Willows has this huge, cool tree stump thing out in front of the lodge.  I wanted to get the whole thing with the blue sky and sun, but that left Heather and Eric in almost complete darkness, so I pulled out my handy dandy remote flash and brightened them up a bit.  Very fun!

The centerpieces were cool.  I like it when they figure out how to make something beautiful and large while at the same time let the guests see the other side of the table.
