A wedding we captured just about 2 years ago has recently been featured in a relatively new wedding magazine, Your Wedding Day. This particular wedding had never been mentioned by me, nor had a video been made public because the couple wished to maintain some privacy. I'm guessing the proverbial cat is out of the bag. Kudos to the dynamic duo of Kim and Niki for their beautiful still photos.

A trip to the past

Growing up on the east coast, it was pretty easy to run into historic sites dating back to the founding fathers. I often passed by signposts saying 'George Washington Slept Here' (he got around, apparently). I didn't really appreciate these until coming out to California in 1996. History here almost always begins with the earthquake of 1906. So when I read the history of the Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club I wasn't at all surprised to find that it served as a shelter for those made homeless by the quake. But its history is much more interesting than that tidbit...worth a read and a visit.
My visit was for the purpose of Kelly and Lance's Wedding. I'm a big fan of outdoor weddings, even though they have their own unique challenges (ask Kelly about falling leaves). There is something about the outdoors that puts people at ease. This intimate gathering of friends and family was enhanced by the beautiful Indian-summer weather of Mill Valley. I did my best to capture the fun and energy of this couple while Kim and Niki were there to capture the still shots. Check out there blog for the amazing still photos! So what started as a trip to the past ended up as a glimpse into the future...I see many great years ahead for them. Cheers!
