Favorite August Outdoor Wedding
I've always liked outdoor weddings. My parents got married beneath the pine trees at Bendix Woods, bridesmaids with yellow dresses and giant 1970s sunhats. Four years ago today Sara and I chose a country schoolhouse yard for our celebration, sun hats optional. Waiting for the ceremony to start. Smiling at family and friends from the front of the ceremony, in front →

I got my tripod, camera and a →
