Montelucia and Villa Siena Wedding

A Villa Siena Wedding

What a celebration it was at Villa Siena!! I knew this was going to be great the moment I met Candace and Matt for their engagement session at Papago Park. They just overflow with kindness and energy!! When I found them in their dressing rooms the morning of the wedding there wasn’t an ounce of nervousness rather an excited anticipation of seeing each other as Matt stood at the front of the church and she walked down the long isle with her dad. As they exchanged gifts and a prayer (separated by a door) before the ceremony at the Montelucia Resort, Candace laughed out as she discovered they bought each other the exact same card, purchased from the same store!!! True love thinks alike.

As I sit here preparing their images I am reminded of a snippet of the Father of the Bride’s toast, welcoming his daughter’s new husband to the family… “Every father hopes that his daughter will find the right partner, and as a father you try not to interfere with that hoping that she finds a reliable, sensible, compassionate young man and it works out. Candace chose you, Matt, and she made a wise choice. It was a right choice a great choice and we are happy she made that choice.” Congratulations Matt and Candace!! I wish you all the best in the years to come!! BIG HUGS to you both!
