In January Azzi & Rom flew me to Asmara, Eritrea to document their homecoming & wedding celebration. I stayed for 15 days and ate injera and curries for lunch, rode a bicycle out of the city into an arid landscape devoid of electricity and running water, and happily found myself lost in a city of decaying Italian architecture. I’m missing my morning greetings from grandfathers on bicycles who cheerfully called “buongiorno!” at me, and the gaggle of kids I spent my afternoons losing soccer matches to.
These two love each other, sci fi, thrash metal, vintage 45′s, Stumptown Coffee Roasters, and Paris.
On Sera’s birthday Ryan dropped to his knees and asked her to marry him on stage at a karokee bar.
He was wearing a mullet wig, skin tight spandex, and a hot pink mesh top.
She said yes, and this magical day happened.
Can’t thank you two for having me there to document all the fist pumps, first dances, and whiskey shots. Simply put: I adore you guys.
