Vanessa & Gabriel *Wedding at the Tucson Art Museum*

V&GFigueroa_01

Last weekend I drove to Tucson for Vanessa and Gabriel’s wedding . I was really excited for this day ever since I met Vanessa and Gabe during their engagement session. They are such warm and welcoming people. I just knew their wedding would be filled with love, friends, laughter, dancing and a whole lot of smiles… And I was so right!

My friend Jenny came along with me and got some really great images. Make sure to check her blog for some more images of the day.

I think Vanessa is my first bride ever to put her dress on before make-up. Brave girl!

According to them, Stevie (Gabe’s nephew) was not only the ring bearer but also the official patron bearer. P.S. Love his chucks :)
