ALY+JONNY: CEDAR CITY, UTAH BACKYARD WEDDING

The days leading up to Aly+Jonny's wedding were SO windy.   That's Southern Utah style.  ;)  My family quickly learned this when we first moved to Utah.  I remember one wind storm where dirt was coming into our house via the gap between our back door and the floor (which was minuscule)!  My brother and I were wimps and stayed home from school that day...hehehe.  ;)  It's wild how our weather here can be wind&60-mile-an-hour gusts and the next day be sunny and high of 75.

And Aly & Jonny's day was just that.  Sunshineee!  :)  SO glorious.  After all the wind and storms it was nice to have the clouds back off.  BUT silly old me totally didn't wear sunscreen!  Haha!  First sunburn of the year and I deserved it.  ;)  A huge thank you to Parker Grimes, who allowed me to assist and second-shoot at this wedding!  You can view his post on his blog HERE.  Great stuff.

I fell in love with this venue as soon as I saw it.  I love the rustic houses in the old parts of Cedar City.  I can't wait to "nest" a home when I'm older, and I've always wanted to in this part of Cedar.  Jonny's aunt's backyard was incredible.



Everything in bloom!  :)



Love the plants growing up her brick house.  :)  See?  Exquisite venue.



Everyone was complimenting Aly on her floral head wreath the whole day.  How could you not?  Beautiful!







The guys.  So chill:

 


 

 

 

Yes, I was in the line of fire.  :)  Makes me giggle, but it's totally worth moments like this:



And then the partayyy started!  Yeahhhh!



I have to slip in a word about the barbecue dinner from Backyard BBQ based in St. George.  SO good.  Mmhmm.  Great customer service too.  Those guys rock.







Toasts are probably my favorite part of receptions.  It's great to hear stories from friends and family of the couple.  Like a glimpse of the personal relationships the bride and groom have.  Ahh, love.  :)
