We married in 2005.</p> 665 <p class="fmp-pullline">Our cameras have been with us the whole way. On trails, at overlooks, in the rain, and at more than 750 moments when someone dropped to one knee.</p> 666 <p>Two decades later we still live the way we started: outside, together, paying attention. That is the eye we bring to your proposal, your elopement, or your wedding day.
