Wedding Portrait, originally uploaded by mslaura.

My good friend (and photographer) Brad Noble took the photos at our wedding on St. Martin in 2003.
They were casual snapshots for the most part, but this one he really did a pro job on, polished it up and made it perfect. I recently found the CD in my desk drawer and figured I should upload it. It really is a lovely photo, and captures the moment.

I’m on a nostalgic roll, so just posted a bunch of photos on my photostream from the early days of courtship. Click the photo to go there, then you can check out the slideshow once you get there (link at top right), that’s the best way to look at the photos.

This shot is of the Baker & Hamilton building in San Francisco, which I had never before seen in my 13 years of living there. Dan and I started dating and we were driving on 280N through the city, going downtown. All of a sudden this HUGE sign appeared over the city skyline (the front of the building is shown here, but on the back is a truly colossal sign poking up several stories high). BAKER & HAMILTON, for everyone to see. And that was it, we figured it was meant to be.
