 Being a wedding photographer is such a fun job, especially when you meet a couple like Joel and Sandra.  Fun, kind hearted and loving is how I would describe them.  Which makes sense that they met at a friends game night playing Rock Band!!  You can see the couples fun personality come out in the details and colors of the their wedding.  Joel and Sandra were married at The Franciscan Renewal Center in Scottsdale.  At The Franciscan Renewal Center has some great gardens and that is where you would find this great wood swing.  Sandra really wanted to incorporate the swing into some of her wedding pictures.  Inside this lovely church no flash allowed.  That is ok with me, look at the great natural light.  I love the above picture of Sandra and her parents.  Look at her daddy beaming with pride!  The couple sat in front facing all their friends and family.  Such a great touch.  Did I mention ho...
