I hope that everyone is enjoying this season as much as we are. Jessica is off school for 2 weeks, my sisters are home and there's nothing to do for a few days. I hope that everyone is spending time with family and friends this week and remembering what's truly important in life. <br /><br />Jess and I won't be working (or blogging) much for the next week...we're taking it easy together. So have a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and a Happy Holidays! We're grateful for everyone who reads this and supports us and we can't wait for the upcoming year.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Oy38TNiJruU/SVPnoT_V_iI/AAAAAAAABxs/UfehosbMol0/s1600-h/Front.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 295px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Oy38TNiJruU/SVPnoT_V_iI/AAAAAAAABxs/UfehosbMol0/s400/Front.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283821467582463522" /></a>Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10991487051728845104noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628285663555844092.post-55077435173060552132008-12-16T13:52:00.000-08:002008-12-16T14:27:26.995-08:00Thanks!This past year has been so amazing for me and Jessica; and one of the big reasons are the 19 amazing couples who have allowed us to be a part of their lives. We certainly wouldn't be where we are today without their support and their trust in us. We've put together a recap slideshow with some of our favorite images from each of their weddings. <br /><br />I realize I haven't blogged the last two weddings yet...I'm waiting for our new blog which should be ready by the end of the year. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.andrewandjessica.com/thanks">Please click here to be taken to the slideshow.</a>Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10991487051728845104noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628285663555844092.post-36891409171366559342008-12-05T21:25:00.001-08:002008-12-05T21:32:43.340-08:00Where have I been?I apologize for the lack of posting lately...I know that some of you hang on my every word (which if that's actually true than I feel special.) But seriously I've been quite busy lately. We've had two weddings the last two weekends, I've been out hunting and we spent Thanksgiving week with our family. I'm also having a brand new blog that's being built by the great people at <a href="http://www.flosites.com">Flosites</a> and should hopefully be done very soon.<br /><br />I've got two amazing weddings to blog about but I just might wait and save those for the new blog. Sorry. I've got quite a few interesting topics that I want to explore in my next few posts and I definitely want some comments and feedback from everyone who reads this.<br /><br />Until then here's a few pictures of our ridiculously cute nephews from last week...<br /><br />Jessica is playing Honey Bee Tree with Taylor.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/thanksgiving005.jpg"><img style="display:block;

We'll be gone for the weekend but of course I'll have pictures when we get back. I won't be updating the blog over the weekend but you can follow us either on Facebook (if we're friends) or through <a href="http://twitter.com/andyschaef">Twitter</a>. I'm just trying Twitter so I'll do my best to keep it updated; make sure to check those both out if you're interested. <br /><br />Our new blog is right around the corner and it's going to have some cool features (like facebook and twitter integration) so I'm anxious for everyone to try those out and see if it's worthwhile. I have a few ideas as to how I'll make them useful and worth your time so make sure to check back. <br /><br />I hope everyone has a great weekend and I'll update soon!Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10991487051728845104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628285663555844092.post-79240132372806899622008-11-19T22:43:00.000-08:002008-11-19T22:47:21.800-08:00Go out and buy 1 or 2 or 5 of these right now!Two weekends ago our hot water heater went out and produced a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide in our home. Luckily we were gone so nothing happened to us. I had a major issue with XCEL Energy which I'll talk more about later but the moral of the story is go out and spend some money on carbon monoxide detectors for your home. Put one near your gas appliances and definitely in your bedroom. It's a colorless, odorless gas that can kill you. As the XCEL worker told me "you don't want to wake up dead."<br /><br />Seriously though if you don't have them in your home please make it a priority to go out and buy a few of them.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10991487051728845104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628285663555844092.post-78896990496956601082008-11-11T18:59:00.000-08:002008-11-11T19:25:39.154-08:00Julia and Greg are married!Jessica and I were lucky enough to travel to Omaha for Julia and Greg's amazing wedding. They had it at the <a href="https://www.omahabotanicalgardens.org/">Lauritzen Botanical Gardens</a> and everything was just perfect. We had never met Julia and Greg until their wedding day but that didn't make the slightest difference because they were so inviting and such genuine people. They had a gift basket waiting for us at the hotel and we were invited to the day after BBQ at Julia's dads house. We feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to meet and get to know Julia and Greg; they are incredibly conscious people and they made sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of. Here's a few of our favorites...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/schaffer0005.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Jessica was one of Holly's bridesmaids and we've known Jon and Holly for about 7 years. Jess and Holly were roommates in college and Jon lived on the same floor as I did (Newsom 1SW.) <br /><br />It's always extra special when you see two close friends get married and we were so happy to capture the excitement and the emotion of their wedding day.<br /><br />Here's a few, actually a bunch, of our favorites...<br /><br />Betty was one of the bridesmaids and one of our good friends.

I'm definitely ready for the election to be over but I'm excited for the new president to take over and to see what he can do. If you don't vote today or haven't even registered to vote, well shame on you for not taking advantage of that responsibility and right that we all have. If you did vote, than good for you. I dropped off our ballots yesterday, we voted absentee because the Colorado ballot was incredibly large. Numerous amendments, refernedums, presidential candidates, judges and congresspeople. <br /><br />I guess by the end of the night we will know who our next president is. As I'm writing this on Monday night I do believe it will be Obama. And I am intrigued to see the direction our country will go with him at the helm. I struggled with who to vote for. I like (and dislike) many things about both candidates; so it was a tough decision. In the end I made my decision based on a lot of reading, research and time spent pondering my own beliefs and how they matched up with the two candidates.<br /><br />I feel good about the decision(s) I made and the candidates I chose. I feel even better about the fact that I made the effort to vote. So who do you think will win and who did you vote for?<br /><br />I'll leave you with a quote from the immortal Dan Quayle...“This election is about who's going to be the next President of the United States!”<br /><br />I couldn't have said it better myself.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10991487051728845104noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628285663555844092.post-5381267450206603162008-10-31T15:46:00.000-07:002008-10-31T15:51:50.611-07:00Happy Halloween!It's starting to get dark so we should start getting some trick or treaters soon. Which is good because I've eaten way too much candy in the past few days (I knew I should have waited until today to buy all of our candy.) This will be the warmest Halloween (75 degrees today) in Colorado since the 1950's so I'm sure there will be tons of kids out tonight. Have a great night and don't eat too much candy...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/pumpkins003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 533px; height: 800px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/pumpkins003.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Here's a few pumpkins we (and Heather and Ben) carved a few days ago...Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10991487051728845104noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628285663555844092.post-87237805622555447042008-10-25T17:35:00.000-07:002008-10-25T17:46:44.232-07:00Who's ready for November 4th?I have to say that I'm ready for November 4th and for the election to be over. I'm ready to stop being bombarded with TV commercials and junk mail and all the lying and negativity of ALL the campaigns. I'm ready to move on and get past the election. I'm ready for the new president (whether it be McCain or Obama) to take office and start making good on all the promises (yeah right.) <br /><br />I do believe the election season is an interesting time though. People who never follow politics become passionately involved. Seemingly intelligent people take completely closed minded positions on candidates and issues. Candidates who promised no negative ads create only negative ads. <br /><br />I do think elections are critically important to our countries future and the individual voter is the most important aspect of that. I think everyone should vote. I don't care who you're voting for or if you're a Democrat or Republican. You absolutely need to vote. It's an incredibly important right and privilege that we have and everyone should take advantage of it. Take some time and read up on the candidates, keep an open mind, check out websites like <a href="http://www.factcheck.org">factcheck.org</a> and make an educated and informed decision. <br /><br />And you can also head over to my friend <a href="http://imfromcanada.blogspot.com">Jon's blog</a> and read up on the 16 different candidates running for president. Yes that's right there are 16 different named presidential candidates. Check out <a href="http://imfromcanada.blogspot.com">his site</a> for a slightly humorous and unbiased review of all the different candidates. He'll be posting about them for the next 10 days and then will have a poll at the end.<br /><br />So have you decided who you're voting for? Because I haven't.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10991487051728845104noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628285663555844092.post-14685457818598833082008-10-20T19:07:00.000-07:002008-10-20T19:30:09.252-07:00Cale and Dorothy are married!Cale and Dorothy had one of the most amazing weddings we've been to a few weeks ago up in the mountains. Cale's parents have some property in Silt, CO and it was the perfect place for their ceremony and reception. What was so great about their wedding is that it was totally them. They were incredibly relaxed the whole day and only had one intention...to have a great party and a great time. They definitely succeeded. They got ready together, his groomsman wore jeans (and his brother had a beer as she walked down the aisle) they incorporated Dorothy's Polish roots into the wedding and they got cake up their nose. All in all a great time.<br /><br />Thanks Cale and Dorothy for making us feel so invited on your wedding day and we know you are going to live a long and happy life together. Here's a few of our favorites from the day...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/fogel0001.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Our aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion."-<a href="http://blogactionday.org/">Blog Action Day Website</a>.<br /><br />I won't pretend to be an expert on poverty (because I'm not) and I certainly don't have the answers to even begin solving the problem. I do know that poverty is a world wide problem from developing countries in Africa to the guy on the street corner in your neighborhood. You probably don't have to look very far to see someone living in poverty. <br /><br />There's probably thousands of ways to help people in poverty; from donating money, to working at a homeless shelter, to smiling at the guy on the street corner with a cardboard sign. <br /><br />There's a great organization by the name of <a href="http://www.kiva.org">Kiva</a> that is helping people all across the world. They have a very cool model that I think would be appealing to many people. You feel like your're truly helping someone make their life better. Take some time to read through their website and see if it's something you'd be interested in donating to.<br /><br />But remember there are many ways that you can make a small difference on the fight against poverty. Take some time to think outside of your own life and your own daily schedule to help another person.<br /><br />"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat. "-Mother Teresa<br /><br /><a href="http://blogactionday.org"><img border="0" src="http://blogactionday.org/img/006bd82f88b6253576508eac6b203d6e1bc8b0e9.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><script src="http://blogactionday.org/js/006bd82f88b6253576508eac6b203d6e1bc8b0e9"></script>Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10991487051728845104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628285663555844092.post-63935984088366046872008-10-11T11:23:00.000-07:002008-10-11T11:23:00.908-07:00Lori and Doug are getting married...We went out to Wash Park in Denver with Doug and Lori last week and got some amazing light for their engagement pictures.

We're really excited for Julia and Greg's wedding and we've been enjoying traveling around a little bit for weddings. We'll be out of town through the weekend and in the next few weeks I've got a bunch of things to blog about. Thanks to everyone who reads this, I really appreciate it.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10991487051728845104noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628285663555844092.post-46182938069902332572008-10-03T15:05:00.000-07:002008-10-03T15:05:00.892-07:00Matt and Marisa's Wedding in Grand Teton National Park...A few weeks ago Jessica and I photographed our first destination wedding and we couldn't have gone to a better place. We drove up to Grand Teton National Park for Marisa and Matt's wedding and it was amazing. We stayed in a great little cabin at the lodge where the reception was and we had time to drive through Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Jackson Hole. It was certainly different than photographing a wedding in Denver or even Colorado because we were so far away. But we also got to spend more time with Matt and Marisa and their families. Which was wonderful because they were so inviting (Matt's mom makes great biscuits and gravy) and because we truly were able to see what makes Matt and Marisa the great couple they are.<br /><br />We really love getting to know all the couples we work with and creating a great relationship with them and we always love meeting their families at the wedding. So spending an entire weekend with them really made our trip and our job that much more enjoyable. I know I posted a few images recently but here's a few more of our favorites...<br /><br />Coors light and pocket knives are really all it takes for the groom to get ready before the wedding.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/ruder0001.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I've actually never been to Yellowstone or Grand Teton so I was very excited to spend some time in the parks. We really only scratched the surface of what is there, we didn't even have time to see Old Faithful erupt. I was amazed at the size of the parks and how the Teton mountains really just shoot up from the valley floor. All I really wanted to see was a grizzly bear and we were lucky enough to see one. Jess wanted to see a moose but we never did (so we definitely need to go back.)<br /><br />I wasn't surprised about the number of people or development that was going on. Huge lodges, restaurants and gift shops. But there was still something cool about being in Yellowstone Park. I definitely want to go back and really explore more of the remote areas of the park. Here's a few pictures from the day...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton001.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton002.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton002.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton004.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton004.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton003.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton005.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton006.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton006.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton007.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton007.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton009.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton009.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton008.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton008.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton010.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton011.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton011.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton012.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton012.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton014.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton014.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton013.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton013.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton015.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/teton015.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />And of course the grizzly bear.

But in actuality they are only about halfway to my grandparents who today are celebrating 60 years of marriage. That's right 60 years together through all the ups and downs, the good times and the hardships, the lost child the 15 grandchildren. 60 years is so amazing and really I have no comprehension of how long that is. I've only been alive 26 years and married for 3; but I hope and pray that Jessica and I can celebrate our 60th anniversary together.<br /><br />I know I mentioned it a few days ago but I will say it again; there are few things that are more important than marriage. Choosing to love someone forever and spending your entire life with them can make your life incredible and make you happier than you can ever know. <br /><br />When I look at my grandparents and see them smile and see them helping each other remember where they put their sunglasses (or dark glasses as my grandma says) and see them spending their days together it helps to remind me what is truly important in our lives. When I see them at church together and wrapping Christmas presents or tending their garden or preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for 35 by themselves I'm reminded how important and sacred life is. <br /><br />I know that they won't be with us forever (none of us are) so I visit and just sit and talk with them and lately I've tried to take more pictures of them. So please go out and take pictures of loved ones and tell them how much you love them...(thanks <a href="http://www.zarias.com">Zack</a> for some great inspiration for this.)<br /><br />My grandparents surprisingly have a pretty nice wedding album which again reminds me of the importance of what Jessica and I do. Here's a few of the two of them from 60 years ago and a few taken more recently...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary01.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary02.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary02.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary04.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary04.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary03.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary03.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10991487051728845104noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628285663555844092.post-60396465440192632772008-09-11T08:00:00.000-07:002008-09-11T08:00:01.044-07:00Happy Anniversary Mom and DadToday my parents are celebrating their 32nd anniversary (yes their anniversary is actually September 11th.) I can say without a doubt that my parents are the two biggest role models in my life; they always have been and always will be. What they have done together is truly amazing and to be happier and more in love now than in 1976 is really something incredible. Unfortunately I don't think marriage has the same importance today that it did when they were married so we feel so lucky to have two people we can look up to that have a solid marriage and life built on what is truly important. <br /><br />I know for a fact that my parents have given me the ability to be a successful person. They pushed me when necessary (thanks Dad) they always loved and supported me and they gave me the confidence and faith to know that I can become whatever I want. I think those are probably the most important things a parent can do and they did it so well. I can honestly say that I've never met two more amazing people or parents in my whole life (of course I'm biased but I really do believe this.) Seeing their strong marriage and life together is so encouraging and it gives me and Jessica something to aspire to.<br /><br />I could write pages and pages about the things they have done and how much I love them and how amazing they are but I will leave at this...I love you Mom and Dad.<br /><br />They have very few pictures from their own wedding, which reminds me how important our job actually is. But here are a few of them 32 years ago and a few taken just a few months ago...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary05.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary05.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary06.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary06.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary08.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary08.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary07.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/anniversary07.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10991487051728845104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628285663555844092.post-7636437733518447382008-09-08T10:50:00.000-07:002008-09-08T13:16:44.910-07:00I love this time of year...I'm quite certain that this time of year is my favorite and there are a few reasons. First the weather is changing-the 95 degree days are in the past and we are getting those nice crisp nights back. In fact it's only about 55 degrees right now as I write this. Football season started this weekend and the Broncos (who will be 13-3 this year) play their first game tonight. I love football and the NFL season. I also took the plunge this year and joined my first (and second) fantasy football leagues. I got killed in both of them this week but I think I'll get better.<br /><br />I also love this time of year because that means hunting season has started. I first went hunting with my dad when I was 5 years old and I've gone hunting every year since then. I love getting out into the mountains and spending some quiet time reflecting on the last year of my life and where the next year will take me. I love spending time with my dad and learning about everything from family to business from him. I love working up a sweat hiking up out of a canyon and I love laying in my sleeping bag at night listening to elk bugling only hundreds of yards away. And nothing matches the adrenaline rush of a 1,000 pound bull elk standing 8 feet away from me and bugling in my face. <br /><br />Those of you who know me know how important hunting is to me. For those of you who don't know me as well I want to share this aspect of my life because it is so important. My dad and I spent 6 nights in the wilderness this last week so I wanted to share some of the pictures with you. I will continue sharing stories with you about my hunting trips over the next few months so that hopefully you can get a better understanding of how important it is to me. <br /><br />In the meantime here are a few of the pictures from the week...<br /><br />This was our view the first day and night...fog and rain.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/hunting001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/hunting001.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />This was our view the next 6 days...sunshine and blue skies.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/hunting002.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/hunting002.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Not one of the aspen trees have changed yet.

I always love when a wedding completely fits the personality of the couple. Mara and Dylan had a great blue grass band that played the reception, their ceremony was outside and there were people playing frisbee in the background (it couldn't have been more perfect.) I've been friends with Mara since college so it was awesome to see here completely happy and she and Dylan are a perfect match. There was a lot of laughter (I mean a lot of it) and a few tears, some serious dancing and overall just a great time. Thanks Mara and Dylan for letting us spend the day with you and we wish you the best of luck. And by the way here are a few of our favorites...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/towne001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/towne001.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/towne002.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px;" src="http://www.schaeferphotography.net/towne002.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />I love the difference between their vows.

For anyone who hikes, or runs or just sweats a lot you know the importance of a great shirt. I certainly don't make a habit of spending that much money on a single piece of clothing but the <a href="https://www.smartwool.com/default.cfm">Smartwool</a> shirts are worth every penny of that. And if you don't own any of their socks you absolutely need to do your feet a favor and buy some. So there's my product recommendation of the week or month or however often I will recommend a product.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10991487051728845104noreply@blogger.com0
