“I freely, completely, unconditionally, and without reservation, pledge my life to loving you.” Those were the vows he spoke to her. And there wasn’t a dry eye around. Including mine. Gina & Ken’s wedding was nothing less than a fairy tale day; complete with Tiffany boxes, and gorgeous blue heels to match; sweet surprises, and romantic & damp-eyed love letters; vintage lace and an incredible choreographed first dance; and of course, the bling to end all blings, and a ’65 Corvette that had everyone’s hearts revving.
But that’s not what made this day really special. Apart from the fact that it couldn’t have been a more glorious fall day, with blue skies and mild temperatures. Apart from the fact that the previous day’s storm had cleared the air and made all the flowers glisten. Apart from the fact that the day was filled with gorgeous people at the absolutely stunning Hyatt Scottsdale Resort, and a vendor team that I loved working with. What made this day really, really special…. was how many times Gina just couldn’t help but kick up her feet… All. Day. Long. Ken literally swept her off her feet…. over. And over. And over again. Gina deserves absolutely nothing less that this fairy tale life which she can now call her own. And so does their family.
Congratulations Gina & Ken! I’m honored to have had the privilege of documenting your two families joining as one. More than that, I am overjoyed for you and the kids, and I know your life together will be filled incredibly romantic, over-the-top style dances, gifts, smiles, heel kicks, and most of all… love. I am so very happy for you all, and I can’t wait to see what this new 5.0 life brings to you! 💕

Hi Mindy – you are amazing!!! Thanks for capturing our special day. You made Gina look gorgeous, but that was easy given what you had to work with. What was really impressive was how good you made me look – that took talent!!!
As the CEO of a corporation, I have to make hundreds of decisions a week. Hiring you as our photographer was the easiest decision I made.
Attention Brides/Grooms considering hiring Mindy: take my advice, you will regret it for the rest of your life if you don’t hire Mindy to do your wedding. Of all the decisions you have to make, this is the easiest and one of the most important. Call me directly anytime, and I’m glad to explain why.
PS. our dance instructor as Gergana Slavova of NRG- https://nrgballroom.com/about-us/#owners. Give yourself 6-9 months to prepare for your first dance. Gergana was great and gave us a dance they are still talking about.
Ken – You’re right, a bride as beautiful as Gina is certainly a photographers dream. However, more-so is the kind of love and emotion that the two of you shared that day. That my friend, is what looks so very good on you both! Thank you for your kind words. It fills my heart with joy to know that you love your photos, your happy with the (very important) decision you made in choosing me, and that I had some part in helping make your wedding day as incredible as it was! Nothing could possibly be a higher compliment than a referral like you’ve given, and I appreciate that so very much!
