Newbie''s non-pro photos :)

[newbie124]

OK, so I finally have some pictures to share from our big day!

Btw, whoever came up with the idea of setting up a group album for guests to share their photos gets props from me. I set up a site page on Shutterfly, and it''s been a lot easier being able to share one link and everyone gets to see everyone else''s pictures in one place. They can also download and/or print whichever ones they like. Very convenient. (Also, Shutterfly''s interface was a lot easier to follow than Photobucket''s IMHO).

Unfortunately it doesn''t seem like a lot of people took "detail" shots, so we''ll have to rely on our pro photographer for those. One of the things I was kind of disappointed about was that our beautiful letterpressed menus never made it to the tables! I''m not sure what happened...I think maybe our coordinator was worried about the wind knocking them down, so she ended up putting out framed table numbers that she had. They looked nice, but fairly generic compared to our menu cards

So anyway...without further ado, here are some snapshots from our wedding in Napa, starting with one of my favorites

Sign in table...not sure why it looks a bit messy...I think some of the escort cards must have blown over from the wind

Cake! It was so delicious...bottom layer was pistachio, top layer was white cake w/ lemon curd filling. Wish we could have taken some of that home, too!
