Beka at the Desert Botanical Garden

My photographer Rebekah shot the wedding of Jenna and Danny earlier this month and I'm totally in love with it.  Before I even saw the pictures, she emailed me saying "It was my favorite ceremony and first dance to date. I cried and laughed more than I ever have at a wedding."  Their gorgeous day was celebrated at the Desert Botanical Garden, one of my favorite places, and was full of laughter from start to finish.  The true passion Rebekah has for wedding photography shines in her pictures like that golden light through the Garden's trees.  It's inspirational.  And one more element is obvious here, Jenna and Danny are madly in love with each other.  

Tempe Portraits

Asking a couple to kiss and hang all over each other is a given during portrait sessions.  "You guys just ignore me over there and make out for a little while."  As if they didn't have a gazing crowd while I'm in the middle of the road being honked at.  But with Inbal and Adam, I actually had to ask them to stop making out.  Their deep passion for each other kept the embraces long and tight.  We also tied in important elements like Adam's Bronco and airplanes to represent the many rendezvous they've enjoyed during long-distance periods of their relationship as well as desert backdrops since they're moving out of Arizona... out of the country all together.
