James and Rayna were married on August 27, one of the hotter days of this seemingly very short summer. Luckily, we were inside at the Valley River Inn for the majority of the day and managed to stay relatively cool. I think we would have all melted if it were not for the air conditioning! Here are some of my favorites from their wedding day and also their bridal session afterwards at King Estate Winery.

Rayna chose this exquisite Maggie Sottero gown and then had it custom taylored to make it her very own unique dress.  And these shoes!!!  Can you believe how amazing these Benjamin Adams are??

A.MAZ.ING!  I love shoes….and these did it for me.  :)

Rayna, you really were the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen!

And, James, nice cuff links!!!  :)  You looked sharp!

And then the veil…so absolutely perfect for this dress and this bride!

I couldn’t decide which image I liked better…color or B&W?

James and Rayna opted to NOT see each other before their ceremony….and these were the expressions I got…priceless.

The happy Mr. & Mrs…..

and their amazing group of attendants.  You guys were all awesome!

So, to stay cool, we just walked around the Valley River Inn and took a few shots after the ceremony.  I just love the light in the little corner of Sweet Waters…it was a little scary at first because it was so dark, but with my D3s, I think we pulled it off!

This cake from Sweet Life….so good!

A beautiful moment during their first dance as husband and wife.

I couldn’t resist another shot of the shoes…yours are sweet as well, James!  ;)

And here are just a few from our “After Session” at King Estate.  You guys are just too beautiful!  Thank you for being so much fun to work with.  And a special plug for Mr. Formal…the tux was perfect!
