Villa Sienna Bridal Party Photos

Whenever I meet with a couple prior to their wedding one of my first questions is about their bridal party.  I’m always so curious about the size and dynamic of the group so I’ll be able to mentally plan for how the group photoshoot will play out.  When Michelle told me they had a BIG bridal party, I smiled because I love big bridal parties!  And Michelle had this group wrapped around her little finger, they did anything she asked, it was wonderful!

Michelle’s bridesmaids wore these elegant floor length dresses of warm brown.  I also loved how fall appropriate they were by featuring the long skirt.  All of the girls held red rose bouquets which really popped against the brown.

Brock’s six groomsmen each had a classic black tuxedo suit with a red tie, vest and boutonniere.

Wedding Ceremony at St. Anne’s in Gilbert Arizona

Brock and Michelle’s wedding ceremony took place at St. Anne’s Catholic Church in Gilbert, Arizona.  One of my favorite parts of Michelle and Brock’s happened right after the wedding ceremony.

After a Catholic wedding, we are usually given 30 minutes to take any and all photographs in the church before we need to hurry and get out.  It’s pretty uncommon to get through too many photos due to this time constraint and so at many weddings we end up finishing the photos outside of the church or at the reception venue.

This wedding was different though, and I was amazed. Michelle’s group was so on top of it, organized and obedient that we finished the large list of portraits with five minutes to spare! Wow, I was so impressed!

Ok, ok enough of my talking, here are some photo from the wedding ceremony!

Villa Siena Fall Wedding

Brock and Michelle’s wedding at Villa Siena was perfect in every possible way. From the getting ready, which I’m highlighting today to the reception I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter more enjoyable couple to shoot!

My favorite item from Michelle’s wardrobe were her blue shoes. I am loving this new trend of bright or patterned wedding heels.  Michelle’s were especially fun because they were so bright and totally unexpected!
