Jennifer and Joshua + Cayton’s at The Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain + Tucson Wedding

‘Jest settin’ here watchin’ a flame dance an’ play.  from poet Eugene Cayton, cowboy poet and original homesteader of Dove Mountain.

The Ritz Carlton at Dove Mountain is a very special place, and a Ritz Carlton wedding, well I’ll just let the photos tell that story….

Jennifer and Josh met during Mardi Gras in New Orleans.  Not usually the recommended way to meet your new husband.  Especially when you are in medical school in New York and he is a Navy pilot stationed in Texas.  But wow did it work!  So now we had New York and Texas, plus a entire plane full of Canadians all descend on the Ritz Carlton at Dove Mountain for a very special wedding.  Which is something that April Thompson and the rest of the amazing staff at the Ritz Carlton are used to and handle with complete ease.  Cayton’s, the restaurant at the golf club at Dove Mountain is a hidden gem of a wedding venue.  The spectacular stonework, outdoor patios, soaring ceilings and desert backdrop makes for enchanting evenings.  The firepit blazed all night long and the evening actually ended with a guitar accompanied sing-along around the firepit.
