Brian, Lauren, one of my favorite regions of this country, and that ridiculous seasonal glow. It all came together on a hilltop adjacent to Lauren's childhood home, where her & Brian's closest friends and family gathered for an evening of merriment.

Brian & Lauren's full set of photographs can be seen right here, from whence prints can also be ordered.

Nearly too much cool for a set of photographs.

While being a bit off speed of our typical work – and our typical journal post – these photographs highlight a fantastic event put on by folks of whom we're just the fondest. Spectacle is the newest fundraiser for the Children's Center for the Visually Impaired. It's quite an event and quite an experience; an open fire grilling extraordinaire featuring the city's best chefs with Argentinian and Uruguayan vibes.

Sound cool? Learn more about this year's Spectacle right here.

(The pictures below are of the preparatory event CCVI put on this spring to show off a bit of what's to be expected of the main event, June 29.)
