January 24th, 2015 was an amazingly blessed day for Paul and I, as we committed our lives to the service of the other. Here is a window into that most special day! A very special thank you to Tia and Shane Brant of Images by Brant for capturing our day in such a spectacular way!
WHO: Analiesse and Paul Carter with dearly loved friends and family
WHAT: Declaring our love and promise to stand by one anothers' side to the end.
WHEN: January 23rd-24th, 2015
WHERE: The evening of January 23rd and morning of January 24th was spent in fellowship at the beautiful home of The Smiths, an extraordinarily generous couple who gifted us the use of their property in the countryside of Oregon for the weekend. The wedding ceremony and reception was held at Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom in downtown Portland, Oregon.
WHY: Because we love each other! And will be spending the rest of our lives with one another, with God as our Commander and Keeper.

Oh my god! I can’t take my eyes off these pictures. The photographer has captured every moment fantastically! I loved the dresses girls! I can’t believe I am also getting married this year. My friends are looking for event halls for rent to throw a bachelorette party for me. I am nervous!
