Hi Everyone -
So, we haven’t been on here in about a week, but I promise it’s for a good reason. The lady featured in so many of my images and stories - my travel partner, best friend, second brain - Carmen, and I were married on 7/13!
Today’s post will be all about that - I promise, we’ll get back to talking about the state and the places - but today, I want to try and thank a few folks. We worked hard to source things locally to support the wedding and the reception. A short list of folks we want to thank/folks who helped make it all possible - in alphabetical order -
Jodi Hollingshead (As You Are Boudoir Photography) for going “embedded” with us over the weekend, and capturing photos all along the way.
CB’s Hole in the Wall - These folks catered our reception, including delivery to our party tent. The food was delicious, and right on time. I know it was a lot of work for those folks (40 pizzas!).
New Hope Community Center - The folks at the New Hope Community Center helped us with so many things, going above and beyond with our rental of the space.
Rosewood Florist - Flowers, just the way we wanted them. And a cool “clothespin factory” t-shirt!
I have other folks to thank too - to close out for today, my friends Sam Beto, Richard Walton, and Brandon and Lacey Sheets, who fed hungry people “in the field” for our ceremony, and also made breakfast for the hearty folks who camped the reception. Waking up on a cool summer morning to the smell of bacon and hashbrowns is pretty fantastic.
To everyone who came out, thank you thank you thank you. We had a blast, and we know how hard and far folks came to be part of it with us. We had folks travel in from Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Maine, Michigan, and North Carolina, and it means so much to us.
Finally - today’s photo - we had our wedding ceremony as a very small ceremony in this place. Carmen and I have spent our time in the woods and wilds, and we wanted a place that celebrated that.
Excited to be here, watching the future stretch out in front of us. Love y’all, and we’ll get back to “normal” on Tuesday.
