Ann & Dustin's Wedding

Ann & Dustin were married on Saturday in Anchorage on the beach near Kincaid Park. Ann asked me to help her with her hair and makeup so I recruited Heather and we came armed with the curling iron and some other hair and face products!

Ann said, no hair products! and then we had her agree to some mousse. And then it became apparent that we needed to use the hairspray because her hair is so soft that the curls were not going to stay. She didn't even flinch when I started spraying!

the finished product. not bad for a couple of amateurs!

the finishing touches

and a little whiskey to calm the nerves

We all met up in the parking lot at Kincaid Park and walked the 0.5 mile down to the beach.
The ceremony was beautiful and skies lightened up that evening!



Weddings are perfect for reunions! The Kaufmans made the trek down from Fairbanks and got my Kieran time in! He's still a cutie!

A little time with Bennett

Melonie, Tom, Dave & I were designated champagne dispensers.

She's grown so much and has turned into a beautiful young lady.
So nice to see you Grace!

me & Naomi!
FINALLY. but we really didn't get a chance to properly catch up. hopefully soon.
