Wedding at the Riviera Resort in Palm Springs.

June 10th, 2009 by Zach | 12 Comments

May was a nice, light wedding month for us- with only 2 of them. Mark and Kenna got married at the end of May at the beautiful Riviera Resort in Palm Springs. Even for May it was in the high 90s, but luckily only the ceremony was outside and most of the appeal of the Riviera Resort is the insane decorations on the inside. This venue was very different from the outdoorsy, green weddings we normally shoot, so it was a nice change of scenery for us. Mark and Kenna are an amazing couple that were truly in love and you can really see that through the photos. June is now in full swing- 4 weddings, and lots of family shoots and engagement shoots, so keep an eye on the blog as it will be hopping here in a few weeks.

Kenna read her vows from her iphone. I love how she did <3 for heart

Kenna’s dad was awesome! He used to be a wedding photographer himself, and actually stopped while he was walking her down the aisle to take a photo with his point and shoot!

Love this one of Mark- he was a genuinely nice and happy guy and this photo really captures his personality.

They did a ceremony tradition called “jumping the broom” It originated from slaves who weren’t allowed to marry, so they came up with their own way of making it official- jumping over a broom.
