Kimberly + Gary's Wedding at the Agave in Sedona

They were married on September 19th at the beautiful Agave of Sedona.



If anyone had seen Kimberly's shoes before the wedding, they would have known what she and Gary had been secretly planning and practicing ... an awesome hip hop "first dance." In fact, they were more nervous about performing their surprise for their guests than getting through their wedding ceremony.



Kimberly's sister surprised her with their mother's ring before the wedding ceremony. It was quite a tearful and sentimental moment, but it also brought joy by having a symbol of their mom present at Kimberly's wedding.



The day was amazing. Totally stormy with lightening and thunder, but once the wedding started... the rain stopped, the sky was dramatic, and the red rocks views from the Agave were unbelievably spectacular for Kimberly and Gary's wedding. Rev. Andrew Murphy of Heart of Sedona Weddings performed a really thoughtful ceremony. Kimberly's beautiful flowers were created by none other than Bliss Extraordinary Floral of Sedona, of course.

Kimberly totally enjoyed her wedding, every single moment, which she said she waited a long time for ... sometimes it just takes a while to meet the right one. And it's absolutely worth it (but it would be nice knowing when you're in your twenties that your dreams will come true, albeit for some of us, speaking from experience, a little later than expected perhaps.)



Gary's killer smile.



Kimberly is the master of expression ... she was super fun to photograph!



And then they were pronounced husband and wife ... what a stellar reaction.



We stayed on-site for romantic portraits so Kimberly and Gary could enjoy their reception as soon as possible. I love this portrait of the two of them!



Kimberly looked stunning in her wedding dress.



And here is their surprise dance. Projected on the wall behind them it says, "Today I will Marry my friend, the one I laugh with, live for, dream with, love." Wow.



His reaction says it all ... their dance was a hit!

Bobby Russell of Sedona Sounds kept the energy up and the party going with a great selection and timing of music.



And Bonnie of Rosalie's of Sedona created a breathtaking event and delicious food.



Kimberly & Gary's friends -- it was such a great celebration of love and starting a life together -- the spirit of happiness was shared by everyone.
