Sitting at @caffetto, hanging with @guthrie. Tonight is @burnettphoto’s going away party. He’s about to embark on a coast to coast venture across North America. Things are going to start around 8:00p.m., so I’m sticking around to see him off, then going home to focus on photo editing and cleaning up the MTG cards I have laying all over both rooms. Friday’s are always hectic, but today has been decent. Just the right amount of work, friends and family and recreation. I’d like to get in a few more episodes of Marianne with @vermillionfox before she leaves for a weekend trip.
It seems like everyone has something bad going on right now. Last night, me, @guthrie and @vermillionfox met with my new Aussie friend, Holly and even on the drive over, she texted me that she was shaken with tragic family news. I wanted to share something uplifting to counter the bad energy in the world right now. My long time friend, winner of Inkmaster, @ryanashley and her man Arlo were just married! They eloped, having a quiet, intimate wedding and I couldn’t be happier for them. They recently made the announcement on Instagram and I’m honored they did so with my photos.
I’ve known @ryanashley for 15 year, long before she was a huge celebrity tattooer. She’s seen me come up in the photography world and I’ve watched her become a household cable name. It’s a bond we share as two scrappy artists living in Scranton, PA […yeah, like “The Office”]. We got out, and as I moved to Minneapolis in 2010, @ryanashley would eventually go on to meet Arlo, ironically, a Minnesota native. These photos were shot in Minneapolis while they were both in town for a family wedding. All set design and assistance was done by our own, @vermillionfox.
So congratulations @ryanashley and Arlo! Love you both and couldn’t be happier that you’ve found one another. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this special occasion! Share the love during this ugly ass retrograde, or whatever is happening. I have a handful of other edits from this shoot still to come. I always hold on to the best edits for last, too. Thanks for reading and supporting my work here on Steemit. For more photography, art, illustration, follow me here @kommienezuspadt. Good night!
