Kristen and Nick were married this past Saturday on a very hot AZ summer day. Kristen and Nick have known each other for 20 years, but just 3 years ago reconnected when Kristen moved to Arizona. They had family and friends come from all over the country to celebrate their love and the beginning of their marriage. It was a really special day to photograph.

Kristen’s maid of honor was so great! At this moment, we were running an hour behind schedule, but Kate gave her a pep talk that it was all going to work out and you can see a little smile starting on Kristen’s face.

One word. GORGEOUS.

Nick didn’t disappoint either :)I must say a huge thank you to their bridal party. They were so much fun and we got through portraits in record time! Thank you, guys, SO much!

Little touch-ups in between portraits. Such a great maid-of-honor!

Kristen, you are so beautiful and I can almost feel how happy you are at this moment.

I think it would be safe to say that Kristen’s dad approves of Nick:

Married!

A little nature…

and a  little urban:

Kristen’s friend did such a beautiful job on her flowers:

This was such a fun reception to photograph! What a great group of friends!Kristen and Nick, I’m so excited for what the future holds for you two. If it’s anything like your wedding day, it will be an absolute blast and filled with supportive family and friends and lots and lots of love. Hugs XX, Cristi
