The Big Knot






I spent a wonderful week at home. I got short visits with lots of good friends and spent some wonderful time with my family. My friends Evan and Ben tied the knot and it was beautiful and lots of fun. Here are some pics from the event.

I am now fascinated by weddings. I love photographing them, but the whole ritual is pretty amazing. I justified some pretty silly things "because it was my wedding." Then at the wedding we said our vows, and I felt, "wow, that was it!" And then there was complete exhaustion trying to spend time with all people who made their way into the middle of Yosemtie to be present. (We have friends in Hawaii who have threatened to get married on top of a glacier in the middle of Alaska that will require us to take a helicopter, a dog sled, hike three miles and swim through icy water just as retaliation.) I go back and forth between thinking that weddings are over the top and thinking that they are great chances to celebrate eachother and see friends and family. I loved Evan's wedding. At the moment I'm leaning towards the latter.
