Linda and Rob
The fun started when I saw the bride’s dress – red AND ruffled and so darn fabulous I just couldn’t stop taking pictures of it!
The "fabulous" theme was continued by Linda's two Fabulous Flower-girls. These girls took their job seriously! They coated just about every inch of the forest floor and the gazebo where the ceremony took place with a glorious carpet of red, pink and white rose-petals. The effect was nothing short of magical.
Diligent (and fabulous!) flower-girls at work:
The bride and groom take a short "hike" through the woods to reach the site of the ceremony:
The ceremony itself featured a tea ceremony and a moment of quiet contemplation in which the bride and groom sat in silence enjoying both their tea and each other:
Okay, so maybe not EVERYBODY was in the mood for quiet contemplation:
And, of course, what wedding UNDER the trees would be complete without a photo or two of the bride and groom IN a tree? Linda and Rob, you are just too awesome for words!
It seems to be a family thing, because Linda’s daughter (a.k.a. one of the Fabulous Flower-girls) decided to hang out in a tree as well:
The reception was held at Henrik Ibsen Park, off of Skyline Dr. What a great place for a party! The park offered beautiful views, a relaxed atmosphere in which people could just hang out and be themselves, and an opportunity to bring in some truly delicious catered food - which is exactly what Linda and Rob did. A tasty meal of Indian food was followed by a tableful of dessert yummies from Satura Cakes
One very scrumptious cake prepares to sacrifice itself for the greater good of all the guests:
The evening continued with toasts and dancing and lots of kids having a blast running around all over the dance floor. I especially liked this little "scarf dance" - a brief, but enjoyable performance!
Linda and Rob, Andy and I had a blast photographing your wedding - Best of luck ALWAYS to both of you!
