Camping at Big Arm, Montana

[audio:http://www.jeremiahandrachelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/03-Holocene.mp3]

Its almost eleven and I just somehow got the mix right for pour over coffee after months of "tweaking"... This is my life in a nutshell... or a coffee bean.

Married life is good, we are broke, happy, and enjoying getting into the swing of things. We are almost caught up on editing, and will be tackling some album designs etc by the end of this week. We are also in the yearly process of rebranding and changing things we are not satisfied with. It seems like a never ending battle, but when it comes to our "art" it'll never be quite finished. I like the direction we are heading, and thats enough for now.

Every year Rachels family goes camping around Labor day, last year I was the odd new boyfriend, this year I was the almost husband. I drove a boat for the first time, and tested out my new Canon 814 super 8 camera, which we used later to film our wedding (fingers crossed, still have yet to send the film in) but as you can see from the awkwardly silent footage below, it works.

All the images below were taken on Kodak Portra 400 and 160 film.

Jon + Julia Day after session

This was such an insanely fun shoot. We don't often get a bride and groom that are willing to jump into a lake for us:) We also got to shoot a ton of film, which makes me super happy. This session also made me wish every wedding was on the water. Jon and Julia! You are both amazing people! and I'm so glad things worked out the way they did and and Rachel and I were able to capture these images.

Film shot on Mamiya 645af, 80mm 1.9N, Portra 400 and Fuji 400H.

Honeymoon in Napa, San Francisco, and Dillon beach on Polaroids and iPhone shots

We just got back a few days ago from our honeymoon. Right now Rachel is editing a senior session, and I'm writing this and replying to emails, while Brinkley is being totally unproductive laying between our desks. We took him for a walk earlier to Sweetpeaks, a local ice cream place, which happens to have dog ice cream. We are told it tastes like chicken, but neither of us really wants to find out. Brinkley however loves the stuff. One drawback is that any room he is in for the next few hours better have good ventilation... We went to California to shoot a wedding, and in the week prior traveled around northern California, staying at Bed and Breakfasts, old hotels, and seeing as much of the ocean as we could. We made a fire on the beach, drove one of the best roads I've ever been on on Napa (James Bond cool) and tasted the best coffee I've ever tasted ar Four Barrel Coffee in San Francisco. I shot as much of it as I could on Impossible Project Polaroid film, on my SX-70 folding SLR.

We are doing our best to catch up on work, and getting into the routine of being Married... Oh yeah! I forgot to mention that! We got married :) Which naturally happens before most honeymoons:) Rachel wants me to write something about married bliss... I guess the starring at each other with stupid grins, holding hands until they cramp and PDA qualifies. Its like that first week of dating turned up to eleven...  I'd be lying if I said its been easy to start working again. We are still in happy land of nobody exists but us right now, and get irritated at the slightest interruption into our seemingly perfect world:) but alas, emails must be answered, pictures uploaded, and the job that we love only a little less than each other must continue. We are so excited to be starting this journey with all of you, and can't wait to see what the next year brings.
