Weddings

It was not what one would consider a beautiful spring day–the winds were extreme (!!), the temperatures frigid, and the sky completely overcast–but inside Walker Homestead, it was beautiful and warm with lots of pastels and punches of richer colors, like the bridesmaids, who all wore different colors that turned out to be so perfect […]
