I think the typical expression is candy store, but I’ve got cupcakes constantly on the brain lately since I’ve got the Red Velvet cupcake store about two blocks from me, and the Curbside Cupcake twitter/facebook updates constantly following me. Ok, refocusing. So, kid in a cupcake store is the exact feeling I got when Kristin told me that we’d be able to photograph on the grounds of the National Cathedral. Typically, commercial photography is not allowed on the grounds, but Dave had special permission to photograph on the grounds because he rings the bells at the National Cathedral. Isn’t that crazy? It never occurred to me before that the booming church bell music originates from some people in a room swinging ropes, attached to bells, with precision.

Kristin and Dave are hilarious. One minute, they’re striking Top-Model-worthy poses…the next, they’re bursting with laughter at something that the other has said. They actually met because they both ring handbells. I’ve never seen handbells before, but they’ve assured me that there will be plenty on hand for their wedding in Williamsburg, Virginia. I can’t wait!

I love everything about the National Cathedral, but oddly enough, the wow-this-is-amazing-point came when we first pulled into the parking lot. Check out these stripes.
