Our View . . . 6 months later.

The view from our apartment doesn’t get old, especially when the sky looks like this!

Did anyone catch this scene last week? These spectacular colors were a result of the smoke from the devastating fires 55 miles south of San Francisco in the Santa Cruz Mountains. 

And just minutes before, the yellows and oranges were purples and pinks!

The Best of Friends

Two of our most favorite people in the world are leaving us in San Francisco (Jan is headed to business school at Yale and DJ is moving to NYC to be closer). This is a cover I made using photos and some photoshop magic (the stamp filter) for a little guest book. We threw them a great brunch and day-drinking party in the park . . . recipes and more stories coming soon.

It’s amazing to me how at every chapter of my life I’ve found incredible people that become lifelong friends and Jan and DJ are two of these very special people. We’re going to miss them so much – one day we’ll all be back in sunny California together . . . or so I hope!

Wedding in Rye

 

 Andy and Lacey closed out our Duke couples wedding streak with a wonderful celebration. Even with a few drizzles and not much sun, everything about the evening was beautiful, especially Lacey who was glowing all night.  I think we’ll all go through a bit of withdrawal without another Duke wedding on the books, but we have lots of great memories and photos to keep us going!

I had some fun with the photos using techniques from http://tutorialblog.org/.

Vows, Smiles and Green Umbrellas

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scott and Molly tied the knot in Durham, NC on May 16, 2009.  They’re wedding was wonderful and personal and even sustained a few rain drops! Jeff and I have attended over 10 weddings in the past year and few months (including our own) and I’ve come to appreciate how the bride and groom’s personalities come out in the details and even more so in the unplanned events that happen during the wedding weekend.
