A Heber Arizona wedding by Phoenix Wedding Photographers Ryan & Denise

Taking the Bar Exam is a defining moment in every future lawyers life. For Christina and Mike, it was the beginning of something even greater than a career in law. On a day that was all about stress, studying and loads of pre-sharpened number two pencils, a chance encounter with a fellow test taker would mark the beginning of their love story. And yes, in case you’re wondering, they both passed the bar in spite of the distraction that comes from meeting the future love of your life. LOL!

Christina and Mike became Mr. and Mrs. at the All Season’s Lodge in Heber-Overgaard, Arizona. The location was a perfect fit for this laid back couple and a handful of their closest family and friends. It was an ideal spot for a beautiful wedding day filled with sweet, rustic charm.

Christina and her maid of honor got ready in a lovely suite above the reception space where they’d be dancing the night away with family and friends in a few short hours.

First look time!

Gotta love Mike’s stamp of approval :-)

We all jumped in the car and headed out to a scenic lookout point overlooking the rim for some more portraits.

Love this cute shot of Christina and her long time bestie Rosemary :-)

Shooting a bride & groom in a field of wildflowers – YES PLEASE!

Mike was such a crack up! Love that he threw a bit of his own personality into this shot. It was completely unprompted by us.

We headed back to the lodge to make things official.

Love these great moments!

Marriage licence signing doesn’t make the blog very often, but since these two are both lawyers, they took it pretty seriously. LOL!

Rosemary and her hubby were pretty adorable, taking cover on the porch together as it started to rain.

The loft gave us a chance to get a unique perspective on the first dance.

And let me tell you, these lawyers know how to party! So much fun!
