THE SUMMER HOUSE WEDDING: JENNIFER & ADAM

They walk through the world hand in hand. Maybe because her fingers fit so perfectly in between his, or perhaps it's the way they understand each other's sense of humor. Either way they're in love. Completely and fearlessly in love. And so, standing before close friends and family as witnesses they swore  perpetual love to each other.  They did it in a way only they could. 

Jennifer and Adam your wedding day was a true depiction of who you are. We feel most fortunate to have documented your love. Thank you for allowing us to be your wedding photographers.

Kisses & Disses: Stardom + Veggie Burgers

I used to dream of being a singer. That is until I realized I take after my mother's singing abilities.Sigh. Pretty tragic. There is of course no need to say how much Peter loves my singing. Especially when I sing the wrong lyrics to top it all off. It makes him cringe. This being said, I was singing Rose to the top of my lungs while working on my computer...

sometimes life is like a river tada da da da... sometimes life is like a river tada da da da. And so it continued for a few minutes.  From the corner of my eye I could see Peter trying to bite his tongue. After the fifth time singing the wrong lyrics he cracked under the pressure. LOVE SOMETIMES LOVE. 


huh?
the song, sometimes love it is a river
you mean I've been singing it wrong all this time?


Story of my life. Which leads into this week's kisses and disses.

This Week's Disses go to:

- People that don't appreciate my singing (a.k.a. Peter).
- Genes, they tend to be rather unfair

This Week's Kisses go to:

+ Summer, about time it got here!
+ My sister, for graduating last week.
+ Veggie burgers, there not half as bad as they sound. Really.

In honor of my singing career here is the real song with lyrics if you want to check it out...some say life is like a river tada dada dad

FOOD FRIDAY: Ethiopian Style

We love food. There is no denying it. Especially when it come to different exotic foods.
Although half of the time is Peter the one dragging me to such places, I enjoy them nevertheless.
Let’s face it, Grants Pass is not excatly the cultural salad bowl. So when one of our bride’s proposed meeting at an Ethipian resturant in Portland, we were thrilled!  Well, Peter was thrilled, I had to do some research. You know, just make sure they didn’t eat crickets or something of that sort in Africa.  I was pretty excited to I find out that  injera (Ethiopian bread) is to an Ethiopian what tortillas are to a Mexican.

Food is served up in a big, round plate. And I mean big...

 We all shared a vegetarian combo. Which was served on top of the injera. The eating utensils? Our hands. What better way to get to know someone that putting your hands all over each others food, right?


We loved it so much we ate there again the following night. Here is Peter proudly showing he cleaned the plate up! Quite an accomplishment considering the size of the thing...

If you are anywhere near Portland  and are in mood for something a little different be sure to check out the Queen Of Sheba...

Happy Friday!

Personal: Like father like son

They sit next to each other and I stare at them. Examining their faces side by side. Every line, every smile, every detail. They are much more alike than they care to admit. Peter is trying to teach his dad something about downloading pictures into his computer. Dad looks at me with his kind blue eyes, and I smile at him. I see Peter’s calm demeanor when I look into my father-in-law’s eyes.  I fight the urge to tell them how alike they are. I know they won’t agree.
