Ahhhmazing and yummy light delighted Achilles and Melissa wedding day

Yummy summer light, beautiful mountain backdrop and a very special couple = AHHHH-MAZING photographs.  This is Achilles and Melissa.  Their ceremony was held at the Christ Community Church and reception at Saguaro Buttes.  The above picture just makes me sigh.  I love her beautiful red hair shimmering in the light with the veil flowing in the wind while in the arms of the man of her dreams.

Off to the church we went.  They were married at Christ Community Church.














































































I just loved the light and veil so much, I thought I would share a couple more.




















































The light just kept getting better and better and golden.

On to the reception and good times.  Here are some of her details and sweet candy bar.  Candy letters and invitations were created by a Fine Line.  Flowers by Bonjour and Bonnie Covic for the beautiful cake below.






































Ending our day with twinkling lights in the night.  Can you say romantic.  Congratulations to the both of you and may your lives be showered with love, sprinkled with laughter and seasoned with happiness.

Rachael and Frank - The continuation of World Travels starting at Saguaro Buttes

World travelers Rachael and Frank were wed at the beautiful and newly renovated Saguaro Buttes.  We love the versatility of backdrops provided at Saguaro Buttes.  You have the Desert, Green Grass and a beautiful flowing creek and pond.  Its the master mind of Pastor Dave.

Prior to the ceremony the couple chose to do a special meeting.  Jon and I arranged for Rachael and Frank to be on either side of a door, touch hands yet never see each other.  This is a very special way to say I love you yet keep the tradition of not seeing each other.  A very romantic moment.

As I mentioned Rachael and Frank are world travelers so their favors to guests were personalized travel bag tags.  Following the wedding Frank and Rachael went on a two month honeymoon traveling South America to Antarctica.  We talked them into writing a blog while on the trip so their family and us could see their fun adventures.  It was a trip of a life time.



We have spoke often in so many of our blogs....Ambrosia is our favorite Cake designer and the one we recommend.  So I caught Janie and her Husband as they were setting up the cake.

Love love love this idea for your guests.

Onto some fun dancing. They preformed a choreographed 1st dance. It was really cute.

Finishing the night with some beautiful night shots.

Isnt' this gorgeous.  Saguaro Buttes also used this in their new ad with the Tucson Bride and Groom Magazine .

Cake cutting adventure at Saguaro Buttes

Yikes, it is 2011!!!!!  And we started out our year with a bang on January 1, 2011.  1-1-11 wedding at Saguaro Buttes.  I am not going to show you the wedding of this simply amazing and FUN couple, but I am going to show a scene from their wedding.  LOL.  (Other pics to come at a later date)

I think Larry and Robin will appreciate the humor in my post. (At least now that it is over)  As this was one of the most animated Cake cutting's I have seen to date.  Please come with me on this comical wedding moment.

Oh, I must say, Robin and Larry are stunning.  Is it just me or Robin like a character out of a Hollywood movie and look at those baby blues.

Ahh, so all is going well, the cake is cut and they are ready to feed each other. They had promised to be nice before the cutting.

Then for some reason Larry sees a wicked little gleam in Robins eye.  He points the finger and warns....."Be Nice"

Apparently Robin did not see this playing out the same way.  Bam!!! In Larry's face.

Yes, Robin did not make it out clean either.  But victory and ahhhh, we are done and cleaning up.......BUT WAIT........IS IT??? 

OH Yes, the Groom did!!!!  Not only did he, but his Best man sandwiched her and proceeded to smash cake in her face.  Laughter and gasps filled the room.  Poor Robin.

But wait, What is this....the maid of Honor comes out of nowhere and slam dunks a huge piece of BLUE (you know it stains the skin) piece of cake all over the Grooms Face.  Booooya!!!!!!

And that my friends is how you cut your wedding cake. 

PS... Go back and look at bride and best mans expressions.  PRICELESS.

But to end this on a romantic note:  Since fireworks are now legal in AZ they had to let off a few.  Ahhhhhhh
