Jeffrey and Maryfrances-before the wedding

My dear friend Maryfrances married Jeffrey, the love and of her life on Saturday. It was a beautiful wedding held outside at a camp near their house. I was photographer/director.


Virginia and Kate, love you!

You can see the pockets in this light.


Looking at herself in the mirror

Her loving mother looking on.

Fun bride shoes! 

Maryfrances and her sister Alyson-Grace hand tatted the lace for her veil. 



This picture captures Maryfrances' personality. 

Gorgeous!

Gorgeous again!



Her long flowing veil was very fun to photograph.

It's so nice to have an absolutely beautiful friend on the inside and the outside. :)




Her grandmother didn't like having her picture taken, but I think the picture turned out quite cute.

The handsome groom.

We hid the bride away in a room that had windows overlooking the place where the guests arrived. We had a fun time spying on everyone to see who had come and what they wore.

Switzerland

I think Switzerland must be one of the most beautiful countries in the whole world. Everywhere you look the scenery takes your breath away.

We took a train from Budapest to Zurich which took 12 hours. This is a field of flowers in Hungary.

We had a layover in Salzburg, I was thinking of the Sound of Music the whole time.

We also saw a bit of Germany



The Eiger







I spent the afternoon sitting in a field of flowers with the snow-covered alps towering above me and blew dandelions. Wonderful.



And there were plenty of dandelions for me to blow. :)



Grindelwald: an alpine village that looks like it came out of a storybook.

My delicious snack--fresh strawberries and whipped cream. 


Happy chocolate milk cows

A lovely sunset

The color of the water in these glacier lakes is incredible.  The water is super clear and a beautiful turquoise color. 


We took a boat ride around the Lake Brienz near Interlaken and we got off at a couple of towns to explore.

At one time this lovely building was an exclusive girl's finishing school.


Mom stayed here 20 years ago and loved coming back

This was the view from our table where we had lunch on the terrace of a lovely historic hotel.

This was the view from the other side of our table.



You can't really tell but Dad and I are behind the waterfall.


On our way home we flew over Greenland;you can see lots of iceburgs in the lakes.

And this concludes my absolutely amazing trip to Europe!! Though I loved being there I was ready to get home to my own bed and my siblings.
