The last 6 days I’ve been in California where I squeezed a mini-vacation in between photographing the marriage of Ruth and Jeff at the St. Innocent Orthodox Church in Eureka.

I first met Ruth and Jeff in college, where we had printmaking and art history courses together. They are amazing artists with a unique outlook, so I was ecstatic when they asked me to come down for their wedding. They had such a beautiful ceremony – my first Greek Orthodox wedding, as well as my first indoor ceremony, in fact.

I shot so much (they had a killer reception in McKinleyville!) that I don’t even know where to begin! Hopefully it won’t be long before I can share this lovely day with you all, till then these are just two diptychs that caught my eye as I did the initial sweep.

Oh yay! My boyfriend and I visit your blog because you take such pretty pictures (well, and because we’re also food-and-drink-loving Giants fans living in Portland with CSU art degrees and a soft spot for cats), but I know Ruth and Jeff and was kind of hoping to see pictures of their wedding. Somehow I never guessed that might be what you headed down to Humboldt for.

Now this is just eerie! We should really consider meeting up for a bite/drink/game sometime – something tells me we’d all get along just great. ;)

Yeah, I think we might be in the same karass. I have no social skills, myself, but my boyfriend (Erik) says, “Ooh, when are we meeting our new friends?”

I love what Jeff wore! I’ve never seen it done and oh how I admire originality. (It probably has been done but since I’m unaware of such choices, I call it original. ;) )
