I saw pictures of the palatine Church of St John the Evangelist in Point de Vue magazine a few weeks ago while reading an article on the restoration of the palace. It simply took my breath away...just beautiful.Thank you again for posting these stunning photos...I am soooo looking forward to this wedding!
