“I don’t want to think about it
I don’t want to talk about it
When I kiss your lips
I want to sink down to the
bottom of the sea”
– Cake // Love You Madly

There was so much beauty in this day, I’m not even sure where to start. But I’ll try anyways.

Carly and Tristan, who have amazing taste in style and music, really planned a day that was family-oriented and full of love. There was no mistaking their adoration for one another — like, when Carly’s wedding gift to Tristan warmed his heart with a bottle of his favorite brew and some Legend of Zelda socks (in case he got cold feet — so cute!); or when Tristan tried to hold back tears upon seeing Carly for the first time in her dress, exclaiming, “how did I get so lucky?!”; or when they danced away from their ceremony, hand-in-hand, and you could just feel the good vibes radiating off of them (or was it that amazing sunset?). But my very favorite part, was when their best guys and gals surrounded them with love after their ceremony. You just can’t fake that much awesomeness, folks.

What an amazing group of people, and an amazing day this garden glam wedding was.
