On the shore of Cape Cod

On August 16th, 2008, my cousin Martha tied the knot with her fiance Mikael. The scene was Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary in Barnstable, MA. The weather was iffy that day, but cooperated with us fairly well and gave us a fabulous sunset as a backdrop later on.

Simple, elegant rings were a lovely choice.

Martha donned her custom-made wedding dress, which she acquired on a trip to Thailand.

Family and friends gathered from as far as Denmark and Sweden!

A simple ceremony…

…for a wonderful couple!

After the ceremony, we had big family gatherings for group shots. This was by far one of the toughest things to manage, especially since as one of the cousins, I had to be in it (I’m the last on the far right).

Mikael and Martha were visibly having a lot of fun being surrounded by friends and family from all over.

The storm rolled by to the north of us, granting us some simply marvelous clouds!

I brought my fisheye camera for a little something different, too.

While we were on the Cape, we stayed at One Centre Street Inn in Yarmouth Port–a very comfortable and hospitable location. Delicious breakfasts and excellent hosts; I highly recommend staying there if you get the chance.

Many thanks to my extended family and my husband for helping to take care of little Ruthie while I ran around having a great time with my cameras!
