Hey friends! I’m out of the country visiting my twin sister Kelly in Germany.  YAY!!!  It’s been slightly chilly but completely FANTASTIC.  Does it get better than fairy tale castles, german beer, large hunks of pork, and medieval chastity belts?  I’m not sure…but I am heading to PARIS next and I have a good feeling about it.  :)  I’ll be spreading the Rivets and Roses love ALL around the world!

Here are a few shots I’ve taken with my iPhone using Instagram.  Most of the images I took yesterday in Rothenburg and the Bavarian part of Germany…and the infamous Neuschwanstein!   I carry my big Canon with my most places when I travel, but sometimes it’s nice just to snap a quick shot with my iPhone so I can share it almost instantly.  Find and follow me on Instagram or my more personal Facebook photography page.  —->  Onward to Prague for a day trip then France and Norway. Have any tips? : )  CHEERS.

These two started dating when they were in 11th GRADE.  Through it all – college, long distance dating, and more they stayed strong.  They’re also two of the coolest cats in town.  They were married in the beautiful big church at St. Kates here in St.Paul.   It was an ABSOLUTE BLAST photographing their wedding here in the Twin Cities. Cheers!

Prince Edward Island to be exact! The adorable little Island in Canada where Anne of Green Gabels comes from. : ) I can’t tell you how fabulous it is to see two people SO IN LOVE and two people who make each other the best person they can be. Rachel and Matt are these people. I was correct in expecting a lot of tears at this wedding…tears of JOY of course…but yes, they did last about all day. (That’s ‘about’ with a Canadian accent.) Their love overflows and reaches everyone they know and meet. It was very clear how incredible these two are and how awesome their families are.

Twin sister Kelly and I jammed all my gear into her Honda and we drove from Washington D.C. to Prince Edward Island. We spent an incredible 3 days at a beautiful home on the red sand beaches. Let me tell you, Island life is freeeeking shweet. Thank you to both the Cutcliffe and Harper families! You made us feel like family. : )
