Peru: Part 3 – Lima

Lima is actually a bit of a foodie mecca. So this post will of course feature RECIPES!!! Get excited!! I know that’s why you all stopped by today anyway!! Those promises of recipes are finally coming to fruition! The dishes they are most well known for are ceviche, pisco sours, and guinea pig (or cuy in Spanish). While I am a very adventurous, guinea pig was a bit much for me, especially as it usually comes out fried with a little veggie or fruit ‘hat.’ When you grow up with that as a pet, it’s a little hard to stomach eating one of them.

Jackie & Mike – 6.11.16

These two love birds have a very cute farm engagement story too! While making a pit stop at their dairy farm on Christmas Eve, Mike had lit up a field with a BIG, “Will you marry me?” made out of rebar and Christmas lights. How fantastic is that?!

The country rustic wedding theme was evident throughout the day. The bride and bridesmaids donned some killer cowboy boots while the groom and his party rocked some fancy looking blue jeans.

Nicole & Caleb – 5.28.16

This wedding had a few firsts for me as a wedding photographer, first tattoo ring (very freaking cool), first dog ring bearer (yeeeesss!!!), and first bride ‘almost passing out at the alter.’ No lie. And hey, I don’t blame her. It was probably the 2nd hottest day of the summer, add in some nerves, and a heavy wedding dress and boom, pass out time. Thankfully, that didn’t happen! After some water and fans everything continued to move smoothly! One of the funnier moments was in the receiving line when their grandma started heckling them, “Well I never! In all my years, I’ve never had a bride almost pass out at the alter!” Everyone laughed as hugs and kisses were shared.
