Megan + Tyler | Idaho Elopement

Megan and Tyler traveled to Idaho from California for their elopement. As soon as they sent me the location for their elopement, I was excited. I had never been to this exact spot before, but from Google Maps, I knew that even just getting there was going to be an adventure, one on dirt and snow packed roads, up in the mountains behind Boise. I wasn’t disappointed. Well actually I would’ve liked more snow, but the cabin they rented was literally the very highest one on the mountain. I scouted the area, with elopements I’m usually the one who gets to choose the ceremony location. The hill rose another hundred or so feet above the cabin, so I climbed up the slippery slope, and loved the view with mountains surrounding us on all sides. I checked with Megan to make sure she was alright climbing the slick hill in her wedding dress, and she was more than happy to. We probably only traveled two hundred or so feet during the entirety of this shoot, but we were still able to get such varied looks by varying the light, positioning and direction we were facing. I’ll let the photos tell the rest of the story.

Thank you Megan and Tyler for trusting me to photograph your wedding, and thanks for the adventure.

Best SD Card Reader | Materialism Monday

If you know me, you know how stoked out of my mind I am about beautiful design. I love the quote by Thomas J Watson “Good design, is good business”, and I really believe that’s true. If you know me, you also know that I love efficiency it’s part of how I’ve been able to run my business and do the volume of work that I’ve done. I have a couple photographers

So, it’s Materialism Monday, and the product that I’m real stoked on that’s bringing both beauty and efficiency into my life is the Uni SD Card Reader. Heres’ what I love about it:

  1. It’s freaking beautiful, take a look at it below.

  2. It’s well built, it’s metal, me likes metal.

  3. It matches my Macbook Pro perfectly (AESTHETICS MATTER!!!!!!! (screaming))

  4. It’s USB-C, so it connects directly to my Macbook Pro, no dongles required.

  5. It’s FAST, very fast, much faster than my other crappy SD card reader.

  6. It’s only $15.

Here’s what I don’t love about it:

  1. I don’t like that the SD card has to go in upside down. This does not matter at all, but for some reason it bugs me :). This has zero to do with functionality, and the reader is still amazing.

Have I tested a lot of SD Card Readers? I’ve had and used lots of them over the years, but I think this is the best because of the balance of quality and price, I’d honestly be happy paying double the cost of this reader.

Ok, here’s my video review of it, and photos are below. If you want to buy it, here’s the Amazon Link through my Amazon Shop (I do receive a small commission off of all purchases made, just to be honest and upfront, especially since my business moto is “Telling Honest Stories” :)).
