Wedding Party
Kristin
Bride
Born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, she eventually found her way to Prescott. She is someone who truly wears her heart on her sleeve, capturing every precious moment through her lens and never letting a memory fade. Above all, she cherishes time spent with family and friends. Now, she is overjoyed to be marrying her forever person-her best friend and the male version of herself.
Nicole
Maid of Honor
Kristin’s best friend and “ride or die” Nicole is the definition of a “friends to the end” kind of person. As a future RN with a heart of gold, she is always reaching for greatness and pushing those around her to do the same. Whether she’s acting as the voice of reason or the first person to offer support, Nicole’s loyalty knows no bounds. Kristin couldn’t imagine walking down the aisle without her steady hand and big heart by her side.
Aiyana
Maid of Honor
As Kristin’s daughter and of her closet friends, Aiyana has been by her mother’s side through every one of life’s challenges. While being “two peas in a pod” has certainly led to its share of fiery moments, it’s the shared spirit that makes their bond so unbreakable. A recent Criminal Justice graduate with a drive to succeed, Aiyana is a powerhouse in her own right. She stands here today not just as a daughter, but as a best friend who loves her mom “like crazy.”
Veronica
Bridesmaid
Every bride needs a “ride or die,” and for Kristin, that’s Veronica. Known for being as real as they come, Veronica is a die-hard friend who always has your back, no matter the situation. While she might be beautifully unpredictable and “wild at heart,” her randomly loving and caring ways never go unnoticed. With a huge heart and smile to match, she’s the kind of friend who loves fiercely and stays loyal to the very end.
Sharon
Bridesmaid
A former work colleague who quickly became a lifelong friend, Sharon is the “hide the body” type of friend everyone needs. A fellow true-crime junkie and a massive foodie, she and Kristin have shared countless laughs over great meals and mysterious cases. Don’t let her big heart fool you, though-she’s a fierce competitor and a sharpshooter who is “dead on” with anything that has sights. Whether they’re scouting the best local eats or solving a cold case from the couch, Sharon is a loyal as they come.
Santina
Bridesmaid
Santina and Kristin have been inseparable since middle school, navigating every season of life side-by-side. From the awkward days of growing up to the beautiful milestones of adulthood, they have shared deep thoughts and countless laughs, cherishing every memory and a friendship that has survived every hardship. Now the group’s go-to aesthetician, Santina brings beauty to everyone she touches-both inside and out. As a faithful friend who consistently prays for Kristin and her friend’s happiness and success, she is a cornerstone of loyalty and a true sister for life.
Natashia
Bridesmaid
A cornerstone of the “middle school trio,” Natashia has been making memories with Kristin and Santina since they were kids. A thriving business owner with a “ride or die” mentality, she brings a contagious energy and a whole lot of love to everything she does. Whether she’s conquering a mountain trail or helping Kristin navigate life’s biggest challenges, Natashia is the kind of friend who shows up with a full heart and a fierce spirit. Kristin is so proud to have this lifelong sister and outdoor adventurer by her side today.
Ashley
Bridesmaid
As Kristin’s big sister, Ashley has been a constant presence by her side since day one. Though they are close in age, Ashely has always stepped into the role of protector and confidante, offering a depth of unconditional love that only a sister can. From their childhood days of being “pushed in a bush” to navigating the complexities of adulthood, they have shared a lifetime of challenges and triumphs. Theirs is a special, unspoken bond-a sisterhood that is as deep as it is enduring- and Kristin is honored to have her lifelong partner-in-crime standing right where she belongs.
Abree
Bridesmaid
As Kristin’s youngest daughter and “spirt child,” Abree shares a bond with her mom that is truly one-of-a-kind. More than just mother and daughter, they are the ultimate best friends. At just 15, Abree has a heart of gold and a sweet soul, consistently putting others before herself. She is unapologetically her own person, possessing a big spirt and a protective nature when it comes to her “momma.” Truly Kristin’s heart walking around outside her body, Abree is the perfect final piece to the bridal party.
Greg
Groom
Ohio-born and Arizona-raised, he is a chef at heart and an explorer by nature. Driven by a love for the outdoors, he’s most at home where the sun is shining and food is cooking. While his passions keep him busy, his heart belongs to his future forever wife, his greatest partner in life and adventure.
Rico
Best Man
Rico is more than a friend; he’s the ultimate teammate. Born in San Diego, California and raised in East LA, he and his family now reside in Northern Arizona but make frequent trips back home. If he isn’t making people’s car dreams come true, you can catch him at a car show enjoying old classics. Introduced through Kristin’s best friend, and also maid of honor, he’s been a constant source of support and loyalty ever since. From lending a hand to being a ‘’ride or die’’ through it all, I’m proud to have him as my Best Man.
Andrew
Groomsman
Andy may be a more recent addition to the crew, but he’s quickly become a mainstay. A fellow lover of the outdoors and a talented maker of handmade soaps, he shares a passion for the trail and the open air. Currently hailing from Colorado, Andy and his future wife Natasha, also a bridesmaid, are preparing for their own big adventure- their second home in Arizona. I’m honored to have him stand with me today and he officially joins the “desert squad.”
Aiven
Groomsman
Aiven is Greg’s oldest son and a true testament to strength and character. A gentle soul with a massive heart, he is a dedicated hard worker who pours his soul into everything he does-including his passion for boxing. Though his journey hasn’t always been easy, his resilience has shaped him into the man Greg is immensely proud of. Currently residing in Ohio with his high school sweetheart, Aiven’s presence today is a powerful reminder that love and family know no distance. Greg is honored to have his eldest son by this side for this milestone.
Braeylen
Groomsman
Braeylen is more than just Greg’s son; he is one of his favorite people in the world. At 16, Braeylen is already a voice of reason, possessing a kind soul and wisdom well beyond his years. Whether they are bonding over a shared love of sports or intense video game sessions, their “father-son” connection only grows stronger with time. He is Greg’s “little buddy” for life, bringing a constant stream of love and joy to the family. Having him stand at the alter is the greatest memory they’ve made yet.
Nathaniel
Groomsman
Nathaniel is proof that family is defined by heart, not just blood. At only 16, he carries the wisdom of an “old soul” possessing an intuitive nature and a deep empathy for everyone around him. Known for his sharp sense of style and love for looking his best, he brings a unique flair to the wedding party. Greg is incredibly proud of the hard-working, humble, and loving young man Nathaniel has become through all of life’s challenges. He stands here today not just as a groomsman, but as a son in every way that counts.
Jantzen
Groomsman
The youngest of the trio and the undeniable life of the party, Jantzen brings a big spirit and fearless energy to everything he does. At 15, he is always on the go-whether he’s out with his buddies or finding a new adventure or a spot to fish. Popular with everyone he meets, Jantzen has a kind soul and protective heart that is always looking out for those around him. Greg is incredibly proud of the young man he is becoming: a brave, kind-hearted soul who is isn’t afraid of any challenges. He’s the perfect final piece to the groomsmen lineup.
