'Twas Two Days After Christmas...



and my brother got married!!! I even learned my lesson and took some pictures. However, the camera was a Christmas present, so neither Scott nor I were particularly adept at handling it. Obviously, we need practice!

Preston Aaron Carpenter and Monica Marie Anderson were married by Father Richard at St Odilia's. They will now be referred to with fondness as PAC and MAC.


The wedding party consisted of Groomsman Matthew Carpenter, Best Man Benjamin Carpenter, Matron of Honor Leticia Diaz, Bridesmaid Jennifer...(Sorry, Monica! I forgot her last name!).

Afterwards, we went to the Hilton El Conquistador and took pictures


The Perry Family-This first was such a cute picture. I was sad it was so dark. So I overexposed it to save the figures, if not the color. Someday, I will learn to photoshop as well as take pictures.



The Carpenter and McLeod children- minus Olivia who was not having an easy day, poor thing. I hope her wrist is doing better!


Almost all the Carpenter 3rd generation


The Carpenter 2nd generation



A great picture of Monica. Her dad looks a little surprised.

Trust me. Red eye reduction on this picture made it look worse. I'm working on it. SOMEONE, however, was impatient for pictures. So ignore the eye shine and notice that it is a pretty picture.


Last of all, we ditched the kids and headed over to Michaelangelo's for dinner courtesy of the newlyweds. Mmm! I tried out my night vision flash.


I turned off my flash and tried again.

Happily Ever After


Congratulations to Preston and Monica! May your marriage be full of joy and laughter!


...and full of children so that Preston can put his parenting DVDs to work. That was the awesomest Christmas Present Face EVER! Did anyone get a picture of it?!

The cake was done by the restaurant's pastry chef. It was pretty! And the camera is a Canon EOS60D. Scott and I did a lot of surveying, research, etc. and scalped that one up on a post black friday sale.

Preston Carpenter said...

Awesome pictures! Thank you for bringing you camera and taking some extra photos of the wedding. Thank you very very much

1- Wow! That's a lot of pictures!
2- What is that supposed to mean, "Like mother, like daughter, like granddaughter?"
3- Shouldn't it be PAC and MMAC? Because I, for one, am emphasizing the M. Next time I see Monica, I'll be calling her MMMMMMMMMMAC.

Okay, I'm done.
