Hello Holga.

This is Holga. I discovered her via Emmanuel, the photographer we have hired for the wedding in Mexico. Every picture he has posted via the Holga has made me catch my breath. They are that amazing. The pictures created with this camera are not crisp. They are not as brightly hued as the quality you would get were you to use a digital camera but, the effect created by the film is unbelievably nostalgic. Which is exactly the feeling I want to capture while touring Ireland with my husband. 


Here is an example of what the Holga can capture:

Isn't it absolutely beautiful? Hopefully I'll get a chance to play around with one before departing to Mexico. And, hopefully, I can persuade Emmanuel to put his Nikon down every so often to capture June 26th with Holga in hand, too...

Picture madness!

I am on a quest. 

Not too difficult of one, just pricier than I ever could have imagined. I am no longer satisfied with uploading pictures from my camera to my computer to facebook. I cannot savor them the way I do whenever I first eye a shot. Therefore, my new quest is to print out my favorite pictures of trips, travels and adventures. 

Tonight I sent off for the Marfa & Seattle trips. They set me back forty plus bucks. Whoever would have thought pictures would be that much on the Walgreen's website?! Any recommendations to a higher quality printer or at the very least a bit more wallet-friendly, please share your tips. They will be more than welcome. 

More wedding blogs!

Clint, our engagement photographer, alerted me to the fact that our pictures were posted on another wedding blog the other day.

I must confess, I do not tire of seeing these pictures. It's funny to think how eager I was to see these and yet, I don't think it'll even begin to compare to how I'll feel upon seeing June 26th (and 27th) captured on film. Only 134 more days. Time sure does fly when you're...well, busy*. 


*Not to imply that wedding planning is not fun (because I truly am enjoying it) however, work is keeping me fully focused on TAKS. Leaving me no room to daydream while at my desk.

omg!

Wedding blogs & our engagement pictures make me happy.Therefore, having our engagement pictures featured on one of my favorite blogs has me pinching myself in disbelief.

It is my bride-to-be dream come true!

Ecstatic,
