Kelsey + Kevin Married :: where are the elevators?

Mark and I are in NYC right now, having alot of fun.  :) Yes, we are madly in love with this city, but what is their problem? How on earth are you suppose to reproduce (aka have children)  in a city that does everything it can to make it difficult to travel with a baby? I have grown up going to NYC every summer, winter break, and sometimes Easter. Its amazing how you dont realize it is not “kid friendly” until you are stuck 3 stories underground with 9 (!) pieces of luggage, a baby crying in a stroller, with no elevators or escalators in sight? My once good friend, the stairs, has now become my worst enemy! ….. not to mention last night at 11:00pm, I was carrying so much baby stuff (and a baby), that I was sweating in places I did not even know you could sweat from….. OK, Im done ranting. let me end this paragraph by saying WE LOVE NYC, but what is their problem, invest in some elevators! :)

Kelsey!!!!!! Kevin!!!!! We love you guys!!!!! I met Kelsey 2 years ago when she emailed me about doing an internship with Mark Brooke Photography. We met her, and immediately knew she would be a perfect fit to our company….. then we got to meet Kevin. My first impressions was; “wow, he is so sweet, and man, they are sooooo perfect for each other”! Kesey and Kevin met at Biola University and immediately started dating. Soon after that, he proposed to Kelsey on the beach. There was a heart shaped outline of candles, and he dropped to his knee. I remember the day kelsey came in to our studio beaming because Kevin had just proposed. Mark and I feel honored to be apart of their wedding, and we are so happy for them! Here are just a FEW of our favorite images.

Relaxation…

This past week our good friends and us got on a plane and headed to Upstate New York. Mark and I have a NYC work week coming up, so we extended our stay to hang out and relax. There is Match.com, eharmony.com, and jdate.com etc….. Sarah, Chris, Mark, and I joke that we found eachother on my hypothetical best friend website…  BFF.com, because the minute we met each other we felt like we had known each other since junior high.

Our week together was amazing! Between bonfires, water skiing, mini golf, bat-mitten, sailing, and eating way to much, we found time to just sit on the end of the dock and read a book in peace. It was a trip I will never forget!

the view is kinda ridiculous….

riding the “putt-putt” down to the local family camp to play “mini-golf” and get loads of Swedish Fish!

again… the view is to die for!

Free as a bird… or a kid.

Remember the days we were free! We would run on the play ground all day, and our biggest worry was a SPELLING test on friday (that was my biggest worry). Well right now I feel free! Mark and I are in New York hanging out with some of our awesome friends and our family. We are going to be teaching our Mark Brooke Classes on Editing, lighting, and booking out your wedding year (email us for last minute class info, Mark@markbrooke.com). I am so excited to meet everyone in our classes, see the city (again for the 100th time), and jump into the water off of my grandparents dock!

I love all our blog readers! I hope your summers are awesome!!!!
