Since my sister asks me to hold off on publishing any wedding photos here until she edits them ( ! ) I wanted to at least share the pretty ladies that where at the tables...

Besides our BINTH "Devoted" candles every table had these gorgeous water glasses and bottles from the Elisabethen Quelle  in Germany. Their company motto is: „ Der Anfang aller Dinge ist das Wasser; aus Wasser ist alles und ins Wasser kehrt alles zurück“ (Thales von Milet ca. 650-560 v.Chr.) Loosely translated that means: “The beginning of all being was water. Everything is water and everything will be water again." So there you have it. Fire and water. Another beautiful union.

Hey little sister...Well you know the song. And you all know by now that we are back in Germany photographing and being part of my little sister's wedding. The last days have been a flurry of activities...I particularly loved learning how to button her into the amazing wedding dress, a beautiful white concoction...which she claims is not white, but champagne colored. Her custom tailored suit for the civil ceremony is undeniable and undebatable RED though.

Finally we meet her: the newest member of the BINTH family: Pia Victoria 

Born on April 20th to my brother Hendrik and his wife Andrea. Here she is in all her baby cheek beauty, trying to nap in my mother's house, cozied up in the family crib being ungraciously interrupted by her aunt and cousin from Amerika...

Altena in Westfalen. This is where I grew up-in the woods, the valleys and the clearings of the “Sauerland.”
