Mr. + Mrs. Bender: October 16, 2010 {Pictures}

Written by on in Tidbits and Treats, Wedding

Wow, everyone! I’m blown away by your kind words and thoughts on our wedding ceremony. I am so glad you liked the video and our picture slideshow! Your comments made me laugh, cry and smile as I read them over and over again.

Hopefully I can bring life to the second part of our special day in this post…because once the ceremony was over, it was time for picture taking!

Once Bobby and I had signed the marriage license, the wedding party got some fun shots around the gorgeous Our Lady of Joy church. The weather was phenomenal – 80 degrees and dry, with crystal clear blue skies and sunshine that warmed us to the core.

One of my very favorite shots. 🙂 I fell in love with these archways when I first laid eyes on this church and our photographer, Shelly Ivy, did a perfect job of capturing their beauty.

Serious pose (clearly, I have trouble looking serious):

Not so serious:

When we finished up at the church, we all got back in the limo and popped more champagne!

We headed back to my house to grab a quick snack of pinwheel sandwiches, veggies and fruit tarts before heading back up to the Cochise-Geronimo Clubhouse for some fun pictures on the golf course!

The group packed into golf carts and explored greens, pathways and clubhouses. The highlight was when we saw a bobcat walking across the course, only yards away from where we were standing!

My uncle pointed out that it was meant to be since Bobby and I are Northwestern Wildcats. 😉

You can click on the thumbnails to enlarge the photos! They are from our wedding slideshow. We get the rest of our pictures back next week and I can’t WAIT to see them!

The last two of Bobby and me were taken during the perfect Arizona sunset. I love them!

While we were out taking pictures, our guests were slowly arriving at the reception area for the cocktail hour. You can read all about it in Melissa’s post. Thanks for an awesome recap, lovely!

And yet, there was still so much fun to be had…

…and tears to be shed. The toasts at our wedding were my #2 favorite (with #1 being getting married!) part of the day. Bobby’s brother and best man Jim, my bestie and maid of honor Sam, Papa Bender and my absolutely INCREDIBLE baby brother Eric stole the spotlight, all in unique and beautiful ways.

My hubby also prepared an amazingly sweet toast for me. 🙂 Once again, I don’t think I can do them and the rest of our reception justice without another post. I sincerely hope that you are enjoying these recaps as much as I enjoy writing them! Part three to come soon!

Food and cake pictures will also be included!!

Abrazos,

  5. I love hearing about other people’s weddings, and seeing the photos. It’s amazing and heartening to see joy captured on film, when sometimes it’s so hard to remember to see it in real life!
    You looked beautiful, by the way 🙂

  6. Okay, so I’ve got to ask: where did you find that stunning dress?!?! I’m getting married this summer, and I’m looking for something not-too-poufy. 🙂 Your bouquet was gorgeous, by the way.

  7. The location…just gorgeous 🙂 You know I love AZ so much! Again- y’all just look so happy. I can’t wait to hear about his speech for you!!

  15. What a great wedding! I’m just catching up and you really do have the most extraordinary photos – kudos to your photog. Everything looks amaaaaazing and you can take that seriously because I love stalking wedding pics on Facebook and your wedding looks way better than most that I’ve “seen” this year. 🙂 Stunning dress, Mrs. Krennder. (Are you going to change the blog name? Hehe)

    • I can’t recommend my photographer enough! Thank you so much for the sweet words, Diana – they mean a lot! I love stalking weddings on Facebook, too. 😉 No plans to change the blog name yet, but that’s definitely an idea!

  16. Your photographer was amazing. You got some great pictures that I’m sure will look even more gorgeous when you frame them!

  17. The pictures are all absolutely incredible. You look so so stunning. What a wonderful wedding Mrs Jenn Krenn. I just LOVE that your name rhymes 🙂
    And that bobcat, TOO funny. How fitting!

  18. I had so much fun flipping through the slideshow you posted the other day–your photographer did an amazing job of capturing “your essence.”

  19. I secretly love all the fun professional wedding photos people have done. I think that would be one of the main things I would splurge on if someday I ever get married – a kick ass photographer. And of course the food 😉

  24. The pictures turned out amazing like everything else!! You guys clearly had one of the best days ever. I am dying to see cake and food pics too! 🙂 🙂
