~Ruthy and Andy’s Beautiful wedding~2/20/10

I’m excited to put up this post, because not only is it a wedding (which I love to capture) but it is a very good friend’s wedding.  My dear friend Ruthy.  I have been friends with Ruthy for about 8 or 9 years now and have experienced a lot of life and a lot of growing up.  It is so fun to see where the precious people in our lives end up on this crazy journey through life.  Ruthy and Andy met only a short time ago in Seattle, WA.  When they met, it was like the stars aligned and all was right in the world.  (AKA…God’s plan!!)   I was and still am smiling from ear to ear for my dear friend.

Their wedding was a beautiful and joyous occasion.  There were plenty of tears and even more laughter.  They were married in Flagstaff, AZ, of which I had never been. It is gorgeous there, and the winter wonderland they had on their wedding, otherwise known as a blizzard, made for a very cozy feel to the day.   I was still determined to take some of the photos outside…and we did it!  Though my fingers were literally frozen, I couldn’t complain because the girls were wearing short dresses and high heels.  What troopers they were!!!!

Enjoy the story of their day. :)

I had to start with this shot, because it's one of my favorites of Ruthy!  It captures exactly who she is, joyful and beautiful!

There was this awesome, huge tree in the middle of their reception place and it made for some fun photos!

I just can't get over how stunning Ruthy looked on her wedding day!  She was a movie star on the red carpet!

The absolutely adorable ladies!  Acting like they were in the Bahamas, but in fact were literally in the middle of a blizzard.

A few happy moments during the ceremony.  It really was a very beautiful ceremony but included a lot of laughs.  Andy started busting up laughing mid ceremony and had the whole congregation going. It was great!!

Isn’t it funny how either the girls are freezing or the guys are sweating? Nice work on a difficult weather day! What a beautiful wedding!
