Natural Bridges // the Navabpours

Coming back to Santa Cruz is always a pleasure, but the hour Hannah and I spent on the beach with Paul, Lucy, Emily, and Cameron left my face hurting from way too much smiling. Seeing them run around, digging the sand and flapping their arms like birds reminded me of being a kid on a team of four with Han, mom and dad. It made me miss ganging up on each other, pairing up, and just plain playing. I can't wait to see my parents in two weeks! (Imagine creepy Total Recall robot lady saying it, because that's how my dad will be repeating it when he reads this.) Two weeks... two weeks...

Garden Magic // Karen & Aaron: Part 2

I don't know what to say about these guys other than that they really know how to throw a party. Karen and Aaron's wedding was simple and sweet, with a wild ending to the evening as Aaron's band (and guests) jammed into the night. I loved how every single guest joined in the action, dancing to songs ranging from Hava Nagila to Neil Young. Enjoy a handful now with more photos to come on my web site!
