chris & christy

were married this past saturday at the san marcos resort. this couple & their families are from the east coast & traveled to phoenix for their destination wedding. she found me online & booked after a few emails & one phone call. it was almost too easy, but i truly felt like i'd made a friend through our correspondence.

finally their big day came & it rained! they had to change a few details but nothing could stop this group from having an amazing time. the day was filled with so much joy! i know i rave about my clients, but seriously somehow the coolest people find me & my business. i am so grateful to have met you chris & christy & your families... thank you for letting me share this important step in your story.

i also wanted to comment on the other vendors... they were the friendliest group of people. it was obvious, at least to me, that they enjoyed their jobs. i highly recommend them:

rev. richard mccarthy, non-denominational & traditional services: 480.206.5059
denise mowlem, hair & make-up artist: 530.314.9170
jim stamps, videographer: beautifuldayfilms.com
& jill turski, stood in for the wedding planner at crowne plaza & did a great job!

& now for some pictures:

here's christy getting ready.


cool detail from the boys preparations.


isn't she stunning?


the closer to the "ceremony" the more excited she got!


meanwhile the boys prayed & discussed the responsibilities of being not only a husband, but a good husband. i was quite impressed with what they had to say.


religion is a huge part of who they are & i thought this was a cool detail explaining that.


christy & her father moments before he gives her away to chris.


the rain moved the ceremony under the tent- which actually made for a beautiful setting.


chris is in the army so a saber ceremony was really important to him- but because they aren't from here they had a hard time finding volunteers until my good friend, joanne, stepped in & recommended a few people. i'm so glad it was able to come together because it was an awesome thing to experience. thanks joanne!


permission to pass was granted with the seal of a kiss.


and christy's bestfriend's father, also in the military, was able to "spank/welcome" her to the army family!




sneaky lil kiss.


more kissing.
