another sweet one!

This past weekend, my very sweet friend Izabella walked down the isle. It was a special day to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. Here are a few of the shots I snapped before and after the wedding.

Our Maine squeeze! (Honeymoon in Old Orchard Beach)

Well we did it, it finally happened... The months of planning, which were more fun in the beginning BTW, the long days of errands, and the sleepless nights of worry culminated into a single day of bliss. We got married!!!! The day was beautiful and remains somehow perfect in our minds. I tried hard to not let the so called "blur" come over me that day.... I kept hearing it would happen and I wouldn't remember a thing. The first part of the day before and during the ceremony was still. Almost a sacredness I felt, as my closest friends helped to dress me and make up to be a bride. The photographs captured our colors, our expressions, and excitement... but I'm somehow grateful that they didn't... they couldn't... grab the stillness in those moments.

The fuzziness didn't make itself manifest until the reception, where the hundreds of faces and emotions came pouring in. It was sacred, and I feel a peaceful warmth each time I play back those moments.
The real reason I'm writing this however, is to share some of the photographs from our honeymoon. The trip took us somewhere around 18 hours. It really was surprising to see the contrast between life in Kentucky and life on the coast of Maine . I normally don't post this many photos at once, but I like each one so individually, its hard to make the cut!



We found a certain architectural antique store. With 3 floors of things like this, you can imagine it was hard for us to leave!
