my favorite thing about marriage

are moments like the one marty and i had two nights ago while falling asleep: marty: (in that trippy place in between sleep and being awake--think heavy breathing)

me:  hey! i just made up another joke, you want to hear it?

marty:  ughhhoo

me: okay. what do you call a panda in a swimming pool?

marty: whaaaaaargggh?

...................wait for it

me: a panda in a swimming pool! (insane, obnoxious laughter)

martin: (in spite of himself): hahahahahahahahahaha

me: i am totally winning!

martin: winning what? who are you playing against?

me: the panda!

martin: hahahahahahaha

me: see, i win again!

*we both fall asleep smiling

.......

what i love most about marriage is the silly nonsense. the ability to make the lamest joke in the world and be appreciated for it.  then the ability to follow that joke with something that makes absolutely no sense---to anyone but you and him. happy sigh.

what do you love most about marriage?

and speaking of marriage, i'm working on editing this loveliest of lovelies wedding:

Ally And Travis Boise Linen Building Wedding

i seriously had THE hardest time blogging this wedding. and i think its because i didn't want to let it go. that's how precious this couple, these photographs and this record of ally and travis's wedding day was to me. it was like my secret treasure. i reveled in the anticipation of sharing it the way we all revel in the anticipation of Christmas. the anticipation, of course, becomes the best part. but here it is now. and i hope you can see  the beauty the way that i did.  thanks so much for looking.

tidbits - Denver Colorado Wedding Photography

Lately while going through my scans, I've gotten so axious to establish the vibe of a wedding that i have to throw together a smattering of photos that make me smile from ear to ear. these work as fun little sneak peeks i can send to my clients. then this morning i got to thinking that it might be fun to share them with you as a little preview of what's coming to the blog. so here's a small sampling of three upcoming weddings. all images shot with my beloved film, of course. heidi and sean.....

lindzee and javier...

and ally and travis....

now if i could stop eating halloween candy and get to getting organized, perhaps these gorgeous weddings would see the light of day a little bit faster! thanks for looking and have a wonderful tuesday!
