We have a ton of great shots of the big day, so here's Part One, with notes sharing where each thing came from. We'll let the pictures do the talking...and unless otherwise indicated, remember that everything for the wedding was either gifted, borrowed, or traded for our skills/services/talents/blog coverage. Amazing! And all these shots are by the incredible
Laura Elizabeth Photography. We adore her.
