Congratulations to Megan and Danny who were married at Aptos Village Park in beautiful Aptos, CA on July 28th. Maybe it’s because I already knew them, but this was an unusually special wedding for me. The ceremony was beautiful and poignant, the reception was colorful and upbeat, and every generation (from babies to Great-Grandparents) laughed, danced, and had an amazing time. Megan and Danny are both teachers and needless to say, they love kids. The wedding featured a jumphouse and the most fabulous cookies ever for their young guests. Here are a few fun ones:

I broke in my new macro lens on some details:
