​Every autumn I look forward to the Great Glass Pumpkin Patch. It is a Bay Area tradition that started seventeen years ago. It began with only 750 pumpkins but year after year, the event got bigger. This year there are over 8,000 uniquely hand-blown pumpkins crafted by more than 30 glass artisans. It is a fall highlight for me!!!! No two pumpkins are alike. They come in all sizes, colors, shapes, and prices. Like a real pumpkin patch, the glass pumpkins are scattered throughout the grass on the event location. Smaller ones are gathered together on display tables along with other autumn decorations. Over the years, I have fallen in love with this event. I always go with my camera in hand trying to capture the whimsical nature of my favorite pumpkins. I’m always dazzled by the way the light sparkles on the glass edges and makes the pumpkins glow. And the colors. . . oh the brilliant colors – they are so diverse and bright! The glass pumpkin patch is a feast of inspiration for any artist!

My husband, Andrew, and I got married exactly one year ago today! It really was a JOYFUL day! Everything I had imagined came together beautifully thanks to so many blessed vendors, friends, and family members. So when it came to making my wedding album, I knew it had to be good! I also had the added pressure that I am a graphic designer, so I felt like not only did it have to be good, it had to be REALLY good! So several months after the wedding, I began the quest of designing the perfect wedding album.
