happy friday! well, here's our last wedding from the 2009 season...it's feeling good to get caught up. we rounded off the year with lindsay + george's wedding on december 19th + we have to give them mad props for being such great troopers + romping around outside on this blistery, rainy, cold day! we love that they timed their ceremony early enough to still take advantage of natural light for the creative portraits afterwards [always a good thing for late fall + winter weddings]. and it's a real treat when we get to work with max + his team at sun in my belly [yummy food] and amy osaba created brilliant floral designs as usual! here's a few of our favorites and a big thanks to adam + andy for their creative perspectives.

lindsay looked so stunning!

the send off was with bells!

congrats again lindsay + george! we loved working with both of you. xo, cristen + scott
