Don’t think you didn’t get caught sneakin’ all up in this biz.

I showed you mine, now you show me yours. Seriously. If this guy gets me the photo he was snappin at the same time as yours truly, dinner will be served (and by dinner I mean, you can come over and I’ll make you dinner and we can get to know one another). On me.

I love finding images like this while post processing. They make me smile.

Full blog of these two crazy kids coming very, very soon.

Today I jumped in the water with the groom for a little day-before surf. Not only was I floppin’ around with stupid fins on a body board, but I’m also ridiculously out of shape and have no idea what the crap I’m doing when it comes to capturing surfing.

Between travel and being waist deep in album designs and processing, we’ve taken a little vacation from our blogging lives. But have no fear friends, we’re back with a vengance.

And we’ll kick things off with the killer wedding day of Matt+Alicia…

Matt+Alicia… We haven’t had that much fun at a wedding in a long time. You both are incredibly gracious and even more hilarious! Welcome back to Washington. From what we hear, you have both definitely been missed. Thanks for the laughs, smiles, and incredibly good time.

I found this awhile ago on the Ryler Society tumblog. And every time I watch it I laugh just as hard as the first time I saw it.

So I thought I would share it. But here is the catch… you’ve got to vote for your favorite fall in the comments section, cause this is just toooo good to pass up.

My vote is most definitely for #18 or #11. The element of surprise in the  “OH CRAP I JUST MISSED THE BAR AND AM GOING TO FACE PLANT” is absolutely exhilerating.

side note… I kind of feel bad for laughing at these lovely athlete’s expense. Kind of. No really, I do feel bad. But it still is just soooo funny.
