The Return of Wedding Wednesdays

Image
Our wedding photos are finally online! Ben and Colleen from byfield~pitman photography did such amazing work! Between the terrible lighting conditions, everything running late and our guests waging nerf warfare while we were supposed to be getting formal portraits taken, it couldn't have been easy for them. They still managed to capture the event beautifully and Chris and I are both so impressed.

Next time you're in the market for a photo book

Remember how we set up a photo booth for our friend's party ? Well, we ordered a photo book with all the pictures as a gift for Andrea and I'm super happy with the results. The packaging is adorable and they even included a cute gift card so we can give a friend a free book I heard about My Publisher on Young House Love , and with such great reviews I figured it was worth trying out. They did not disappoint!  Setting up the book was super easy and the prices were very reasonable. Best of all, it arrived just a few days later and looks fantastic. Everything is very high quality and the photos turned out great (even though many weren't that good to start with).  Check out the fancy vellum pages and lining! In case you're reading this Andrea, I'm sorry if I ruined the surprise but I figure you probably over heard me at the party, telling everyone they had to get their photo taken because I was making you a book! This wasn't sponso...

Christmas present for myself

The walls of my new office are painfully bare to the point that my coworkers have been complaining about it. I've been struggling to come up with something to put up that is both work appropriate and something I want to stare at all day. When I saw this photo by Scott London I knew the search was over. I've ordered a 20x30 print and I can't wait for it to arrive. Part of the proceeds from the sale of his Burning Man photos goes to charity, so if you're in the market for some pretty pictures, you should check them out .

Yousuf Karsh I am not

My former roommate, Jenny, invited Chris and I to join her at the Science and Technology Museum to check out the Karsh exhibit . The exhibit included a studio where you could take your own portraits. Yousuf Karsh was responsible for some of the most iconic images of the last century. We have a long way to go! I clearly have a lot to learn about lighting. At least the picture Chris took didn't turn out much better!

My little brother is pretty talented

Eric used part of an old tv I had previously failed at turning into an aquarium for his final photography class project. I love how he used a sound effects record album cover for the backdrop. The scratched record that it used to hold is now one of these two .

I'm dreaming of... Little People

 find these images so captivating. Rush Hour from Inner City Snail Sprinkles by Matthew Carden They're not pets, Susan from Little People I'd love to get my hands on some of these minature people. Just think of all the fun places you could leave them... If Matthew Carden and Slinkachu aren't enough for you, check out more amazing photos by Akiko Ida and Pierre Javelle at minimiam . George Wendt's painted faces are also pretty cool.
