Jenny and Tyler's Wedding

Jenny and Tyler had a wedding just 4 months after the official wedding announcement. Their wedding took place at the always beautiful Desert Willow Golf Resort in Palm Desert, CA. This day could not have been more perfect for an outdoor wedding on the Terrance- it was 80 degrees and perfectly sunny!
Jenny and Ty themselves were a great couple to photograph. In addition, their families and friends were just as welcoming and fun! I was so honored to have been apart of their special day! We got hundreds of images, but of course I couldn't post them all in this blog. Here are some highlights from their Wedding Day:


This image is symbolic of Jenny and Ty's relationship. A long time ago when they attended Palm Desert High School, they carved their name in a tree. Well, just a couple years ago, PDHS was torn down...including that tree. So this carving was recreated on a tree in their backyard and used as a symbol throughout their wedding...



The dress!




The bridesmaids are putting final finishes on the Bride and adding some jewelry...




The Bridemaids and I all did a toast to the Bride...





 


The Brides shoes....Awesome!!!

 


They matched the flowers and the cake!!




Here are the fine gentlemen...Groom, Best Man Trevor and Grandpa Don as the Groomsmen...







The Skogen Family was so much fun to hang out with...




Heading to the Palm Desert Terrance to begin the ceremony. The Groom was very relaxed...




Bride Jenny was given away by her dear brother. Did I mention...I used to babysit these two when they were about 5/8 years old. I indeed got teary-eyed when I saw them walking out...




James giving Jenny to her Groom...













She's a goofball. And that's why we love her...




Don't they look so lovely together?






That Jenny! hehe


And....they're married!!




Escort "cards" were the cutest things: little flowers in vases as shown below for the Groom's parents...




Jenny and Ty have some pets that mean everything to them. Before the wedding, Jenny and I met up and photographed each one of them. Each table at the wedding had a different pet's name (instead of a number) in a photo frame along with a story on how they acquired their pet. What a special way to include the whole family...





This was by far the best food ever...A fresh pasta bar made to order for the guests!! Awesome!!





Jenny and Ty at their Sweetheart table with a picture of Penny, Abbie, and her beloved grandpa...




And the most romantic thing ever...The First Dance!!

 


The night didn't end there, for that was only the beginning. There was so much fun and love in the air, on top of all that crazy dancing and partying!!

Congratulations to these two lovebirds. May you live Happily Ever After!!
