Gorgeous bride, gorgeous venue, gorgeous dress, gorgeous bouquet, gorgeous wedding. The end. It was a little warm that day but Kara & Barry had lovely Montelucia wedding photos in Paradise Valley. These two were so sweet together and it was obvious how special they are to their family and friends. And the day went off without a hitch thanks to the impeccable planning of Patty Packard at I Do, I Do Wedding Specialists. I was honored to be able to 2nd shoot this wedding with Rachael Kuivinen Photography.
Kara & Barry chose to do a first look which I always suggest, not only for time’s sake but also because it is a special, private moment to share between each other. I love the look on Kara’s face as she goes in to hug her soon-to-be husband for the first time! And he is so happy to see her, and can reach up to wipe the tears from her eye. This is a moment that is truly more personal than seeing each other for the first time when you are standing in front of all your family and friends. You have time to hug, cry, laugh, embrace and just take each other in before the craziness of the rest of your day begins.
They had rehearsed and performed a choreographed first dance! It was so fun and the guests all cheered and clapped for them!
