i heart jose

good news, we have chosen a photographer!
the photos are my favorite part of any wedding, so it was very important to me to choose a great photographer. in my mind, the choice was easy. i have been admiring one photographer's work for quite some time now. jose villa is an amazing fine art wedding photographer and i am so honored that he is going to shoot our wedding!

time and place

drumroll, please.......


we have chosen a location and wedding date!!
the wedding will be held on friday, november the 5th, 2010 on the island of st. john in the us virgin islands.


we are so excited to have this major decision out the way. it was very tough, since i had my heart set on wine country. but when we considered all our options, we ultimately decided to make the most of getting married and have a destination wedding. 


doesn't st. john just look divine? we chose the island not only for its remarkable beauty, but because we have both been to st. john and loved it. we wanted to pick a place that is special to both of us and this fit the bill perfectly!


we have not picked a venue just yet, but stay tuned!
