six years ago today

Six years ago today Dave and I got married! If you ask most people about that day they will remember this - it was 105 degrees!

Photography and images hold a very special place in my heart for so many reasons. On this day in particular because I can look back and see exactly what I remember...

For starters the setting was AMAZING. We were married at Hakone Gardens in Saratoga, California which is gorgeous. If you saw the movie Memoirs of a Geisha you might recognize this scene which was filmed there...

Dave and I spent many of our first dates visiting the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco, so these gardens had a very special meaning to us.

My dress was simple, white with chevron detailing, a low back with ribbons trailing in the back...

And I rocked a serious side ponytail...

This is one of my favorite pictures from that day. Dave and I on the bridge after the ceremony, and one of our flower girls Alyssa, caught off to the side photographing us...

Every time I look back at our wedding photos they retell the story over again for me...

Eudora Welty said "A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away."

These moments for me will never run away...

A beautiful day, filled with beautiful people in a beautiful place.

Happy sixth anniversary Dave.
