randy's donuts.

the australian folks we met in line drove 20 miles from their hotel to try these acclaimed donuts. we just happened to be looking for a midnight treat when we spotted an oversized donut on a midcentury structure and knew we had to stop. not only did we get the best donuts of our lives, but we got a hug from the little australian girl who took a liking to us.

i'm ready to share some photos from yesterday's engagement shoot,
but i've got to wait for john to edit and deliver them to the anxious couple first.
