sam and steven's full wedding day story slideshow.

this was one of the most fun wedding receptions we've been to... check out the images and you'll see why!

the wedding was filled with music from family and friends... what a great way to make your reception personal ... it helps when you have really talented friends and family too.



this is our favorite part of the reception! as you saw in part II, sam and steven are fun and love to goof around... well, steve started singing a song to sam, and sam picked it up and it became a duet... the best part is the song! it was "the time of my life," you know the one from the movie "dirty dancing"... and the crowd went wild! it was even more fun because of the fact that sam can really sing, and, well, steven tries hard... :)

btw, sam was chosen to create one of several versions of a song for the soundtrack for the recent movie the inglorious basterds. quentin tarantino only wanted the best of the several versions he commissioned to be made, and when he heard them all, without hesitation chose sam's. ironically, they are friends anyway, so he was happy to have chosen it. here's the video: the man with the big sombrero.

sam and steven's full wedding day story slideshow.

almost ceremony time! the light was gorgeous!

andrew and i were thinking that her sister, marley shelton, seemed so familiar... that's because we had been watching the tv show eleventh hour, in which she stared.



we love that they had a grown up ring bearer! how fun!



sam and her dad checking out the crowd and ceremony site before their long walk to steven.



this wedding was full of personal touches... they made their own chuppah...



short wedding ceremonies seem to be so popular right now... but this ceremony was on the longer side and was very refreshing as we had plenty of time to watch the crowd for great expressions and moments.



and sam's family and friends were so very talented... music as well as poems read by dear friends and family were a big part of the ceremony.







the gorgeous setting... we look out on this same mountain from our sedona office... oak creek canyon is so beautiful.

just married!!!



andrew snuck this shot in from afar while sam and steven had a private moment... the body language and expression says so much...



the gorgeous newlyweds!









more details... lights her family strung from the trees and steven's matching green socks!



most of the details came from what they found on sam's grandfather's property there... old mason jars for the flowers, weathered buckets for to ice the drinks, and a *great* old red door used as a backdrop for a photo booth!



sam's beautiful sisters who are expecting!



the photo booth! when we had done a site visit with sam and steven we suggested a patterned fabric to hang for a photo booth and they came up with this old red door... we loved how it turned out. something about photo booths brings out the "silly" in everyone! :)

... { part III } coming shortly! :)
