A few photos from Shelter Gardens.

Before we totally wrap up Jenn & Jeb’s wedding photos, here are a few more for your blog-reading pleasure:

Every Thursday in June and September, downtown Columbia erupts into the Twilight Festival. The streets fill with people. The sidewalks fill with musicians, booths and petitioners. Parking is nonexistent. It’s incredible. Yesterday we braved it and brought back some photos.

It ain’t Columbia without something to protest…

Amanda’s absolute favorite place to eat. The vegetarian village rolls come with this sauce we suspect contains trace amounts of crack.

Ice cream sounded good…

But we got ours from Sparky’s… here’s the famed statue of their canine mascot.

And last… someone spray painted literary characters all over downtown. Here’s Alice.

Briefly ducking in:

Here are a few quick highlights from Erin and Wes’ wedding. They’re an awesome couple who had a beautiful church ceremony after a stroll through Shelter Gardens.

The church had a great balcony that gave a good birds-eye-view.

Their daughter Stella was really shy when she came along for their engagement session, but we figured that nobody can hide from the MegaZoom!

In reality she stopped being shy about 30 minutes into our pre-wedding photos. She was a superstar! During the ceremony, she never left mom & dad; which made for some really touching family moments.

For every hour we spend at a wedding, I would estimate we spend two or three hours editing the results. Because of this, popular wedding months like June create insane backlogs of photos. So, we’ve got a lot more where these came from!

I promise, we actually do take pictures of people too! But last, and certainly not least, I wanted to post a few pictures of Tucker. Enjoy!

The spots on his paws are striking, especially in this last photo:
