They wrote a great blog post with 5 reasons to have a Micro Wedding.

Three of the reasons:

Elena and RW's Wedding

Elena and RW had a destination ceremony/reception. It was beautiful, intimate and at a private estate in AZ. It was perfection! They were all about creating memories with their best of friends and family and I am so grateful to have been included in this family's 2nd wedding celebration! I photographed the brides sisters wedding 10 years ago and it was such a blast seeing everyone again!

Amy & Brandon's AZ Micro Wedding with Meander Gatherings

Amy and Brandon chose Shenandoah Mill as their location for their AZ Micro Wedding to tie the knot! They found Meander Gatherings (the awesome micro wedding/pop-up wedding biz) and loved the idea, the concept and the metro van! 

Their guests all shared in the excitement and love as these two became one. It was a beautiful morning spent with all in attendance!!!

Monday Moments Of Me #234

Sometimes camping looks like the photo below... 

camping with can am at the cinders in flagstaff


Do you see the photo bomber? haha (bottom right corner)
Yes, the cat and dog go camping with us 99% of the time!

We went to the Cinders in Flagstaff in June to get out of the heat in the valley (Phoenix, AZ) and we actually came home a day early because it was TOO HOT. Yes, everyone was uncomfortable and there is no point in camping if all you are gonna do is hide out inside the trailer and run the air conditioner all day taking a nap. Good times were still had though.
I am always grateful to get away for a few days and enjoy the great outdoors :)

Kim and Jeff's Shenandoah Mill Wedding

As always, Shenandoah Mill provides rustic chic with a little glam! Kim and Jeff's wedding was just that! The energy and the smiles of the entire day were non stop and it was wonderful to witness. Jeff's attire was just too perfect, the white suit jacket and the gray pants matched so perfect with Kim's dress and flowers!

Monday Moments Of Me #233

Alright! I can not get enough of this cat. She literally will fit herself into any box, any. When a new box arrives at the house she impatiently waits for it to be opened and its contents moved out of her way so she can get in the empty box and lounge.

This Chewy box has it right...look in the bottom left corner. hahahaha

It isn't just my cat right?
