Celebrating 2 Year Anniversary |Northrop Theater Ingrid Michaelson | Personal

In celebration of our wedding anniversary Marcus and I spent our weekend across the river in Minneapolis. 
On our acualy anniversary day we spent a nice home cooked dinner at home. I tried to be all fancy with long candles but failed misserably when within the first 5 minutes both ended up cracked and broken on the floor, very much like the romantic feel i wanted for them. I improvised and we had short little candles at out dinnner table!  I also tried a Raspberry Mousse recipe I located on Pinterest. Everything was absolutley delicous. 

Friday night we went sit and listen to Ingrid Michaelson at the Northrop Theater. Before the show we had dinner at the Union rooftop. I had seen photos and it was finally our turn to part take of it! Even better we enjoyed out dinner as the sun was setting! Ingrid is one singer song writer that speaks to my soul on so many levels! Marcus and I's song is her cover of "Can't Help Falling In Love." It was one of my favorite moments of our entire weekend. 

 

Lastly we spent Saturday morning walking with Riverview Food Tours with Kevin as our guide! 
As we walked round to different restaurants by the river he told us all about the sinigicants to each spot to the Minneapolis area. We had a cookie from the Salty Tart at the farmers Market, a spring roll and chicken and rice dish from  Sawatdee, Cheese bread and Spagetti from Old Spagetti Factory, Cheese curds from Tuggs Tavern, and lastly gelato from Wilde Roast Cafe.
My favorite dish was the Spring roll which I had always wanted to try and Marcus really enjoyed the spagetti! It was something we had never done and were able to enjoy together! 
 
It was the best weather to be walking all around the area and totally worth it!

Lens Review | Micro-Nikkor 105mm F/2.8G

 

This year I was blessed enough to upgrade my 60mm Macro to the Nikon 105mm Macro for my ring shots on my wedding days!! 

After being so used to my 60mm, I have found getting used to the 105 a little challenging!
It's a bulky and heavy when I shoot details, which I was not expecting. My goal in upgrading was getting a lens that I could not only get crisper photos but with the 105 focal length I am also able to use it for portraiture or candids. The lens's versatility this season has been especially useful when shooting with my second shooter! With the focal length of 105 I have used it durning ceremony shooting. 
I have noticed how crisp my ring shots have become which has been a good update from my other lens!  Overall I have enjoyed this new addition to my Nikon army!
