on film!

or, pixels. bits. whatever.

this was the monkey's birthday: duck, sprouts, cake, absinthe. i'd follow all that with "repeat," but i may not have the energy to roast another animal until the spring.

the "no" dresses.

posted here--for weigh in, if you like, but also as a destination for anyone who may be looking for a dress and wants to see what i have on the market. if you know someone shopping for a wedding dress who would look hot in one of these, please feel free to direct that person here. stats: the fuller one is designed by tamara kristen for marisa bridals, size 8, that rhinestone thing is removeable. the one with buttons is an amy michelson, size 8, called "open heart." each is silk, each is a sample in mint condition, each sells for a ridiculous price in a pink store with tulle all over it but was remarkably affordable on eBay.


that's all the bridespeak i ever want to use in one sitting.

happy birthday, betrothed.

we took pictures from the official birthday dinner last night (roast duck, st. emilion grand cru, chocolate cake with mocha buttercream, absinthe), but they are still on the camera. i did, however, want the world to know that i'm glad you were born.

school starts next week, so before i've forgotten the warm cocoon of home: one of the highlights of our trip, kieran murray. (and some other guy.)

engagement portraits!

we weren't necessarily going to do these, but our kind photographers threw them in to our package deal. we're fans.

Christmas in Seattle

We spent the holidays in the great northwest, saw Lindsay's family and saw our extended non-related family in Seattle. We also got to do a few wedding related things, such as tour the boat, eat some cake, taste some sparkling wine (those of you reading in Seattle need – NEED – to go to Cremont in Madrona), and had some engagement photos taken. I left last week, and Lindsay comes back tomorrow. I can't wait, frankly. The apartment is small, but it still gets a bit lonely without the best girl.
