If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! With the Neon Boneyard closed this location continues to grow on me. Now I just have to find a couple who is willing to go spelunking!!

Gilbert & Delilah

Gilbert & Delilah were fabulous to work with! I love couples with flair, a splash of color, and the willingness to do anything! We made a pitstop on the way to the reception =)It never hurts to ask! The first step was convincing Delilah to ride the bull, check. The manager, check! Cool that was easy! Sign the waiver… naw who needs a waiver right?? I had a small heart attack when an employee walked over and I heard the hum of the bull start. I fully expected a final destination moment lol, the bull whipping around and tossing the bride and groom like gum wrappers, but he was just leveling the bull.. Phew!

Tom & Karena

Now that I am finally done with airports, baggage claims, and layovers for this wedding season I can catch up on some albums, photoshop, and blogging! And shoot more weddings and engagements of course =)

Tom & Karena were married on August 21st, 2010. It was a very toasty day, but I have come to embrace it and find lots of ways to work around it. After a short tour of Palazzo for some pics we headed to the ceremony…Tom, as Karena comes up the aisle.Karena & DadI love a splash of color!Mmmmm, Maggiano’s. Some of the best Italian food!First Dance

Gregg & Elizabeth

Gregg & Elizabeth were married at Canyon Gate Country Club on August 14th, 2010. Such a beautiful venue for a wedding! The west side of the ballroom faces west and is 1 big window, it makes for the most amazing sunsets!Amazingly perfect hair & makeup as always from Megan & Whitney @ Makeup in the 702!His and hers!My favorite moment of wedding days! I love it even more when we get to shoot the bride and groom seeing each other for the first time *before* the ceremony. It lets me use a beautiful background and I can pick nice angles I wouldn’t have otherwise.D’s angle of the first few momentsIt was a little toasty so we found some perfect light and some shade..Elizabeth’s dad escorts her down the aisle.Hmmm, whats a good caption for this photo? Maybe the popular one I see on newborn boys: Hide Your Daughters!These 2 were super cute and would later terrorize the dance floor with acrobatics and unrelenting bouncing.First danceGregg & Grandmother.Getting smiles for a few candid group photos was a cinch, D & I had some help from someone… he’s in the next pic =)Thats some pretty serious air!The last little bit of light

Congrats again! I hope everyone had a great time! If you missed the email list that went around you can be added to the final mailing by sending an email to ron@ronmphoto.com

Abraham & Rebecca

Ron — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 02:45:19 +0000

Abraham proposed to Rebecca at La Jolla Beach, what better place to do their engagement shoot?! Perfect weather and surf netted some awesome shots!Toes in the sand =)I can never remember who is ticklish when I ask, but it always makes for fun shots!Beach In-And-Outs! These can go horribly wrong if not timed just right haha! During the shoot a seal beached and began to play tag with the children. He would roll on his back like a dog and be helpless, and then do the short seal-hop chase the kids further and further up the beach. So cute! He seemed to love the attention and even gave me a wave for the blog!Last set of photos on the west shore. The intense waves gave them a good little spray just moments before this last photo. Sorry guys, but I think it was worth it!

Tons of fun in the sun! Hope you had a fabulous birthday Abraham!

Matt & Traci

Ron — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 21:20:13 +0000

Matt & Traci came to town to finalize a few details for their wedding, so we took the opportunity to go have some fun! They are both in the airline industry, so I took them to the executive terminal for a few shots. Can’t wait for the wedding guys! See you in a few months!

Gabe & Tiffany – July 31st, 2010 in Costa Rica

Ron — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 22:23:45 +0000

Gabe & Tiffany were married on July 31st on the Pacific shore of Costa Rica. It was such a fun week leading up to the wedding! Between the beach, the numerous excursions, and the all-inclusive Pool Time (O Yeah!) …it was a blast and I can’t wait to go back! One of the highlights was surely the Zipline of the Costa Rican canopy, a good majority of the wedding group participated, even Tiffany’s grandmother!

I had a small heart attack the first time I took my camera out to shoot, as the LCD, eyepiece and lens instantly fogged completely over. I have lots of experience shooting in humid states, but nothing like that! On the wedding day I decided to crack the slider door of the honeymoon suite where the girls were getting ready, so I could leave both cameras outside…. out of the slight drizzle , but acclimated to the air. This kept them ready to rock, and I could still duck into the suite for hair & makeup photos. Right smack in the middle of the rainy season, the wedding was scheduled as a morning affair. It worked perfectly as the rain usually didn’t come until late afternoon, and after the reception brunch we actually got a nice 3-4 hour extension of sun for Pool Time! For those of you that don’t know, Pool Time is:

Pool Time, n.

1. Time spent with friends and family in a large pool with a swim-up bar, with unlimited fruity drinks and cuisine from an on-point world class chef, somewhere very close to the equator.

Thanks so much to everyone who traveled down for the wedding! If you received the link to the blog secondhand and would like to be added to the final email list just send an email to ron@ronmphoto.com When all the images are online I will email everyone with the gallery link and password. I hope to have the zip-line videos up maybe late tonight, I shot everything full HD so it’s been uploading to youtube for the last 24 hours lol.

Now the pics…. This was the sunset the night before the wedding.Everyone received a bag for the weekend, inside was a underwater camera, chapstick, and personalized beer koozie!Tiffany’s dad walks her up the beach. Right before she got to here some local ladies were running up to her and congratulating her lol. Get out of the pictures!!Flamingo BeachRight after the ceremonyGernot, I found you the elusive ceviche!First DancePool Time!Photo Shoot on Flamingo BeachWell, we started dry lol! Eventually it turned into a trash the dress session all in one =)Sunset shots on wedding evening

Paul & Tamara

Ron — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 03:36:12 +0000

On July 10th I had the pleasure of shooting Tamara & Paul’s wedding in a backyard setting. Weddings at homes have always been one of my favorites, you just can’t beat the ambience of being under the stars. Tamara made an excellent observation when we were discussing the wedding day a few months before. What better way to pick a sunny day than to visit the city’s history books! I don’t remember the exact dates, (And this is the Southwest so if you’re in New England this won’t apply!), but the last rainy day on July 10th was like 1998, then 1973, then 1959? Pretty good odds right?!Escape the family photos? Not a chance little guy.I know there’s always some clean-up time involved, but I do prefer the messy way out! The images are much more fun!They converted the hot tub to the ceremony stage, as well as a satellite dance floor through the evening.Watch that ledge guys……..Oh No!!!!! B&G down!!!!Ok, not really =) Apparently Tamara’s mom hid all her bathing suits so she wouldn’t do the following, but I think someone brought a spare for her =)If you look in the upper left of this image, near the door you will see the dog that managed to take a piece of my leg.

Congrats Paul & Tamara! If you missed the email list that went around and would like to be added for the final online release just send an email to ron@ronmphoto.com

Ilya & Diana

Ron — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 21:53:45 +0000

We started out with a nice little photo tour of the swanky Encore Hotel, hitting a few nooks and crannys with flair. After their ceremony at The Bellagio we headed to the outdoor patio at the famous Picasso Restaurant. This is as close as you can get to the fountains of Bellagio, unless you have gills or wings. The spectacular show went off every 15 minutes for the entire reception, after which I huddled over my Mark III to keep the spray off my lenses!! Julian Serrano kept a close eye over the wedding, and crafted a masterful dinner (shots above). As the evening winded up Diana even got a shot with Julian in front of one of Picasso’s famous paintings (the entire collection in the restaurant is valued around 90 million!!).

Congrats Ilya & Diana!
