"Estate" Sale - August 1, 2014:
Yup. August 1, 2014 was when we sold literally everything we owned in preparation of moving to the UK. I still regret selling our kitchen table. I loved that thing. But it's okay. This just means all new stuff when we get back, right?
Flash Flood - August 5, 2014:
On the 5th, our neighborhood had a huge flash flood, and the neighborhood kids went swimming! I've never seen so much rainwater backed up in the drainage pools. So of course, I wrapped my camera in a garbage bag (true story: I almost typed "bin liner." The Brits are getting to me...) and ventured out in the storm to document!

| I'm pretty sure that's not deep enough for diving... |
Skyler and Hillary's Wedding - August 9, 2014
YES! They finally tied the knot after like 6 freakin' years, and they asked me to be the photographer. It was such a pretty day, and Hilly was a gorgeous bride. And I'm super happy to have her as a sister.
These first few are from a Bridal session at my parents' house.
 |
| This is my parents' backyard. How beautiful are those stairs?! (This was where Chris and I had our wedding reception, btw. In case if you weren't there.) |
These next ones are from the actual ceremony/reception at Conrad Ranch in Provo Canyon.
 |
| After the ceremony, and they walked down the aisle together, Sky stopped behind this tree to give her a squeeze. I thought that was real cute. |
 |
| My cute family! |
 |
| The lighting was perfect this day. So beautiful. |
 |
| Cutting the cake |
 |
| The garter |
 |
| The bouquet toss (one of the best things about being married is never having to participate in these. Haha.) |
 |
| The first dance... |
 |
| ...which my niece Lily promptly interrupted! Haha. |
 |
| And their getaway car! For their honeymoon, they drove this thing up the California coastal highways. |
Moving Day - August 16, 2014
My sweet mother-in-law, Sharon, let us live with her while we waited on our UK visas to be granted. Little did we know, it would take until October.
(In all reality, neither Chris or I minded too much. Sharon's the best hostess of all time. In our 4 years of marriage, Chris never had so many home-cooked meals, let alone fresh ironed bedsheets every other day. Every time we visit Utah, we still choose to stay with her over going to a fancy-pants hotel, even though Chris's company would pay for it all. Hotels don't pamper like she does. Haha.)
Other Notable August Things: PHOTOSHOOTS!
I did a few photoshoots with friends, to get a good handle on outdoor lighting concepts. Here are just a few images!
 |
| Alex was such a trooper during this shoot. I made him stand out in the freezing rain forever. Poor guy. |
Stay tuned for September, whenever I get around to it. (Probably in about another 6 months, let's be real.)
