Rana and Emery – Zaffa

The Zaffa is an ancient tradition…it is a grand entrance that includes musicians playing the zaffa rhythm on percussion instruments, belly dancers with candelabras, men with swords…and of course the bride and groom!

I love this custom, and Rana and Emery’s night was filled with unique performances and wedding dances. Before long, all the guests joined the couple and danced the ENTIRE night…it really was an amazing night!

Erin and Eric – Toscana Country Club

What a beautiful setting in Palm Springs for a wedding! Erin got ready at her mom’s house…we were setting-up for the “first look” shot (where the groom sees the bride for the first time), and as Erin’s dress was being bustled, Eric walked in ahead of schedule (!)…the look on his face was priceless, and it was a moment that was shared by everyone in the room…perfect!

Love…Family…Friends. Erin’s brother and mother walked her down the aisle, Eric and Erin wrote their own vows to each other, and family members participated in the ceremony with words and music.

The outdoor reception was gorgeous…add to that a hot band and they had a party that went well into the night!
