Jen + Desh got married on what *may* have been the hottest saturday of this year… many an A/C break were taken and many (many) a snow cone & zoo slurpee were drunk, but everyone had fun AND I got to pet a teeny tiny little armadillo! (MUCH cuter than you would think)

I love how somehow her corset looks like basket weave!

and (finally) an appearance from the dashing Desh

A quick first look & then we’re off to the church!

back to where it all began… a big shout out to the people at Pi Pizzeria who let us invade them for a few minutes! (J&D had their first date there!!)

I love the dusty miller in these bouquets

I love this little moment

one of my favorites spots from the day….

Hippopotamus photo bomb!

adorable otter cake topper

The gents in the wedding party received really realistic looking light sabers as their gift… and they travelled with us to the zoo too!

Thanks for braving the heat and being good sports!  with love, kate
