Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Carrie couldn’t stop smiling the entire day. Even the late bouquets and warm weather couldn’t ruin her upbeat attitude. Just being around her made a person smile. And no one smiled quite as big as David! These two were laughs the entire day.
A BIG thank you to Kim of Kim Irons Photography for asking me to shoot with you on this happy day!
The whole wedding took place at Loew’s hotel in Coronado. I loved this place! It was my first time there.
Some down time before the ceremony
David laughing it up with his best man
Carrie even laughed when her dad stepped on her veil and pulled her head back!
Instead of Carrie taking David’s (long and hard to pronounce East African) last name, they created their own last name from part of David’s mother’s maiden name! What a neat idea!
Down to the beach for some group shots!
I joked to the guys that they should throw her up in the air…they didn’t really do it, but she thought they were going to!
Party time! Grand entrance was a lot of fun!
During the toasts, she couldn’t keep her eyes off of him!
The raddest cake toppers!!!
DJ Joe of JMC Events kept the dance floor packed all night!
Cutie flower girls!!
Good luck to Carrie and David on your new life together in Arizona!
