Debra and Michelle
My friend, photographer Karen Pike (all these photos are hers) hooked me up with Debra and Michelle, a couple of lovely gals up from Texas to get married in muddy Vermont! Â They ended up coming out to my house for the ceremony and photo shoot, and had a really fun time – complete with tiny cake from neighbor (and Cake Genius) Julie Almond of Caketopia Cakes.

Julie Almond‘s very, very tasty vanilla/strawberry cakelet.
What I hadn’t realized was that it was the 4th anniversary of Vermont legalizing same sex marriage! Â What a joy to be part of a state that has its head on straight about human rights!
But I’ll let Karen tell the rest of the story on her fine blog…
