Rebecca and Barry + Wedding at The Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain + Tucson Weddings

Rebecca and Barry decided to invite 20 of their friends and family to fly from Chicago to Arizona to celebrate their wedding day at The Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain.  Small intimate weddings are such a joy – I know everyone by their names and am kind of like the honorary cousin with a camera for the day.  Orange and turquoise colors, cowboy boots and granola snacks made in Tucson.  Rebecca fell in love with the Sonoran desert many years ago and when she met Barry, part of the deal was that he had to love the desert as much as she did.  A simple ceremony was held at the Ritz Carlton and the lack of formalities and strict timetable enabled me to take some breathtaking photos in places at the Dove Mountain property that I had never used before.  I was seated with the guests and indulged in a feast of Petit Filet Mignon, olive oil roasted Striped Bass Filet and Crab and Lemon Risotto. This decadent meal was finished off with a citrus chiffon wedding cake.
