Favorites of 2008

Here are some of my favorites from 2008. Some are nothing fancy, not technically perfect, but for some reason or another I find them to be among my favorite images. I hope you enjoys them!

Beware this post is very image heavy! Sorry... I am indecisive and can't narrow anything down to just a few... so this is what I ended up with.

Benke Wedding - The Details

Yesterday my husband and I went to my friend Dawn's Wedding. It was beautiful and I know how much goes into planning a wedding and all the hard work that goes into all the details that make it special... so I took these images of all the the details of her wedding. I didn't have my big camera so the shots are less than perfect/clear.

The wedding was held at Aldea. It is gorgeous with  Spanish-y/Tuscany architecture. 

The walkways were so pretty. It was like a little village.

The ceremony was held in the courtyard... it was decorated with lights and pink paper laterns in the trees.

The fountain was so pretty. I loved it!

The setup was great and very cozy feeling.

Once inside the ballroom... it was so classy. She had a Black and White with Hot Pink color scheme and it looked so awesome.

The cake table. It was truly amazing.

Our place cards echoed the the theme.

This was the sweetheart table for the newlyweds. Dawn painted those letters herself.

The frame they used for the sand ceremony... and the flowergirl (Dawn's little sister)... carried that little umbrella with petals in it down the aisle.
