We couldn’t have asked for better photos. Carlo is an amazing photographer– and this isn’t even his full-time job! Visit his site here to find out a bit more about him (most of the portfolio is password-protected, but you can see some of his other photos on my journal).

Hi Judy!!!
Thank you for the well wishes! 🙂 We wanted to send you an invite (though we figured you wouldn’t be able to come) but weren’t sure how to reach you. 😦 Come back to CA and we’ll meet up! 🙂
The shindig really did turn out perfectly. I wouldn’t have changed a thing, except for bringing a sun hat to the picnic! For all the stressing and arguments/”discussions” (with parents as well as with Erik to a lesser degree), everything was just the way we wanted it and we couldn’t be happier. 🙂
The necklace is from Indulgems. The designer hand-makes every piece and all her jewelry is really pretty! You should check her out. 🙂
Wow
Congratulations on the wedding.
Everyone looks really good.
Re: Wow
