Mari and Luis at Skyline Country Club

Ok, so get ready for mucho details.  This day was so jammed packed with events, moments and special touches.  This day was all about Mari and Luis and their beautiful wedding day.

Once the hair and make up was finished we headed over to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque Church.  Guest were sat, wedding party assembled and the brides gorgeous gown and veil were being straightened out. Jon caught this sweet shot of Mari turning to look at her veil.

Here are some of the details with the adorable flower girls.

The Church was beautiful and we were lovin the balcony.  Two photographers - you get two angles!!!   Look closely, you can see Georgina bent down to the left of the Priest, taking photos of the Bride coming down the isle, while Jon is is the balcony getting this amazing areal view.

Oh, yes they had a Mariachi band during the ceremony.  Have I mentioned we looooooove Mariachi's. 

The newly wed couple and all the guests were requested to meet outside the Church for a releasing of Butterflies.  The children went crazy and loved every moment.

They were landing everywhere including on the Bouquet and on the Brides hands.

Then we were off to Skyline Country Club.  Here is a photo of their entire wedding party.  Yes, it was a large group.

Here are only a few of the details adorning the reception.

They had a trio playing lovey music as the guest arrived and ate dinner.

Then............the real party began.  Out came the Tequila shots.  They toasted with tequila instead of Champagne......My kind of people.  I would so do that. 

They threw the best party/reception I have ever seen.  A Live Band led the entire night with dance music, entertainment and hours of fun.  The band did different acts, music artist imitations and supplied the guest with party hats and props.  Through out the night the band dressed in costumes like a Mardi Gras.  Balloons and confetti fell through on their heads and clowns walked around on stilts.  The dance floor was NEVER empty.  There was nothing but smiles and laughter everywhere you looked.

We were blessed with an amazing sky and sunset.  I hope you enjoyed seeing this wedding and hope maybe it will get your creative juices flowing.  Make it yours and make it fun. 

Happy planning!!

Chris and Cassidy Engagement Session

We were so excited when Cassidy said her dad was letting them bring his antique car.  It is an exquisitly conditioned Chevrolet BelAir.  It was Saaaaaaweeeeeet.

There were so many amazing pics, it was hard to pic just a few.  The charisma between the two was off the charts.  We are very excited for their wedding coming up in a few months.

Chris and Cassidy were a ton of fun and a great sense of humor.

Once we finished up with downtown we headed up to GatePass for a few desert shots.

Thanks for taking a peek.   We hope to see all you future Brides at the Bridal show this Sunday, August 8th at the TCC.

Tom and Stephanie - A Wedding packed with Personality

Congratulations to Tom and Stephanie.  Married this spring in Tucson, Arizona.  Their ceremony was held at the beautiful and historic St. Philips Church.  The reception was held at Sheraton Hotel and Suits.

As you will see they jam packed their personality into this wedding.  For the love of the Wedding God's people, you need to do this.  Personality, Personality and yes more personality is what makes your wedding memorable-personable and perfect.

I hope you enjoy their story.

 

Can a Church seriously get any better than this.  Love our Tucson heritage.

The reception is where you really see the personal touches come alive.  To start, here is the 4-tiered cake made by my all time favorite cake maker - Ambrosia

Abrosia went above and beyond with the Grooms cake.  Camping is one of the couples favorite activities so Stephanie surprised Tom with this amazing personalize Groom Cake.  All the people and props in the cake are edible.  Check out the detail.

We added a little ambiance to the pic.  LOVE IT!!!

Stephanie and Tom put together this scrumptious table of yumminess.  Color coordinated in cute jars and stacked in different heights.  What a Delicious surprise for the guest and great tummy and eye candy.

They put together a special kiddy room packed with toys, games and prizes.  It gave the little ones a place to retreat to when they needed some kid time away from all those crazy adults.

I know I harp on this alot, but girls, those dogs get tired after a long day of being a princess.  So dress those puppies up.  Stephanie chose this amazing pair of purple tennies that she had embroidered with the words "Tied the knot".  SSSooooooooooo cute.

As the night winded down, the couple started a conga line in the reception.  Everyone was encouraged to join the dance.  Tom/Stephanie led the entire reception party down the stairs and to the pool.  To the surprise of all the guests, the couple took the ultimate plunge.....they went feet first with Tux and Wedding dress in tow into the pool.  To Stephanie/Tom's surprise bridesmaids/groomsmen and a few guest joined them one by one by jumping in the pool with them.  The expressions and gasps from the guests was priceless.  It stopped all of the random hotel guest as this was a spectacle that most have not seen before.   

Now for S'MORE DETAILS.....LOL. (Pun intended.)  The gift to each of the guests was a small package containing ingredients to make their own s'more down by the fire pits.  Keeping in the camping theme.

So I leave you with our sweet couple snuggled in each others arms and ending the evening with such love and romance.  Thank you Tom and Steph for allowing us to be a part of your amazing day.
