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.

on July 14, 2011 5:56 pmOh 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.

on July 14, 2011 7:41 pmNow 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. ;)
