Kim and Shaun got married yesterday at the lovely Clifton Inn. Just the two of them and it was so sweet! I've been to the Clifton Inn at all times of the year but I have to say that yesterday it was more beautiful than I've ever seen it... absolutely everything was in bloom: climbing clematis, iris, peonies and lots of other things I couldn't identify.

The most touching part of Shaun and Kim's ceremony was reading the letter that Kim's parents wrote to them and sent from Australia for me to share with them on their wedding day. Such a special touch... and Kim's Dad is a wonderful writer! Half way through the ceremony it started to rain so we all ran for cover and finished the ceremony up on the front porch of the Inn. It's always those unexpected moments that are the most memorable!

Despite choosing to have a wedding without guests Shaun and Kim had all of the wonderful extras to make their day special: an amazing photographer: Jen Fariello whose beautiful photos you see here; Jill and Tim Rose captured the ceremony on video; Jen of Elan On-Site Salon Services helped Kim get her hair and makeup just right; Wayla Chambo and Wes Swing provided beautiful flute and cello music and Melissa of the Clifton Inn, as always, made sure every detail was in place.

We all agreed that there's something really special about these small weekday weddings... if you have an interest in a small affair like this one please consider checking out the Weekday Wedding Company.

Thanks to everyone who made yesterday's wedding so wonderful and many blessings to both of you Kim and Shaun!

A video of your wedding day is something you and your families will always treasure and Jill Rose of Jillian's Video Productions is the very best you'll find! Jill will capture your day beautifully and professionally. Her artistry, sensitivity and technical know-how are second to none and the finished product that she provides to her couples is a priceless masterpiece.

One of the best reasons that I know of to have your wedding video-taped... other than as a lasting memory of the day for generations to come ... is to allow those who were not able to attend, elderly grandparents, siblings with small children who can not travel and anyone else who sadly has to miss your big day, the opportunity to share in your happiness in a way that only video permits.

Jillian, and her crew (she always has 2 cameras going) use the best equipment available and somehow seem to be everywhere at once... capturing the important moments in a documentary style. She also does mini-interviews with your guests so that later you'll get to see and hear your friends and family's love and best wishes for you. What could be better?
