You know there’s a different sort of vibe in the air when, instead of coming down the aisle, the groom jogs up side, pretends to throw himself into the water, and hops over some chains to make his way to the front of ceremony. And so it was with Olivia and Shikhiu. Olivia, possessed of a warmth, grace, and playfulness that brings a smile to the mind, and Shikhiu, vibrant, expressive, and full of heart. When you put those two things together, it’s hard to expect anything less than a brilliant day, and without a doubt, it lived up to its billing.

I was so happy to be able to spend a day with Lindsay and Dan at the Stroudsmoor in Pennsylvania. Lindsay was the the youngest of three sisters, and there’s just something special about coming to a wedding where you know the family. It’s such an honor to be able to be there for the third time. I loved seeing everyone again, and the clear sky on this brilliant day up in the mountains was the perfect backdrop for it all.
