Ahh...so lovely. There is such a natural, warm glow to these images. They look so happy & their day was so beautiful. You captured it magnificently!
(11.29.11 @ 10:02 PM)Their wedding did not disappoint.
It was gorgeous, THEY were gorgeous, and the day was even more special as Dana's parents were married at the Appleford Estate 28 years ago.
Dana and Steve, you are so much fun. Thank you for making me feel like part of the family! You were welcoming and wonderful and I wish you all of the wonderful things life has to offer.
xoxo,

(11.12.11 @ 08:50 AM)Their lovely wedding took place on a small peninsula in Penn Valley, CA last month, surrounded by boats, clouds, sunshine and lots of love. Everything went off without a hitch, and I was grateful to be there to witness and be a part of their day.
