When I say I do...

So a couple of my friends are getting married this year and the last couple of months I have seen multiple engagement and wedding photos. It doesn't help either that I work at a wedding destination where for a mere million dollars you too can get married there!
At work we receive wedding resumes of the couples, with information all about their grand event and the names of all their vendors. I usually look at who their wedding event coordinator is and then I look at the photographer and visit their website for ideas of my own. I find that photographers are so creative not just with pictures but also with such a beautiful view of life. I know have my dream wedding pretty much planned in my head but won't be planning it for quiet sometime!

I have come across one of my favorite photographer so far. I love this guys work because it is so vintage, funky and out of the box. I have also met him and his wife and think they are just the cutest couple! Check out their blog and see for yourself, this is Gabriel Ryan's blog.

spare the chook eat more red meat!

I just want to mention how much I heart 17th street. Not only is there a yogurtland (which in itself is a whole other blog entry), and what I think to be by far the best frozen yogurt in the land, but I just saw another great store opening early 2010!
As I was walking to the shops as I do on 17th I noticed the old Pasta Bravo was now covered by a sign that said "The Counter". I am instantly excited and actually took a picture of the "opening early 2010" sign and bbm'ed it to my roommate and my friend Michael who share the love of The Counter with me.
This is a build it yourself burger restaurant that also specializes in micro brews and plasma screen tvs which play the current sporting events. This isn't any normal burger joint though, it has a type of glam and flare that makes it a little more classy than any other burger joints.
I would strongly advise you look at their website, just the page makes you hungry for one of their custom burgers!
Looks like the next 6 months are going to be an exciting one on 17th!!
