I don't even know the photographer - but I am in love with her work - what she has captured and shared here. Thank you for posting this. I will share it with young women that could benefit from gathering their family and friends to spend some time with her before she goes on to the next chapter in her life. To honor this passage with a ceremony including powerful women and the best teas available was a brilliant combination. Pure Magic bursting with what we women are good at - loving each other and being able to speak it with our presence as well as our creativity and words. Great to have the young ones there as well...notice how it was uncomfortable for some of them to 'share'...they will grow from this and learn the importance of true communication. I feel blessed to have experienced this today.

As I looked through the pictures I felt like I was there. What a lucky bride to be a part of a family so special and supportive.
