My New Favorite Travel Lens

  • Simplify and Travel With One Lens!!

I blogged about our trip to Hawaii and we started to get so many emails about ONE thing. You guessed it….. the resounding question was “WHAT LENSES DID YOU USE?!” Well there was once a day when I used to take MULTIPLE lenses on vacation and I am excited to announce that those days are over!! Yep! I’ve found my traveling soul-mate in lens form and it rocked my world in Hawaii!! The truth is, you don’t NEED to have all of your lenses… you just need to have the capabilities of all of your lenses! For example….

Carter + Steph

  • A Classic Richmond, Virginia Wedding

She was known in college for having a contagious joy about her and that’s one of the reasons I loved being around her. Steph and I lived together for three years in college and so I got to experience her joy every day. Some days were obviously more joyful than others but even on the days that weren’t great, I always loved being with her. There’s just something about her…. some would say that it’s her smile or her laugh but I think her dad was spot on when he said that everyone LOVES Steph because they see Jesus in her. He toasted to the newlyweds and barely got his words out. You could tell he wasn’t just emotional about giving away his eldest daughter…. he was choked up because he was thankful for how faithful God has been in Steph’s life!

Oahu, Hawaii Vacation

  • Part 2 | Volcanoes, 4 Wheeling and Cliffs for Days!

One week ago we were on a plane leaving one of the most beautiful islands on the planet! This vacation was absolutely amazing and I’m sad that it has come and gone. However, I have so many new pictures still left to share! Last week I shared part ONE from our trip and today I’m sharing PART TWO! We’re going to start this post with our air tour! We decided to splurge and do a tour of the Big island via plane and it was the BEST decision! However, we almost didn’t get to go…. and here’s why….
