Ah, happy day...

Three years ago, today, we had our best party ever!
I love that day (and of course, every day since.)

(Photo by Jeff Walls - if you're in Portland, and need a great Photographer, contact Jeff! He traveled all the way to Oakland for us, and he captured our day in such a beautiful way.)

(Additional Photo post-processing by Me -- you know how much I like to play with color...)

Recently while unpacking boxes, I came across our Save the Date card and thought it'd be fun to share with you. Many of our out of town guests were unfamiliar with Oakland, so we wanted to show them an image so stunning, so charming they simply couldn't resist!

Because our reception was to be held in a beautiful art deco hotel in Oakland, with a sparkling view of Lake Merritt, this vintage postcard perfectly suited the mood of our wedding.

We simply added a few "Josh and Jen" touches...

and sealed it with a kiss!
