{real wedding} carly + mark

A huge rainstorm hit two days before the wedding, leaving just enough time to bring clear skies and give Carly + Mark a picture-perfect wedding day!  Carly's sister #3 in a family near and dear to my heart, so seeing her walk down the aisle surrounded by family and friends was a good day!  

I love the way a groom looks at his bride...

The most gorgeous sisters!

Such joy!

My favorite moment!

Being friends with the photographer means you get a great shot of you & the husband/assistant + 7 month baby bump.  ;)

I think they're excited about being a Mr. & Mrs.!

The sisters performed rap they'd written for the bride, it was so cute!

This little guy had all the moves!

The DJ threw in some traditional Armenian songs for the groom's family; they got everyone on the dance floor!

Congrats again you two!

{engaged} carly + mark

It's so fun when you're not just working with "clients", you're working with friends!  Carly is sister #3 in a family I've known for years.  I was a bridesmaid in sister #1's wedding 11+ years ago, I coordinated sister #2's Visalia reception & sister #4 let me borrow her wedding dress for my own wedding!  Talk about generous!  Needless to say, I was over the moon thrilled for Carly when she announced her engagement to Mark.  Can't wait for their October wedding!

Enjoy these gorgeous photos from my friend Kelli Avila.
