Rachel & David’s Phoenician Resort wedding photos are so beautiful!  These two New Yorkers wanted to bring the beauty of Arizona to their wedding guests with a classic black tie wedding.  It was a gorgeous day surrounded by family and friends, a Jewish ceremony at sunset, topped off with a spectacular ballroom reception.

I asked Rachel to tell me about how she met David, and how he proposed:

We met at a Shabbat dinner at a friends apartment!  There weren’t enough chairs, so we ended up sharing a chair and talking all night.  The next day he tracked down my phone number and the rest is history!

We got engaged in Venice, Italy!  It was the end of a ten day trip to Barcelona, Florence and Venice.  The first day in Venice he planned a surprise Gondola ride for us, and got down on one knee in the middle of the ride.  We then celebrated back at the hotel with champagne and surprise chocolate strawberries and goodies from my parents!  It was right out of a fairy tale.

Congrats you two!  Thank you for having me with you and trusting me to document the first day of your marriage!
