Here's a close-up look at the intricate detail of Annie's Gown. 130 appliques, a few layered petals, and 53 hours of hand-sewing.

Here's what Annie's mom, Bobbe, e-mailed us following the July 2 wedding:

"I wish you could have been at the wedding----our guests actually gasped as Annie appeared walking toward us over the crest of a hill in the middle of a tree-lined field on a bright sunny afternoon. The wedding was at 5:00 with bright blue sky and a slight wind rustling the trees. And the most often word to describe Annie's dress was "stunning." Your incredible dress made the day what it was. Annie had significantly more than the usual bridal glow and it was because she loved the dress and the way she looked and felt wearing it. I can never thank you enough for your amazing work!"

The photo is one that we took in my studio with our little "point-and-shoot" camera, but we'll be publishing more of her photographer's [Brown Street Studios] images once they're available.
