AMMIH Engagement PhotosRF Photography was the official photographer for our wedding. We were introduced to Frank sometime in August of 2008. In early September we had the pleasure of having him take our engagement photos. They turned out amazing and are by far the best pictures of Psycho and I.

Although we had been together for over three years, we had very few photos together and even fewer good ones. Thanks to Frank that is no longer the case. He was very easy to work with and completely open to all the shots we wanted to take with our Legendary Halo Head, which happen to be my favorite shots.

RF Photography was started over 15 years ago in Orlando. The naming of RF Photography is a easy one. ‘R’ for Roxanne (wife and boss) and ‘F’ for Frank (primary photographer). Frank received his first camera at the age of 13 and it was love at first sight. He immediately immersed himself into photography. He worked at several camera stores to support his ‘habit’ and photographed his first wedding at the age of 18. He worked in photography his whole life in one aspect or another. From hand printing color portraits for a studio outside of San Francisco to custom B&W printing for labs in southern California.

Our wedding photos were just as beautiful as the engagement shots. Frank was able to capture great photos of everyone at the wedding. Family and friends (curious Halo fans too!) are able to order prints of the wedding directly from the RF Photography website. I’ve conveniently set up the domain name DesiraiAndJohn.com to go straight to the images. Sadly, they will only be available for purchase online until March 30th. Please make sure to order your prints if you haven’t done so already.

Official Wedding PhotosOver the next few weeks, I will be using Frank’s photos to personally thank each vendor. Thank you RF photography for providing us amazing photos of our extremely unique and special day.

Full Sail BTS 03/28/09Things have changed quite a bit since the wedding. Psycho and I have been playing Halo more often. We’re also beginning to discover how deep the Halo rabbit hole really goes. There are so many Halo 3 forums and communities but we were referred to one in particular, Facility B5D. It was named after the ONI Ordnance Testing Facility B5D in Swanbourne, Perth of Western Australia where they designed and tested the Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/S variant and the Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/R variant for the Spartan-IIs.

We’ve made several new friends which we’ve been playing with regularly, one of whom is graphic designer and B5D Moderator x Awal x. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking to x Awal x about graphic design and where I received my degree. After hearing all the good things I had to say about Full Sail, he decided to attend a Behind The Scenes tour.

PsychoVandal and I met up with x Awal x at the end of his tour to see what he thought. He was extremely excited. So will I be bumping into x Awal x in the Full Sail corridors anytime soon? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Game Over? NEVER!

I realize it may seem as if we were done blogging. It may seem as though we’ve given up, as if there were no longer a story to tell. You’re wrong.

Could have used one of these. What you may not know is that for the last month there has been a dark sinister cloud raining on us. It seems as though it has been just one bad thing after another. It started with a double wammy GT mishap, then everyone suffering from allergies and the flu, followed by our apartment (our more specifically our ENTIRE bedroom) getting flooded, and after a visit to the doctors we were informed that Psycho’s liver is unhappy. Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it? It is. Sad but True.

After running a second round of blood tests and completing an ultrasound we’re no closer to finding out what’s wrong. Gotta love modern medicine. We’re hoping to know more within the next week or so.

In the meantime, and in between wishes us well, just be aware the blogging will continue. Thanks for the support.
