But wait a minute… What does wedding photography has anything to do with a farming magazine? Plenty, as a matter of fact. The editor of Hobby Farm Home magazine was doing a great article about farms as perfect setting for a wedding. And they saw an awesome wedding of Sarah + Todd that we shot last year in Sarah family’s Christmas tree farm at Twain Harte, CA. It was a perfect fit! On a sidenote, if you’re thinking about doing a wedding in these type of settings or backyard, down-home style, please call us. We LOVE these types of nuptials! img 4562 copy Published: Hobby Farm Home Magazine?

We *heart* our clients and our clients *heart* us! Check out what the postman delivered today. Kelly + Andrew (of WeddingBee fame) put together TWO very special care packages for each of us. Ray got, among many things, a handmade Thank You card, yummy cookies, a special popcorn they got in Hawaii from their honeymoon, a cute black ninja doll (signifying our stealth and ninja-like shooting style), and get this, a cool Guitar Hero T-shirt (Ray’s such a nerd)!! While Erwin also got some similar things such as the ninja doll, cookies and coffee and stuff, he also got some wind up sushi (Erwin loves his sushi!) as well as a gamers’ t-shirt due to his previous contemplation of which game console to get. Thank you, Kelly + Andrew, for the most thoughtful gift we could ever receive. You rock. Seriously.
