Wedding Trip - Nor Cal 07-11-10

Crystal and I took a trip to California in May for my sisters wedding. I got to do the photography for her wedding, we were there for 4 days. I took hundreds of shots, these were my favorites out of all of them.
We flew into San Francisco, then drove for 4 hours north to Eureka.
