Friday nights.

Hitched in a little home, this couple seems pretty rad. Looks so much like Portland, I'd be surprised if it wasn't the city. So with this, my friends, I end the week. Tonight you'll be able to find me sipping on a drink, editing images from a wonderful wedding, Tucker boy curled up underneath the desk by my feet, listening to the music my husband creates drifting through the vents up from the basement. Hope you all enjoy your weekend, adieu until Monday. (But you can always find me on twitter, here.)

Laurel Deer Crafted

I admit, I'd totally make this if I had free time to craft right now. I love it! Lauren Elise put together an awesome tutorial, check out the full post here. I love her style in general, isn't it great?

Rescued

We received the good news last night, she's coming home safe! It's a battle far from over, but for now at least there's two people that are heading back to their homes, and I know their family and friends couldn't be more any more thankful for the chance to see their loved ones again.

TimeScapes by Tom Lowe

These are insane. Incredible. Breathtaking. I want to get lost in them, project them on all four walls of a room and live in it. I don't know how this guy has captured these, but I think I've found my new favorite artist. Full screen HD it, there's no other worthy way of viewing.

Sequin Glamour

I couldn't resist posting this. I know it's made it's way around the blogosphere, but this is one of my favorite wedding dresses I've seen. Period. And I can't get over the last shot (or any of the shots for that matter). Found via Wedding Chicks, photography by Scarlet O'neill.

Dress found here!

Twitter, you're doing it wrong.

Hehe.

Family Portrait

This holiday we didn't really get a family picture that worked. Other than our DIY christmas photo shoot that ended in an all out brawl (therefore no pics, but one of our best fights yet), I was mostly behind the camera rather than in front of it. When I handed my camera to my mom to snap one when we were in Tucson to remedy this, my Grandmother snuck this one from the side. It turned out being my favorite, I love our strange little family.

And yes, I am aware I'm holding my dogs hand.

Q+A

The images above are little glimpse from our trip. I'm now back in California, I have been back for a few days but I've been busy catching up with work and dealing with a back/muscle/rib problem that's been pretty debilitating. Forgive me if this post is a little screwy (a word my grandmother would say), but I've popped a few pills today. This was only after I went to the chiropractor two times and tried to go the natural route, but sometimes the western medical world is just the way to go.

Instead of trying to write something (already did, you should of seen the mess), I decided to do a little tagged thingy sent from Ruthy to my cousin Calista, who then sent it to Sarah Nadine (another one of my ladies now hitched and having a BABY) and a few other gals including myself. The first time I've actually done one of these... but I thought it'd be a nice change.

I'm going to be lame and not pass it on, I'm just going to answer the questions. Because that's all my brain can really handle right now.

1. I’m giving you $20,000 to do with as you see fit. What would you do? 
I was just talking about this the other day. I would invest in my business and travel to Europe. Halvies.
2. What’s your favorite book?
Umm... I can't answer this. In my senior year of highschool I was sick the majority of it and had just transfered to a new school, so I read about 3 books a week. There's NO possible way I could choose a favorite. I just want it to be fiction, be a story I get lost in, and be really long. Series get bonus points.
3. Can you drive a stick shift? If so, how did you learn? 
My dear father taught me how to drive stick by parking his little toyota truck in a big empty parking lot next to the lake and saying 'have at it!'. He then proceeded to take the dogs down to the beach for a nice swim. At least I had it better than my sister, she had to learn on a logging road in an old 70's land cruiser if I remember correctly.
4. Do you have an Instagram account? What’s your handle? 
How do you find that? Wait, just figured it out. It's corinnekrogh.
5. What would be your dream job? 
A traveling photojournalist with a continuous assignment that speaks to my heart and pays for my husband to come along. 
6. What is your favorite piece of art? 
A piece called The Great Blue Heron by Evon Zerbitz. My sister picked it out for me for my 18th (17th?) birthday.
7. What new band did you discover in 2011 that really got you dancing? Or at least toe-tapping? 
So many. A secret one is Lykke Li, don't tell my husband.
8. What’s your favorite condiment? 
Ketchup. It's what I order fries for. Yum.
9. What’s your favorite piece of jewelry? 
My wedding ring.
10. What’s one thing on your “to-do” list for 2012? 
Book 25 weddings...
11. Do you use powder or liquid laundry detergent? Why? 
Liquid. E had a bad reaction to powder detergent. Not using that again. 


Whew! I'm going to go take a nap now.

Back in North Carolina

It's been almost exactly a year since we packed up and moved out of the Asheville area, and now we're back for work and it couldn't feel more weird. It's hard to not get really sentimental about it, we always struggle to figure out which place feels most like home and this is only one of them. I haven't been able to get out with my camera yet, but this image taken by Derek Olson pretty much sums up the beauty of this mountain city. For now I'm cozied up in our friends wonderful little home in the woods 45 minutes away from the city, working on editing a wedding while everyone works. Rain falling down, a sleepy little pup, music playing, the sound of a creek outside, light pouring in from every direction... it does my heart some good. I'm so much happier in a place where I feel connected to the land around me.

Pig on a Zipline

Can you guess where this is? Geico's new commercial that's just hitting the screen was filmed at our course in Wrightwood! My hubby kicked ass helping to create it, so proud of our whole crew that was involved. It's so much fun (and kind of weird) to see Maxwell zipping in a familiar place!

Right vs. Left

Just cause I like it, not sure where it came from.

My Favorite Place on Earth

Home. But a home that doesn't belong to me anymore, and that I can never have again. See that island right there in front? I'm buying it someday with my sister, whether she knows it or not. Then we're going to build a fortress. Surprise dear husbands! You had no idea what you were getting yourselves into when you married us, did you?

I had a pretty awesome playground growing up, and thanks to satellite imagery I can revisit it whenever I want.

A Wedding Anniversary

Okay.. so I've been gone for AWHILE. Due to the holiday madness combined with work deadlines, I took a couple weeks off the blog unannounced. But I'm back, and I have something awesome to share with you to start off 2012! One year ago my sis got hitched, and this is a little peek of their day. An awesome New Years Eve wedding in Ouray, Colorado.



Thanks to Chris West for creating such a gem, he was the creative mind behind our wedding video too! He's killing it, so if you're looking for someone to document your day make sure to get in touch. When I watched the full video I bawled like a baby, I love having such talented friends.
