visiting savannah, part two

madison square reception

as mentioned in the last post, the reason for my recent trip down to savannah was a wedding...and an incredible one at that. caroline sims and tucker laffitte tied the knot in the historic trinity methodist church and then led guests through the city to an amazing reception in madison square. with cocktails, passed snacks, and a jazzy blues band, everyone mingled outdoors and enjoyed savannah's charm.
the historic architecture of the homes lining the square was offset by swags of spanish moss and black-tie clad guests, comfortable and at-ease in the coolness of spring.

"the perfect end to the perfect day" by caroline sims

a joint celebration of marriage and nature was not surprising. caroline, the bride, is a painter and has a talent for capturing beauty. "I open my eyes wide," she says. "I breathe and take it all in. There is a specific beauty to each moment and like a book in the wind, the pages keep turning. Great care must be taken to not miss the subtle smile or a child's embrace due to the blowing wind."
