This morning I turned in the last three papers of my graduate education. I officially am a master. Sort of.

So tonight we are going to chill at the beach to soak in the reality that I shall never write another paper again. At least one that is going to be graded.

Seriously… I feel so good right now. I’ll throw up some pics tonight when I get back of our adventure to Golden Gardens.

Cheers!

UPDATE… Here’s a few pics from last nights adventure. We had mochas and corndogs and our neighbor Brian was kind enough to accompany us while his wife was out of town.

I’ve been wanting to blog this lil trip that Whitney and I took down to SF this last spring for quite some time now. Totally forgot about it till I was organizing some of our personal pics the other evening.

We stinkin’ love to travel, so jumping down for a quick visit to see my brother Josh was a no brainer. Enjoy.

One of the amazing elements to SF was the incredible street art that was everywhere. I had to capture some of it.
Had to throw in a tourist pic. Just for Whitney. :)
This photo needs no caption.

One of my favorite images of Whitney. Simply stunning.

My big-little brother.

If you want to hear a funny story that happened on the world’s most curvy road…. ask sometime.

Thats right folks… We thought since we had this new spiffy blog, we might as well put it to good use. So for the next thirty days we will be blogging every day! During the lovely month of August you will find everything from more wedding+engagement pics, to our thoughts on the many nuances of wedding photography, to random tidbits of our lives, and even to random useless information that just might make you giggle.

So you might be wondering to yourself… ‘why the 30 days of blog?’ Well… now that you’ve asked:

1. New blog. Need to show it off.
2. When it comes to people’s wedding day, there isn’t anyone else that you will have by your side for as many real, tender, and personal moments as your photographer. So when it comes to choosing who to have capture those moments, it better be someone you ultimately feel comfortable with. Hopefully this will serve as a space and opportunity for you to better know us.
3. We have so many photos to get on the www it’s insane. So we figured we’d be blogging a lot already. :)

So there you have it… We’d be incredibly stoked to have you stop by everyday, check out what is going on and even join in on the fun.

Here’s to a crazy busy month of August! (I hope we can actually pull this thing off!
Much love!
Ben+Whitney
