What a fun and crazy summer it's been! I've been running in and out of town-- to help care for an injured friend, to move my son to Brooklyn, to whale watch in Canada and now to catch up with old friends in the Pacific Northwest. I love how much flexibility I get with my job-- summer is pretty slow for weddings so I could take long breaks. But in between trips I returned home to perform weddings-- just last week I did five. Sure, it was warm, but we still had a great time. Now, Super Busy Season Part II is about to arrive (Part I is in the spring) and I'm already reminding myself strategies to stay well rested and fully present. Here are some pictures from recent weddings. Stay tuned for more in-depth updates, advice, and everything wedding when I return. 

Robert the DJ is super awesome. He had everything ready to go and the sound was perfect.  

Mercury Hall added a paved walkway from the chapel building out to the big trees.

Another lovely cake.

Mayfield Park-- this couple is so calm, cool and collected we didn't even feel the 100 degree heat.

But my phone confirmed that it really was 100.

I love creative centerpieces. 

Getting ready to say I Do at Umlauf Sculpture Garden.

Groom's cake. Hilarious. 

Even the flower girl got in on the photo action.

Getting the Skype ready for an Austin wedding with a Tennessee bride and Spanish groom.

I love a barefoot bride.

I also love mixed culture weddings.  

The wedding party rented an entire B&B so everyone could stay together. Great idea. 

I never tire of the Caswell House-- so classic.

So ready she got married before start time. Really.

Whoever came up with this cupcake tower idea-- thank you! 

Sand ceremony to symbolize uniting of bride, groom, and bride's daughter.  

Congratulations!
