Katie and Ben's wedding was a wonderful example of the importance of family, the connection of home, the beauty of simplicity, and the power of laughter and love.  Now living in Austin, TX, Katie and Ben flew out to Martinez, CA to get married in the backyard of the home Katie grew up in.  A small, intimate group of 15 of their closest friends and family gathered to celebrate the marriage of this awesome and super fun couple. After a few photos at Hidden Lakes Park, where Katie learned to fish as a child, we all headed to Scott's Garden in Walnut Creek for dinner and toasts. Thank you Katie and Ben for sharing your special and totally kick ass day with me.  To me, this wedding was filled with the kinds of moments that define what marriage and family is really about and ultimately what makes me love what I do.  Here are a few of those moments...

Congratulations Katie & Ben!
