chris + allie

5 years ago today i married my best friend.

we’ve learned things about each other along the way and have grown together.

since that day we’ve been through different jobs and different homes, have started a business together, and are adding one more to our family!

it’s been the most amazing journey, and i wouldn’t want to share it with anyone else.

i love you, chris!

***update***  I love you too, allie!  ***update***

happy anniversary!

allie

remember these two? they’re married now! woohoo!

special thanks to colleen + ben for helping us with this two wedding weekend – they rock, and we couldn’t have done it without them!

ashley + chris: hope you guys had an amazing honeymoon!

in line for some awesome hot dogs in the city of angels.  pink’s was good.  not great.

for a few days.  i simply couldn’t avoid the onion ring.

we love the show “californication” and while in venice beach, allie and i searched for a few of the most used locations.  this one was karen & bill’s house.

this is hank’s loft.

i bet you’ve seen this in a million movies or tv shows…

some of y’all saw this on twitter, but here it is again.  allie’s first time in the pacific ocean.

okay.  finally we are on the 1. wow, what an amazing ride.  we highly recommend it.

i love it when the car rental company doesn’t have the car you ordered in stock so they have to upgrade you.

my favorite shot with the diana on the drive up to san francisco.

don’t worry, allie’s instax are coming soon.  we took too many cameras so you’ll see some of the same stuff coming up, just shot in a different way each time.  then again…  we are photographers.  what did you expect?

chris + allie.

flip flops and converse… just like allie and i.

…and they said they were shy in front of a camera.  these were some of the first pics.  we weren’t even warmed up yet.  they rock.

i told them i drew that line just for them…  they admired it for like 5 seconds intently.

we stumbled onto an amazing vine wall, that i’m sure allie and i will be using in the future…  many times…  it’s amazing…  i need to stop with the “…”

not to embarrass you chris, but ashley owned you.

there were so many great spots. this alley is amazing.

the many faces of  ashley + chris.

we found this fake chalk outline (i hope) where someone was killed.  chris asked if he could lay in it.  i said yes, obviously.

they had such great personalities even the mannequins joined in.

chris had this pillow made for ashley.  it reads “olive you,” and it’s a giant plush olive.  respect dude.  respect.

i said “singing in the rain.” they handed this in as their homework.  i gave them an “a.”

taking in the atlanta dusk, the light was beautiful for photos.

i had some markers and poster board left in my car from our christmas card sessions, so i made them write one thing they’d promise to do for each other when they are married.

then they turned the markers on themselves.

love. devotion.

security.  faithful.

now for some fun with nikon’s intervalmeter feature. weeeee….  magic.

thanks ashley + chris.  congrats again!

chris + allie.

allie,

i love you, and i know it took me a long time to write you a song but here it is.  i struggled for a long time trying to write in the style of music of your favorite artists and failed miserably.  then i heard you talk about how awesome fulton was, and it just came to me.

***if anyone would like the download the song, right click here.  anyone wishing to use it in a slideshow or whatever, that’s totally fine.  i only ask for a little shout and i’d love to see how you use it, but that’s it.***

i love you and i’m so glad i’m married to you.  you’re my lover, business partner and best friend… and i wouldn’t want it any other way.

chris.
