Thursday, August 20, 2009

Lizzy and Ryan, I love your wedding photos! You guys had such a gorgeous wedding at the Memorial Art Gallery – such a beautiful and unique venue. Your reception was full of energy, excitement and moments of sweet surprise. I even got talked in to having my pic taken (with my own camera) by table #12 I believe it was – you gotta keep your eye on that gang :) A big thanks to you both for including me in your day. I look forward to hearing from you after you return from your honeymoon!
