Jill and Brian’s wedding was such a joy to photograph because neither one of them stopped smiling the entire day. After photographing their , I knew that this is how their wedding day would be.. filled with fun and joy and surrounded by all of their friends and family… it was a perfect day in the desert.

Jill is so bubbly and could not stop smiling the entire day. Plus, she rocked those gorgeous orchids in her hair- loved!
I just loved the bridesmaids dresses she chose, and each of them wore this awesome statement necklace. Loved it!
Just before we left for the ceremony, Brian sent Jill a text: “I’m so excited. I can’t wait.” How cute is that??
Jill’s bouquet was gorgeous- and she completed it with this adorable customized charm she found on that had Brian & Jill’s initials and wedding date on one side, and “to have” on the other. Etsy is a must-try online mecca for anything hand-crafted- I could get lost on that site for hours! If you haven’t checked it out yet, you must soon! And don’t have your credit card nearby unless you plan to spend… lots. 🙂
It was just a bit windy during portrait time… I always love a good wind gust. 🙂
How fabulous was the back of her dress?
Brian, of course, was so handsome in his charcoal suit. He also didn’t disappoint with his incredible modeling skills, which I first learned about shooting their e-session.
The amazing ceremony took place at Sacred Heart Church in Palm Desert. I loved what Reverend Lincoln had to say about Jill and Brian, and about marriage and love. I wish I could have written it all down…
The whole wedding party looking mighty fine.
The day of their , I learned that Jill and Brian have a thing for jumping photos, so of course we had to do at least one on the wedding day. I’m thoroughly impressed by the height they both got!
Just before the reception, Jill and Brian had a few moments alone in a room that happened to have a piano- I sneaked in for a few shots of Brian serenading Jill. I had no idea that Brian was a musician- I just loved this moment.
Gotta love Summer nights in the desert.
The toasts were complete with emotional, teary-eyed moments…
And those of boisterous laughter…
And another thing I learned about Brian the night of the wedding… he used to be a break dancer!! So. COOL.
Jill and Brian- You are so, so delightful and I loved being able to photograph your wedding! I’m so happy for you both and with you all the happiness in your future together. 🙂
I love the playfulness of your work. Always makes me smile! Loved the veil play Heather. My favourite.
p.s. miss you.
Heather- the sneak peek is amazing, can’t wait to see the rest!! It was so great working with you… we couldn’t have picked a better photographer! You really captured what the day felt like… thank you so much!!
What a good lookin’ couple. And her dress is FABULOUS.
Oh so lovely Heather!!
These are beautiful. It looked like a fabulous wedding and I’m sure the couple is super happy with these pictures. Great work!
