Je vous aime Paris

As you know, Joe and I just got back from an amazing trip to France and we are literally glowing all over. It couldn't have been a better experience. A few highlights:

* Cat & Dan's beautiful wedding
* Sleeping in a sweet cottage built sometime between the 15th and 18th centuries (short window, I know)
*Mouth watering and delectable wine, cheese, bread, pasta and even seafood
*Running into two wedding celebrations in our Parisian neighborhood
*Napping in the afternoon sun under the Eiffel Tower
*Swing dancing to live jazz music in an underground bar
*Celebrating Fete de la Musiqe on the streets of the city until the wee hours of the morning
*Cheering along with hundreds of people on the banks of the Seine while people jumped in their underwear for a late night swim
*The over-sized French paintings room at the Louvre
*Watching the US football/soccer team win over Algeria in a small cafe on the outskirts of town
*Getting lost on the streets of Paris, hand-in-hand with Joe... swoon.

A few of my pics from Paris. Stay tuned for Joe's collection.

Cat & Dan's Wedding in France

Where to begin...

Cat and Dan are two amazing people filled with so much laughter and love their presence creates an atmosphere of joy in any room they enter. It could not be more obvious the connection they have between them began many, many lifetimes ago.

Joe and I consider ourselves incredibly blessed to be present for a couple like this on their wedding day, but to capture their special day in France... How lucky are we?!!

A week full of events, including their beautiful wedding, occured at the Chateau du Pin in the Loire Valley of France. The amount of work family and friends did to make this fairytale wedding happen is enormous. Last, but not least, a special shout out to Diane for doing the flowers, center pieces, arbor, invitations, menus, linens, misc. decor, (I'm sure I'm forgetting about 25 things) PLUS hair and make-up for the bride and her mother. Phew!

I think it's safe to say it was amazing experience for all who attended. Check out the first peak at their pics.
