April and Craig were married at Pack Place in downtown Asheville. Pack Place is a collective of artistic endeavours -- there's a theatre, a children's health/science place, and an art museum among other things. (We saw an Ansel Adams exhibit there a few years ago that was awesome!) So the first thing we saw when we walked inside were these beautiful butterflies, decorated by children, streaming in from the window.

We were able to spend a good portion of the day with April & Craig, which involved observing the setup for the reception. Here's one of the table centerpieces.

After setting everything up, Mark headed out with Craig to a nearby hotel while I followed the girls back to their loft downtown.


A little pre-ceremony champagne...

Coincidentally, the boys were doing the very same thing!

We loved having the opportunity to take photos downtown! A bridal party must always stop traffic!

The ceremony took place in the courtyard beside Pack Place... so we were able to take a few gritty, urban sunset photos outside before it began.

How beautiful! I love how her dress looks like a piece of art.
