kate + norm { married } flagstaff wedding under the san francisco peaks

kate and norm are hotshots... they go out and fight all those crazy wildfires. they decided to have their flagstaff wedding under the san francisco peaks at their training camp. it's so sweet that they picked a location that was so sentimental to them, and where they have spent so much time.

their wedding was relaxed, beautiful, and so very, very personal. all the details can be credited to kim duncan, of kd events ... she is a must-have at weddings as she really does an amazing job creating themed details that pull together an event.

we were so very lucky that this noon wedding ( ...all photographers can tell you that midday is the *worst* time to get married because of the harsh light) had a canopy to soften the light. kate's sister is our good friend cameron (who is a fabulous photographer) and she was able to talk kate into adding this for photos ... so be sure to check out the amazingly gorgeous canopy and reception canopy kim duncan arranged! thank you gals! it made all the difference!

awww... the two sisters! cameron ended up having a gorgeous baby girl... she was just short of her due date at the wedding.

this amazing canopy saved the day and cut the harsh mid day light ... it is functional, beautiful, and tres chic ...

we *love* to get family candids during the ceremony ... this one was full of tears of joy and laughter

all the gorgeous details from the amazing and talented kim duncan of kd events

this series made me laugh out loud when i was editing ... the first is norm getting teary eyed... followed by a glance to his wife ... followed by the hand .... sooooo cute!

cheery kim ... bringing out the pies and cakes :)

during the first dance ... this is andrew's shot focusing on the girls about to cry while watching kate and norm

another series... the shot to the left is andrew's (kate and her dad dancing) and the shot on the right is katrina's (kate's mom watching them dance) ... it's great in that it shows two moments occurring simultaneously...

kate and norm make a gorgeous couple!

our favorite favorite shot ... the leaves just make such fabulous texture :: so, so pretty! :)
