Susan & Charlie: Married! (POST BY SARAH)

July 7, 2011 Susan & Charlie: Married! (POST BY SARAH)

First of all, I have to say that we love Susan and Charlie. They have a few things in life figured out: handmade beats store-bought, the natural world is not to be taken for granted, and words from the heart mean more. Their wedding was a mind-blowing outpouring of love and craftiness, and an amazing example of what a wedding can be when you roll up your sleeves and do things yourself. Susan called it an art installation, and boy was it! Countless hours went in to gathering and creating the details of their day, which was held at a Rist Canyon cabin way off the beaten path. Their venue wasn’t really made for weddings, so they had to create their own ceremony site (which I heard included the removal of a bear carcass). Susan and friends sewed all the napkins and table runners. Place cards were hand-typed. The vintage tea tins on the tables were filled with poems. Each guest got an antique hanky (much-needed – those vows were ridiculous). Cards for the couple went into an old dollhouse, and guests typed their well-wishes on a vintage typewriter. And I still think about the food – local, organic, vegetarian, and glorious. The list of things I loved about this wedding go on and on…

But I’ll let the pictures do the talking. I don’t know how I managed to narrow it down to the few photos I’ve included here, but I hope you’ll enjoy what we captured! Thanks Susan and Charlie, it was rad.
