Ronica and Breyon bling it up!


Ronica & Breyon were married March 25th 2012.  The setting was the beautiful Desert Ridge Marriott.  If I had to describe their wedding in one word, I would have to say glamorous.  Her dress was classy and full of bling as well.  I fell in love with her dress while shooting it hanging, and then again when I saw Ronica's amazing slender curvy figure in it.  I had over 1300 images from this wedding to edit and that doesn't include my apprentice's which I have yet to go through.  The main request from Ronica and her mom was 'fun' photos.  That is one of my favorite things to do, so I did what I do!  Fun wedding.  Well put together by Debra (MOB).  Congrats to Ronica and Breyon!





This was when they first saw Ronica in her dress-- she didn't let anyone see her dress (even on the hanger) until the last minute.  They were in awe (as I was!)

 Make sure you click on some of these, especially this one, to see it enlarged.




When I said "Show me DIVA" their inner diva's came out to match how they looked, FABULOUS!


 Liked this one in sepia (above) and in color... couldn't decide a preference.



















 Someone suggested I put them in the middle of the bridge because the bridge was so neat.  Rule of 3rds doesn't agree and neither do I-- this following photo is so perfect.
 Probably my favorite shot of the day.  This is my creative juices at work.  Cool couch, cool positioning, and they loved sitting for a few minutes!  Brides and grooms don't get much down time...
 



 Ambiance was so pretty and inviting at the reception.  Candles, crystals, and special effect lighting in just the right places.  Beautiful!



Groomsmen are always giving me something interesting and different to shoot!
Utensil fight!

 They got down during their first dance-- yep during their first dance.  Very entertaining for the guests, and for me too!  I love it when the first dance is choreographed and/or planned!

Karla & B.J.

This is Karla & her fiance, B.J.  
Karla is the sister of Kim Horn, who is the one and only Master Bridal Consultant in Arizona.   It is such an honor to be chosen by Karla for her wedding, especially with all of her connections to the industry.  They are such a welcoming, wonderful family-- photographing them is easygoing and enjoyable.  We went to Tempe Center for the Arts on March 22, 2012 and shot from the roof top, interior (just a couple snaps), and the outdoor area all around TCA.  It was challenging because we had the sunset to beat, many pedestrians all about, and tons of gnats flying around (for the shots from the roof top).  But I think we did a great job regardless.  Looking forward to your Biltmore wedding in the fall!
