Pico Ski adventure | Just for kicks...
Had a great time over the weekend up in Killington, VT at Pico mountain. It was our first time skiing this season so excuse the photos taken with my Samsung phone, I wasn't quite confident enough to break out the real camera...yet. So much fun hanging out with new friends, chowing down on good food and the only complaint is learning the hard way that the Mazda CX5 sucks in the snow without snow tires. Live and learn :) I guess we have to embrace the 'snowpocalypse' for a little while longer.

Random Friday | Montana Rodeo Day 1
Random Friday | Montana Rodeo Day 1
Ok, well maybe not completely random, but I thought it would be nice to mix it up a bit and have Friday on the Garnick Moore Photographers Blog be a little different. Of course we'll still be posting our amazing weddings, engagement shoots, commercial and event photography the rest of the week but maybe Fridays are casual on the blog. Might be different every week, who knows, it might get crazy. A little Fine Art, a little travel, a little more about Theresa and I, our life, our adventures...
So for the first installment, on this crazy snowy day we're going back, not quite a year ago, to Montana. Yes, Montana. Theresa and I took this great trip out, to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, then to the Grand Tetons, then to Yellowstone and lastly to the little town of Wilsall Montana, where Theresa has some family. We planned it perfectly, if I do say so myself, so we would be in Wilsall for their annual Spring rodea. It was SO cool. Growing up in suburbia MA we didn't exactly have things like cow wrestling and horse and bull riding. I mean close but not exactly like that. It was a totally new experience and I loved it. I'll talk more about the Jackson Hole, Grand Teton and Yellowstone parts in another post but for today it will be day one of the rodeo. To set the scene, sunshine, warm with a cool breeze, beer early in the day and the smell of, well you know...animals.
Thanks for checking out our work.

Tree Hunting Adventure | Hopestill Farm, Sherborn
Tree Hunting Adventure | Hopestill Farm, Sherborn, MA
Growing up in CA, Theresa and her family always used to go out to a tree farm and find the perfect tree and cut it themselves. Kind of like that scene in Christmas Vacation but without the snow (they don't know snow in Sebastopol). On the opposite end of the spectrum, growing up my family used to harvest our tree out of the attic and match up the appropriate branches with the spots on the pole. Yes, slightly different traditions. Needless to say, we've taken up her family's method and always hunt down our perfect tree and cut it ourselves. It's a fun day out and helps to get us in the holiday spirit early. Here's a few shots I made from the day (click on any of them to see a larger view):
I also decorated some, but I decided to go with a more R-rated theme so probably not appropriate to post here. They tasted just as good.

| I may have been distracted from the hunt because of all the cool looking birch trees. |

| Nothing caps off a day off like sugar cookies! Oh yeah. |

| Yes that is Theresa decorating with a tooth pick, extreme detail. |

Boston Wedding Photographers | The Power of a Goal
Boston Wedding Photographers | The Power of a Goal
So I made the mistake of telling Theresa that our hometown, Ashland, was having their first 5k and half-marathon this year. This was months ago and I was simply giving out information but she thought I was suggesting we run it and responded with an enthusiastic, "yeah let's do that!" And with that we started to get back in running shape. We ran our first half-marathon together back in 2009 I believe, the San Diego half. A move cross-country and getting our business cranking on the East coast, well the long distance running had fallen to the wayside. That's were the motivation and power of having a goal kicked in and having a little friendly competition of who was running the farthest. We use this Runkeeper app, http://runkeeper.com/, and that way we can keep track of our own time, pace, route, etc. but also get updates on what each other did. Pretty cool.
But back to the Ashland Half-marathon. So if you didn't know the Boston Marathon originally started in Ashland, from 1897 to 1924, but was moved to Hopkinton when the distance was changed to be the same as the Olympic standard (there's your little bit of history today). And what was also pretty cool is that Bill Rodgers, Boston running legend, was at the half-marathon that morning and ran it too. I was able to keep up with him for the first 3 miles and then well let's just say he lost me. Here's a quick shot Theresa grabbed on her iphone seconds before the race started.

San Francisco Bay Sailing Adventure | Destination Wedding Photographers
It's not often that Theresa really makes plans, especially when we're on a trip. She's more on the no-plan plan, priorities being sun, pool time, a book and of course a frosty beverage. But when she makes plans, she usually knocks it out of the park and this time was no exception. She's been getting more into sailing through one of the boat clubs on the Charles in Boston but chartering a 44 ft sailboat for all her west coast family to get together was pretty brilliant. Perfect excuse to hang out, bring snacks and good wine. And it's not everyday most of us get to sail under the Golden Gate Bridge. Here's a few of my favorites from the day (clink on any of them to get a larger view).
