Ryan + Stephanie at La Mariposa

This first picture above was taken the day before Stephanie and Ryan's wedding. But just loved it so much I had to share.

Ryan and Stephanie had their wedding and graced the grounds of La Mariposa in Tucson . The grounds here were stunning and one of the best backdrops I have seen yet. The picture below is just...........AMAZING.

Words just do not do it justice. It is poetic and romantic.

A wedding photographers paradise.

Stephanie's entrance in the ceremony was a long walk across the grounds, through the trees and up to the gazebo to the love of her life. Sigh.......

There is a wonderful pond across from the gazebo. Green grass, green trees....for those of you that want to steer away from the desert look, this place is for you.




I just have to sigh again.....................OMG!!

Look at these beauties.








The guys - handsome and they have their game face on.

Each table had a card in the center that told about a special place or thing that meant something or intimate to Ryan and Stephanie.

The dance floor inside has a very large round sky window looking up into the clouds and shows the night stars once the sun goes down.

They light up the gazebo at night and we get to take some of our fav romantic shots under the stars.



Sparklers were brought out to lighten up thier exit. Always great for sending off the happy couple as they leave to thier honeymoon.

Ahhhhhhhhh
