‘A few weeks ago Iwas able to go to AZ to shoot rinda + james wedding. You might remember them from their rocking engagement session. Their wedding started out at the LDS Temple in Mesa. We met early to get some fun shots.
Rinda designed a beautiful simple backyard reception. They used their friends’ backyard, that had a gorgeous courtyard, as well as a barn. Rinda kept the evening simple but very classy. She hung paper laterns from the trees and had tea lights in mason jars as you walked up to the main yard. Rinda then made the cutest centerpeices from glass vases, candles, and yes ..…grapefruit (which match her colors perfectly). Her and James handpicked classic oldies music that echoed throghout the backyard …setting the perfect mood. We started the evening by hanging a “vintage type” sheet from a tree for some fun photos.’ rinda
