becky + eric { sedona wedding at los abrigados }

becky waited patiently for eric to return her, and his daughter ella, from war. while eric was deployed, she and he made big plans for their wedding, which would be an intimate gathering of close friends and family in sedona.

becky is graphic artist, and so designed the wedding herself. we found it to be very well done!

we were honored to be a part of their wedding celebration, and we wish them years of happiness :)

ceremony:: los abrigados, creekside site
reception:: tlaquepaque, patio de las campanas
transportation:: sedona trolley
floral:: mountain high floral of sedona
cake:: created by family friend, and rescued by andrea carusetta of sedona cake couture after an accident.

..i ( andrew) was particularly emotional upon seeing this soldier, groom, husband, loving dad, dancing with his daughter... they love each other so much and you can really see it in every interaction she has with him, and he with her...

this was also an emotional moment, and really summed up all the work and anticipation that came into play for this wedding.. they both really worked hard to get to this moment, and i was very happy for them..

we would like to say a ' THANK YOU!' to all members of the armed forces for the sacrifices you make to keep us safe....
