KRISTEN AND TONY WEDDING

Last Saturday we photographed the wedding of Kristen and Tony. All week prior to the wedding, Kristen kept saying that the only thing she hoped for on her wedding day was it not to be windy - which in the high country in autumn can be tricky. The day was absolutely beautiful, with mild temperatures and sunny skies, the only problem being, it was very, very windy! The word windy really doesn't even do it justice - it was down right blustery. Winds were in excess of 40mph, but Kristen didn't even bat an eye, she just rolled with the punches and kept a smile on her face. Besides, we told her that wind can make for some very interesting and dramatic photos, so maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

Kristen and Tony took their vows in downtown Flagstaff at the Nativity Church. Afterwards, we stopped by the Colton House on the way to the reception site to take some photographs. The couple rented one of the rooms here for their wedding night and the house and grounds provided a wonderfully romantic backdrop we just couldn't resist! The reception was held at Kristen's parent's home, which happens to be within walking distance of our home :-). The theme was focused around the colors and flowers of Thailand, which holds very special meaning to the couple. It was all held under a beautiful white tent, complete with a dance floor specially made by her father for this day.

Kristen and Tony, you made such a beautiful couple, and Kristen, we cannot say enough about how unbelievably gorgeous you were - you looked as if you had just stepped out of the pages of a magazine! Everything about your wedding day was perfect - including the wind :-). Both you and your families have been extremely welcoming to us during the months and weeks leading up to this day and we really enjoyed getting to know you all! We wish you all the best in life!
