ashleigh had a small ceremony in courtland’s mom’s backyard. we shot their ceremony and some portraits afterward. i’ve known courland since he was born and i was in third grade, his sister and i have been friends since we were three, useless facts for ya!
while on the pier, people kept stopping to thank courtland for serving our country, and courtland left soon after the wedding to go serve in korea, keep up the good work!
a stolen shot 🙂
congrats you two lovebirds!!
