Just got back from a quick little vacation to Arizona to visit dear friends and just take it easy.  It was great.  As I was on the plane though, I started thinking about the last time I visited the Southwest, Santa Fe to be exact.  Which I then realized I never put up a blog post about.  So back in September I photographed a wedding at the Santa Fe Opera House.  It was beautiful.  The day started off with a trip to the salon with the ladies and then on to the location for the wedding and reception.  A lovely wedding and an awesome couple.  

I love taking the ferry.  It's true.  It reminds me of being a kid.  I've never had to commute by ferry, so for me, it's a novelty.  And if you've ever ridden a ferry with me, you know that I always get a hot cocoa or coffee from the machine and go out on the deck and get cold.  It's what I do, it's tradition, doesn't matter what it tastes like or how cold or rainy.  (Though I must admit it's just not quite the same without the little paper cups with handles and poker cards on them).  So when my friend said she was running out to whidbey, I was totally down.  Ferry ride and mini road trip, awesome!  She grew up on the island so the ferry is not, well, as exciting to her.  As we drive onto the ferry, she turns off the car and looks over at me with disdain, "you're going to make me go upstairs, aren't you?".  Of course, I said "Yes!!"
