Daniel and Kelsey were responsible for me making my first trip out to the state of Arizona. I can tell you all that 101 degrees of 'just dry heat' is still 101 degrees LOL.

Anyway I didnt get the chance to travel around and see as much of the place as I would have liked but from what little I did see I can say that Arizona is very beautiful, just like the people who got married last weekend!

The actual wedding took place in the evening at a quaint little historic venue known as the Stillwell House and the whole affair was intimate, classy and fun.

Here's my take on things...

I'm not personally a big soccer fan - something about scores like nil to nil just doesnt sit well with me - but that notwithstanding I had some fun the other day with my friends James and Marie at their son Malachai's soccer match. Youth sports are always fun because the kids havent learned to take themselves too seriously just yet!

This game was a part of the Upward sports ministry program which is available to churches all across the country.

Here are a few photos from the match...

Tracey and Chris have the look of one of those couples who are really perfectly suited to one another. You can just see that in 50 years they will be celebrating yet another anniversary of this great occasion with their beautiful family!

Their wedding was held at the historic Shiloh Baptist Church in Washington DC and was simply a grand affair from start to finish.

The reception took place at the elegant Omni Shoreham hotel where they spared no expense in creating the perfect atmosphere with the help of magnificent floral arrangements by Convention Floral and the impeccable coordinating efforts of LeKhessa from With This Ring Designs.

As you can no doubt tell, this couple did their homework and know how to put on a wedding to remember!!! But enough of the preamble, here are a few shots from the day that I hope you enjoy:
