Just a quick note to let you know that we will be out of the office for the next week, and the week after.
We are going on a ski trip to B.C and then to Vegas for work (stay tuned!!). We will be checking & returning emails, it may
just be a little bit slower then normal.
Much Love,
Radelle, Adam & Kari
When I think long & hard about my passion for photos & life in general; I can trace
a lot of my passion & feelings to when I lost my dad. I learned a hard lesson when I was young that
those you love & adore can be gone anytime. Even though you think tragedy could never happen
to you, it can. Recently I had a bride write me an email and tell me that she had suddenly lost her
grandmother (shortly after her wedding) and that the picture I took of the two of them together has
given her much joy & peace. It’s the moments that matter, and it warms my heart & is a huge honor
for me to think that I have a small part to play in preserving those memories, those moments for you.
I look back at Rockwell’s newborn photos of me & his dad grinning from ear to ear at him & I hardly
remember him so small–but when I look at those photos, I am instantly taken back to that place in time,
those feelings, those smells, those days. Memories are amazing things.
I was watching this photo of California photographer Dane Sanders (who is fabulous!!) and the video
just hit home with me. I can see that him and I’s passion comes from the same place–the soul & the heart.
We love what we do because we know how powerful memories are. Check it out.
p.s. This is me & my dad when I was about 5. He passed away a long time ago--this weekend. I will be
thinking of him & treasuring precious memories. (he looks like hes napping & I look cranky :)
I think that as you contact photographers for your wedding, that you look to see a “full” wedding & not
just the best 10 shots.
The slideshow featured here is only 105 slides long, (whereas they got 1200 rockin’ images), but
it at least gives you a better idea of wedding day coverage & what to expect…versus just seeing 10 images
that we’ve spent hours upon hours touching up to woo you.
Enjoy your sneak peek at a real wedding!

I have been putting together a family journal for Matt and I. It includes pictures (year to year) and text.
As the months continue on, I keep adding pages…
It includes all of our memories.Every funny thing that was ever said, any struggle that we have ever crossed.
Lately, I have been working on our wedding section of it…
Typing out all the speeches that were made… all the things I remember about that fabulous day.
I am so lucky to have them ’save’ their speeches, so that I can go back and re-read their words of advice, their funny stories…
After the wedding is all said and done, it is easy to forget what had been said.
As I was typing out my moms speech..
I couldn’t help but tear up.
It was so beautifully written but even more beautifully said.
One part of it that stuck out to me was,
” Always love and respect each other.
Remember that a Bride and Groom are indeed best friends,
these come not with time, but with trust!
May your life be filled with Happiness and Joy!”
I honestly cannot picture anything more beautiful than growing old together on one pillow,
With my one true love.
My BEST friend.
My support.
My Husband.

Dear Matt,
I love it when you make sure that I am warm during the wee hours in the morning,
and lift our covers to my chin and then slightly rub my back.
I love that you hold my hand before I drift off.
I love it that you let me hog the bed. And let me starfish.
I love how you still tell me I am beautiful when I crawl into bed with
no make-up, wearing your sweatpants, and your hoody.
You know I don’t like to be cold…
I love the person you are. I love the way you treat me like gold. I love how you put me first.
I just hope that in 40 years we are just like we are today.
Sharing the same pillow.
Love Eternally,
Kari
