Photo Tour of Charlottesville

So since I need to play around with my new camera, I thought I would do a little "tour" of some hot spots in Charlottesville as a little preview for our wedding guests. Our ceremony is downtown - 1/2 block from court square and 1 block from the downtown mall. Then we head down Main Street toward the corner (UVA hangout) and UVA grounds. I took a ton of photos before my allergies started acting up and here are just a few of them leading you from the ceremony to... well, not quite to the reception hall. I'll leave that for another day. Matty made the cut because his apartment is on the downtown mall. Silly man. I didn't edit any of these and I know I can do much better, but it was so much fun! I felt like a real photographer (minus knowing what I was doing!) So afterwards I ran to Barnes and Noble quickly to pick up a book about the D-60.

Alright ladies and gentlemen, our tour begins in historic downtown Charlottesville outside the courthouse... Enjoy!

Court Square, downtown, 1/2 block from our church

The Inn at Court Square... So quaint.

This is where we're getting MARRIED!!
Don't make fun of the name. :-)

It's been there for awhile...

Matty. Isn't he special?
I like portrait mode, it's the only one I know how to use.
(i.e. turn to portrait, take pictures of people)

SUPER cute puppy of man trying to hit on me.

Christopher's restaurant!
They obviously weren't open yet. Hehe.

Sad chess board in the park.

We should've scheduled the wedding for May. Look at these beauties!

Welcome to the south. Everyone needs a large statue of Robert E Lee.

One of my favorite places in the world... the library.

Steps to a law firm downtown.

More posies downtown.

Circling back to the inn. SO CUTE.

Front door to the inn.

In case you had ANY doubts the square was historic.

Driving from downtown to grounds you pass the Main Street Market. Albemarle Baking Company is one of the best joints in town.

Outside the bakery.

Bodo's on the corner. Bodo's is a staple of Charlottesville. This is where Mama, Daddy, Christopher and I had lunch in between my graduations.

On the lawn at UVA. Well, the lawn is behind me, this is one of the Pavillions. I can't wait to get wedding pictures on the lawn. So gorgeous.

And this is the end of your tour around Charlottesville because your guide's allergies are about to make her face/head explode all over the camera.
