I do believe I get to photograph the best couples in the world! Dave and Beth are no exception. They both have wonderful loving families that I was blessed to spend the day with. We started out at Lowe’s Ventana Canyon where Beth got ready.
The dress

Loved the shoes!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous…

The ceremony was small and intimate but BIG on LOVE. The venue was the Tucson Botanical Gardens, it was lush, colorful and perfectly complimented their ceremony. The early evening light was a joy to shoot in. Both of Beth’s parents walked her down the aisle
Dave was overwhelmed when he saw Beth.
and Beth was overwhelmed too.
There were many joyous tears
Love the next one
The unity sand was unique; both families provided sand from the Bride and Groom’s hometowns
The kiss
Walking into forever
After the ceremony we had a little time for formals. How perfect, the tiles on the wall behind them with Brides and Grooms from years gone by
Yowza, love this one!
Some details from the day
It wouldn’t be one of my wedding posts without a ring shot. ![]()
Thank you Dave and Beth for sharing your day with me! Wishing you all of the happiness your big hearts can handle.
P.S. Beth, I’m glad Dave finally got your number right; you two are perfect for each other. ![]()

“Yowza” is right, Maria! I didn’t even know them and I had tears in my eyes. You did an artfully masterful job of capturing not only the events, but the emotions that made them so very special. It makes me wish I could get married again, just so I could have you come and take pictures!
