july has arrived.

i hate to bag on july, but i think june is my favorite month of the year.

it was a good month for us and the weather is always lovely...

until next year, june.

july is fun too with all the celebrating we do, but it's already like insanely hot.

i believe i sweated more than normal this weekend.

first, i photographed this lovely couple's wedding:

and in between the temple and reception i finally caved and we made a trip to the apple store.

i guess you could say my trustworthy first generation iPhone was pretty close to kicking the bucket...

it lasted a good 3 years and 3 months though!

but i got sick of it dying 3 times a day and not being able to update the software and the pixels were slowly disappearing.

and since lincoln's iPhone has looked like this since february:

we figured it was time.

and we are happy with our purchases.

so beautiful:

while we were at the apple store we ran into kera!

blog world meets real world!

and yes, she is really that beautiful.

another blog meeting this week...

i photographed this awesome couple and it was so fun.

more on that soon.
