They had a beautiful ceremony at the <a href="http://www.oddshall.org/">Odd Fellows Hall </a>in East Sound, Orcas Island. I went to elementary school with Karol, so it was very moving to be able to photograph her wedding. Here are just a few of my favorites from the day. Paul Porter was also there helping me out.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Karol got ready at the <a href="http://www.outlookinn.com/">Outlook Inn</a> more in the center of town before heading over to Odd Fellows for the ceremony and reception.&nbsp;</p>
