last week i got to photograph josh and ashley who just got engaged! congratulations to them. we had some really fun locations, including an airport in east nashville. we pretty much laughed the whole day. i had to tell them to stop smiling for just a couple. it was a fun day.

hannah and i are married! there is so much to say about our wedding and the days surrounding it. hannah is much better at explaining how wonderful everything was, so i guess these photos would be a perfect companion to a conversation with her. i will say that it happened just like we wanted it. lots of people we love were there, and we all really enjoyed ourselves. the ceremony was beautiful, the reception was so fun. we have so many people to thank, mainly mr. and mrs. rice. and my guys, for the best man week i could have hoped for. if you made it to the festivities last week, thank you so much. our photographer, austin gros, should have photos up somewhere soon and i will post a link. i don't usually do captions, but i will tell you whats going on in some of these photos ---

60lbs of groceries for the week. i carried it about a mile back from the grocery store. vacationing on a budget.


our coconut adventure. shower rod, kitchen knife, success. click to see bigger.
















one night we made mahi mahi. it was delicious.



we decided last minute to rent a scooter. the grocery store episode was persuasive. it was a great experience. we have started a scooter saving fund.



hannah soaking her foot in a certain sterile substance, after stepping on a sea urchin. ouch!









we treated ourselves the last night to a great dinner.

my friend becka and i did a quick photoshoot the other day before hannah and i drove to chicago. it was really fun! to me they capture becka's unique personality. hannah and i spent a couple days in chicago with my family, and i got to help them set up a salt water aquarium for the house. great learning experience. in fact, i was busy most of the time there with one project or another, and i was completely happy. we brought wilco along and he kept himself busy with my parent's golden retriever, lucy. one of the days we went on a bike ride around their little suburb. it seems the nice weather up there followed us home too.

hannah and i celebrated my birthday with a trip to the georgia aquarium in atlanta. it was so amazing. i've always been drawn to marine life, and i'm obsessed with getting a salt water tank of my own someday. so the fact that this is the largest aquarium in the world and that it has four whale sharks made the visit a no brainer. we were not disappointed. maybe someday we'll have way too much money laying around and we'll go back and pay to scuba dive in the big tank with the whale sharks...
