Nov 23rd 2008 04:23 pm Jill & Dan’s Wedding!
Jill and Dan were married at the lovely Miramonte Resort and Spa in Indian Wells, CA (very near Palm Springs). They had an amazing celebration thanks to Laurie and her staff from The Events Department, and of course Hillary, my good friend and catering manager at the Miramonte. The details were fabulous, the guests were lively and the whole day was just a blast. Thanks to Hayley for helping me out on this one — it’s always a good day with her around.
This wedding was actually my last scheduled wedding of the year! It’s been quite the wedding season. I’ve had the best time working with all of my clients this year and now I’m looking forward to having a few weekends off, shooting more portraits, as well as working on some other projects I’ve wanted to get started. I hope to even set up a just-for-fun shoot with models, hair, make-up — the whole nine yards — where I can really experiment with different technique. Any one interested in modeling?? 
Anyway– on to the many photos of this fabulous wedding!
Here’s Jill getting ready with the help of her Maid of Honor.
A twist on the shoe shot– you know me and shoes!
Love this!
The flowers by City of Commerce Flowers were AMAZING! This bouquet was a real beauty– and weighed a ton!
The gorgeous bride. How incredible are her eyes??
Dan looking all dashing.

Jill, Dan and Dan’s son Bradley who was truly the life of the party!
Dan with his nephew. Such a cutie.
The ceremony. I adore Dan’s expression as he saw Jill walking down the aisle.
Yeah… did I mention the flowers were amazing?
Married!
All of the incredible details.
Dan and Jill’s reaction to Bradley’s Best Man toast. That kid knew how to work a room!
We set up an impromptu photo booth for the guests…
Hayley and I had some fun with the rings and the props they had for the photo booth. I can’t decide my favorite between the two.
The First Dance.
Jill and Dan — Thanks so much for a great day! Congratulations!!
