[I knew I would like Kristin and Chris' wedding a lot! How? At the rehearsal *someone* was saying "toes...toes...toes..." as she walked down the aisle in high heels. I could SO relate.]
The venue was the fantastic Villa Toscana just down the street from my house. This place really is a stunning wedding locale...wisteria and lush gardens, tuscan villas, fountains, and vineyards. Kristin and Chris' family and friends brought the loveliest parts though. Loads of flowers, all done by Kristin's step-mom. The gorgeous silk wedding dress was handmade by Kristin's grandmother. Four flavors of cake made by a close friend. Hair and make-up by a wonderful aunt. Oh...and the smiles were given freely.
So, I really wanted to get a start-to-finish sneak peek up for everyone today...but as my bedtime is approaching soon...I'm going to have to leave just a partial peek. Believe me...these are worth the wait!

I just love the photo above. Kristin and her dad clutching hands right before walking down the aisle. You should have seen me bawling during their dance together...well, those pictures tomorrow....

Woah...with just 2 hours in today left...here's a little mini-blog post. Tomorrow's wedding is at the ever lovely Villa Toscana just down the road from my house. Super cool!
Have I mentioned that I love tulips? Lots of tulips! When I saw these delivered at the rehearsal tonight, I got little goosebumps.

The week before Trisha and Julie's wedding, we had 80 degree weather and sunny in January. It was crazy beautiful. Of course, the night before the wedding I was sitting in my house listening to the rain pour down and wondering what we were going to do. Trisha and Julie had to have their rehearsal inside. It was daunting. The day didn't exactly "clear up", large looming clouds were hanging in the sky. BUT, there was a silver lining in the clouds...literally. The color of the silvery, dark clouds combined with the soft light right before twilight made for some of the most amazing portraits I have ever taken. Trisha and Julie looked so incredible, I was literally having chills and shakes while taking these shots. By the way, the setting was the lovely Cypress Ridge Golf Course Pavillion. The colors, the decor, and the smiles were awesome.
