jamie + justin

last saturday, october 10, 2009 i had the privilege of coordinating a lovely wedding at the santa barbara zoological gardens, for bride and groom jamie and justin! they were engaged one year prior, to the day, at paris' eiffel tower and over the last year the two planned a wedding weekend that couldn't have been lovelier. the ceremony took place in the zoo's palm garden, complete with a couple distant roars from the resident lions and a reception that followed on the hilltop overlooking santa barbara's coastline and harbor. one of the magical moments: the day that was turning out to be a little chilly and foggy...became soft evening sunshine, as the bride made her way through the rose petals to the alter. to quote the groom "the heavens parted" when his beautiful bride walked down the aisle. everyone agreed - it was a breathtaking moment. congratulations to mr. & mrs. anderson! photo above by  fotocielo (see additional on merriment's website).
