Matt & Audrey | Hawaii Trip

One of our favorite parts about Hawaii was spending quality time with friends. We even had the opportunity to live with friends while there. Matt & Audrey graciously opened up their new home to us and we had a blast. Of course, we had the best hostess in the world...Miss Audrey herself. We were ecstatic to say the least. Beach time, slack lining, hikes, games, yummy meals, movies and watching sunsets were all part of our weekly routines. Thankfully we were up on high ground, so during the tsunami craziness, we had a 20 person slumber party!

This is a little glimpse of their cute family. Matt, Audrey and little Andrew... thank you for opening your home and your hearts to us! We miss you guys!

Hawaii | Living the Dream

most people spend their entire lives working hard to go on mini-retirements when they're older...much older. we have come to realize what better time to live the life you've always dreamed of than right now. thankfully we have been blessed to own our own business and instead of working for our business we have decided to make our business work for us. after working around the clock to the point of exhaustion and burn-out the past couple years, we concluded that is not how we want to live our lives. it was time for a complete paradigm shift....to live life slow, soak in the simple moments, enjoy deeply the relationships around us and bathe in the beauty of today. what better way to begin this lifestyle than to travel somewhere warm, beautiful and adventurous for the winter. our destination: oahu, hawaii. for two months we played, read, swam, surfed, hiked, camped, watched sunrises & sunsets and best of all...played with old and new friends along the way. we made memories we will never forget & are already planning and plotting for the next getaway. be encouraged. do what you love to do. have an adventure. allow your heart to live.

epic sunsets.

Norman and Candice | San Francisco Wedding Photography

What a pleasure it was to capture the beautiful wedding of Norman and Candice! Candice has been one of my (Tammy's) dear friends since the good old Teen Mania days so we were stoked to meet her groom and be a part of such a special day for these two. Candice was a stunning bride that couldn't have been more happier marrying her best friend. It was a lovely time indeed shared with so many of Candice & Norman's wonderful family and friends.

Congrats Candice & Norman!! We wish you guys the best and hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!

We loved frolicking around San Francisco for the first time with our beautiful sister Robin and her boyfriend David venturing around seeing the sites, eating amazing food and of course visiting the legendary Golden Gate bridge. San Francisco was breathtaking and we can't wait to go back!

George and Vicki | Blue Moon Austin Ranch Style Wedding

Just outside of Austin, Texas at the breathtaking Vista West Ranch, our dear cousin Vicki married her best friend George. It was the perfect fall day that segued into a nice crisp evening hosting one of the rarest of Blue Moons...hence the "Blue Moon" themed wedding.

Being the artist that she is, Vicki hand-crafted most, if not all, of the decor. From the flower arrangements to the table centerpieces, they were all her labor of love.

During the portraits Vicki and George turned on their inner models. I remember telling Vicki "You're a model on the runway in Paris... GO!!!" and she went from pose to pose giggling in between. It was beautiful. She was gorgeous. We were thrilled to see her truly happy, and of course finally hitched. ;)

The highlight of the day was seeing her father, my great "Uncle H", dance with her and twirl her around like he was 25! (He is in his 80's.) My mom, two of my sisters, aunts, uncles and grandparents were all there to celebrate with Vicki & George. We also met a bunch of George's fun loving family who just happen to be related to Willie Nelson.

A big thanks to the the staff at the Ranch. They were all very helpful and great to work with. What a wonderful place to have a wedding!

CONGRATS Vicki & George! We're stoked for you guys & can't wait to visit again in TX!

Since it was our first trip to Austin, we took a few free hours and drove to the SoCo area to eat at Magnolia Cafe. It's definitely a must for anyone traveling to Austin...we loved it!
