A snowy December wedding at Fontaine Estates Winery - Naches

A 12-21-12 wedding and they survived the Mayan calendar!! (see Mayan calendar photos below) CONGRATULATIONS ROBIN AND TIM!!! We had so much fun at your wedding. I loved the atmosphere at the winery, and it was so perfect that it snowed in the morning but stopped for photos. I'm so proud of you guys for enduring the cold for some outdoor pictures :)
