Carrine and Michael

Saturday I had a very special wedding. My sister's best friend Carrine got married and she asked if I would be their photographer. I was thrilled because I did not want to miss this wedding. Carrine has been such an important part of my sisters life which makes her part of the family!

The Wedding was in my hometown of Pinetop, AZ. I love being able to go back and take pictures in Pinetop because there is so much beauty there! I have such a great time going home. I have now done 1 wedding a year there, but am hoping to do more.. so if you know of anyone getting married in the mountains, just let them know I LOVE taking pictures up there!

Things have changed so much on the mountain since I lived there and some of the changes are very good.. such as a new Salon that does amazing work and is totally hip and urban.. it is called "Urban Bliss" and is where the girls got ready. If you are in the White Mountain Area you have to check out this new Salon.

Carrine is one of the most beautiful people inside and out. I'm so glad she choose to have someone pamper her and do her hair and makeup. She looked Gorgeous and had so much fun getting pampered.



As I said, the Ceremony and Reception were at Torreon Golf Resort. It was beautiful.
The dress was beautiful!
We caught this moment of Carrine about to get ready.
And of course you can't forget all the details... the pearl bracelet that her Grandmother gave her to wear.

Carrine radiated the entire day!! Beautiful!
The Guys!!!

The handsome Groom, Michael.
Of Course, I can not leave my nephew out of this whole mix of pictures. My family was invited to the wedding, which was crazy because I've never done a wedding with so many people I know. Of course it was hard not taking a ton of pictures of my nephews.. but I did good. But this is little Aidan in his tux.. and he was adorable. More pictures are below of both of the boys!
The official Ring Bearer and Flower girls... so cute.

Their Dad had to help them pick up the flowers because they wouldn't go any farther because they dumped out all the flowers alredy.. what a great father/daughter moment.


Carrine had her brother walk her down the aisle and it was a very special time for both of them.

A very fun wedding party.

Something very neat about this day was the fact that it was supposed to rain the entire day, but it didn't. The day before it rained and were so scared that we weren't going to be able to get pictures outside, but God is good.. and the rain didn't come until all the pictures were done and we were inside partying at the reception.. we just had gorgeous clouds to get great pictures.





At the reception there were a TON of kids and they all played on the dance floor. I have to show some of these pictures because I was so proud of my twin 1 year old nephews who got out and partied with all the other kids...Below is Aidan.
And this is Liam.
This is my wonderful mother with Aidan.
And because I never get to share pictures with all of you of my parents I thought I would end with this picture of my amazing mother and father dancing together. I love you guys.

Carrine and Michael... you two are truly a blessing and I can see God in your lives and pray that you will continue to seek him in your marriage!! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of such a wonderful day! I'm looking forward to so much more time spent with you both. Congratulations!!
