Brian & Michelle: Wedding

You know it's true love when a couple decides to get married in AZ in the humidest (just made that up-it just sounded more humid than "most humid") part of our very hot AZ summer. Brian and Michelle are definitely in love with their August wedding!

I've decided that my heart is like a little filing cabinet and one of the folders in my filing cabinet has to be the couples I get to know as I photograph their weddings. Brian and Michelle, you're in there. I'm sticking Michelle's mom in there, too. We really clicked. Our eyeballs operate on the same "tear frequency".

So here are some pics surrounding their wedding day. They were sealed in the Mesa,AZ Temple in the middle of August. We actually lucked out with the weather...humid, yes, but it was also a tad cooler with the slightly overcast skies. A fair trade.

I had a feeling these boys were up to something...

Michelle with her cute sisters and below with all of her siblings. I would like to take credit for their giggles...but their dad was doing something that I did not get to see...but whatever it was, it worked.

The reception was held at Crackers and Co. in Mesa. The owner, Veronika Luko, worked with the Bride and her family to personalize it. The food was prepared fresh, on the spot by their chef, Cliff Weir and was delicious, I might add. I always like to be able to give a personal endorsement of food served at weddings. It was a great location for a reception, and one I would recommend. They are normally open for breakfast and lunch, so there is no conflict for the dinner/reception hour.

The beautiful cake was designed by Melody Larsen, and flowers by Michelle Zakanis of Michelle's Floral Design LLC 480.325.5585

I love how kids always find something to entertain themselves. They were totally into this.

The Bride saying good-bye to her parents is always a touching moment for me.

I have a feeling that they will live happily ever after! Happy Wedding Day,

Brian and Michelle. Thank you for letting me be a part of it.
