The last Tuesdays With Nate of 2009
Tuesdays with Nate – a Year in Review

This will probably be the last Tuesday with Nate for the year…. I am aware that there is one more Tuesday, but we have a wedding that day, and I am mediocre at best when it comes to being proactive at blogging. Maybe I’ll be inspired, or post a message from the road next week, but let’s just plan on this being the last one.
So, I’m going out with a bang. This year has been insane. I’ve started several times to try to list all of the things we’ve done, but keep realizing there are things I’m forgetting, so here’s some of the highlights:
-Trips to New York City, Grand Cayman/Cozumel, San Francisco
-I was promoted at my (other) work
-We got a bunch of new business toys (camera toys)
-The official founding of “Tuesdays with Nate” happened
-We got this sweet new blog
-New (to us) Car
-New (to me) Motorcycle
-We got engaged
-We held a beginners photography clinic and loved it
-We hired the talented Jeff Newsom as our wedding photographer
-We shot 25 weddings in our 2nd year (first full calendar year)
-A photo of ours made the cover of this magazine in which we also were interviewed by the talented Jeff Kent. (Thanks Jeff!)
That’s enough horn-tooting for now, (It really is encouraging to look back and see all the things you’ve accomplished in a year. Seriously, try it yourself!) but it’s been an amazing year and those listed above are just the tip of the iceberg. And as much as I am really excited about all of those things, I am truly the most greatful for all of the cliche’ essentials, things like our families (the more I get to know Becka’s, the more I love them), my (other) job, my health and the fact that we have insurance, a roof and food, amazing friends, and that I’ve convinced the most beautiful and talented girl in the world to promise herself to me until she’s dead.
1) What do you want more of in future Tuesdays with Nate
2) When did you realize that the best part of Christmas morning was when you got to watch someone else open the present you got them, and what was it?
It’s been a great year, thanks so much for reading, commenting, visiting, and for overall being amazing.

I am in love with this!!!
Exquisite work!
There is a Tim Burton art exhibit at the MoMA right now. Not sure how long it’s there but if you’re planning a trip to NYC soon it sounds really amazing.
Ooooh I loooove these! Great shots! I loove the 4th to last. Beautiful.
great framing of the guy getting ready in front of the mirror! and the series at the end is so nice for them to be able to have. good light too :)
Beautiful shots and such a fun set of reception photos. Looks like a great day :)
p.s. The Nightmare Before Christmas is the best movie. Ever. Hehehe.
I am so excited to get to see these! These make me so excited for the rest. They are amazing and all I could have ever hoped for!!! Thanks Becka & Nate! It’s fun to get back into the Halloween spirit with all the Christmas stuff around :P
For those interested, a Frankentini consists of: 2 parts vodka; 1 part Sprite; 1 part sweet & sour mix; 1 part pineapple juice, and a splash of Blue Curacao (the amount of blue you put in determines the greenness of the drink!). You then shake the mixture together to get it opaque and slightly frothy. Let me tell you, these things were the hit of the night!! :)
LOVE IT… The flowers against the dresses… love it… I also love the three generations…. Made me tear up and all… sniff, sniff… I told you it would give you nightmares… tee hee…. The daughter and her Dad… LOVELY!!!
