AnneMarie and Ryan-Nordic Center

What a blessing to be there for Annemarie and Ryan! The ceremony was sentimental and full of love and blessings from family and friends that traveled from Norway and from the corners of the US to share in their day. Here a few of my favorites, but you can see more on my Facebook Account.

The AZ Daily Sun wrote an article about the couple! AnneMarie and Ryan ran in a race the day before their wedding!

Annemarie was surrounded by family and friends as she prepared for her wedding. I love this one of her mom in the background looking proudly on:

The dress was gorgeous! It was so sparkly in the sunshine!

What a beautiful bride!

The couple opted to have a "First Meeting" in a meadow under the San Francisco Peaks; very perfect for these two runners!

I love this one with AnneMarie and her Dad, he also was the minister for the ceremony which was beautiful.

Annemarie had a great laugh and I loved how Ryan could make her laugh in a second!

What a great couple! Congrats!

Linden & Andy-The Nordic Center

This frozen adventure started last year when I started talking to the bride about her date, Memorial Day Weekend. She and I were discussing venues up here in the north country and the Nordic Center seemed to be the perfect place. (No way did either of us expect snow on Memorial Day!) She and her husband are both avid cyclists (Linden's a Pro Mountain Biker!) and they wanted to get married at a place where they both felt most connected. I guess what we didn't count on was the SNOW! I guess that goes to show that the only weather you can count on in Flagstaff is to have some sort of unusual storm. Linden's family isn't from here and absolutely no one showed up prepared for the blizzard! Linden & Andy were great sports about it and just laughed at the wet surprise. I think the snow might have even added to the flavor of the wedding!


Thanks to Jamelle for helping me out and keeping a smile even through the snow! You would never know it was 30F by the look on her face! Just think Jamelle, one week prior we were ankle deep in the Sea of Cortez!

Thanks to event designer, Kim Duncan, for not only making the wedding a beautiful event, but for opening up her home for bridal portraits! Isn't that a great couch?


Linden has the most amazing eyes!




Linden wore her grandmother's jewelry from the early 1900s.

Main Street catered the event. And yes, their food is as delicious as it is beautiful!

The couple's friend, Eric, made this very fitting cake for them!


Linden and Andy trying to warm up. Thanks for bringing your cool light Jamelle!


These photos are from when it was dusk and the reception was just starting. Thanks to Wendell of the Nordic Center for starting this fantastic bonfire which helped warm everyone up!


And last but not least, this photo is an example of why we love Flagstaff. They make a great couple! Congrats Linden and Andy!
