The Official Wedding Photos

So... ready for some more wedding pictures?

Here are my favorites from the official photographer. Bear with me, there were over 1000 of them, and these are just the best of the best of the best...

(Because there are so many, I'm posting them here as medium sized images and not the usual large. Click on any one  to see it full-sized.)

I made six of these (with some help from Vicki to finish up the last one) for my bridesmaids.

I also made each of them a fur cape! It was January in Minnesota, after all!

Yes, the dress isn't properly zipped up. I'll explain more about that over on my sewing blog.
