weddings, couples, wedding tips, and our personal life found here
Most of these photos were taken on my 24th birthday. It was such a sentimental one – we were almost packed to get on a plane and move back to the mainland. We completely forgot we’d taken them until a few months after we’d settled into Michigan, so opening these files from the lab was a sweet surprise.
Every time I see these I’m reminded that people make a place. Of course we miss the ocean & fresh fruit & tropicaly-ness (just go with it) of Hawaii but more than anything, we miss our friends.
This broken film camera we thrifted for 15 bucks right before we got married is my best way of really seeing our life. Unexpected & spontaneous blessings, day after day. And I’m excited to share some of that here each month.
Kristy spent tons of time back in this valley when she was a kid, racing over the boulders in the river with all of her cousins.
Lois spotted Etu in the college cafeteria & whispered to her friend, “He looks like an angel carved out of wood!”
These two spent their first year of dating separated by the ocean, communicating only through Brad’s written letters
These two are made for each other: the speeches they read to one another at their reception were humbling and refreshing for every married couple to hear.
This is for the entire Haintz/Walker crew: what a classy, simple day rich in ways that matter – quality time spent with family & friends.
We wish everyone reading this could meet them in person but for now we hope the people who know & love them can look at their engagement photos & say, “these are so Danny Donuts & Ames to Blames.”
The emotion in these speaks for itself, but we have to say: it’s hard to find a couple out there with such genuine admiration & respect for each other.
