so, i chuckle a bit to know the ups and downs that will face carlie and i in our future, but right now, i am just experiencing and soaking in the blessings. "i am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine..."
on our way to the airport, carlie and i received a surprise gift, which was just enough for me to be able to purchase a brand-spankin-new canon 30d. the image below is the first captured, from our veranda in waikoloa, on the first morning of our honeymoon on the big island of hawaii.

now, i can't realistically expect the first to be the best, or even that great, for that matter... so i am excited for the experiences carlie and i will create over the next couple of weeks, and upon our return, i promise to share some of the images from our story. in the mean time, please check out the images from our wedding, captured by the dynamic duo: jasmine and jd. aloha.
