Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? I see a Telephone Singing to Me!

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Joelle’s sister lives in Jerusalem, and when we visited last year, she introduced us to “Brown Bear“, her favorite story that she reads to Joelle’s niece, Rina, nearly every night – it’s got a nice rhythmic sound to it, and it’s quite soothing. So once Aviva was born, we of course wanted her to share their favorite story, even though they can’t be together in person. So a quick phone call later, this is the video we were able to make:

“It was a wonderful surprise…”

Friday, September 14th, 2007

“There are certain things you expect at weddings: white dresses, vows, rings, cake, dancing. But every now and then I’ll photograph a wedding that has something unexpected in it, and Joelle and Aaron’s wedding was one of them. It was a wonderful surprise from the bride for her groom.”- Eliza Truitt, 2007

Our wedding photographer often blogs about her past photo shoots, and she asked us earlier in the week if it was okay to write up our wedding. We of course agreed, and after getting online for the first time after taking a few days off-line in honor of Rosh Hashana, Joelle noticed that she had posted an article up over the holiday.

She primarily focused on Joelle’s major surprise to me – which, as Eliza stated, was wonderful – for most people we talk to, it was the primary memorable moment of the ceremony, and well deserving of that honor… but Eliza also covered many of the key moments and photos of our wedding – thanks for the great pictures and post, Eliza!
