Silly Fun…

In the midst of editing and sorting photos, I start to get a little too focused and silly breaks are the only way I can cope…

I turn to my version of digital scrap-booking; behold:

SteffanieLOL!!! So, my best bud Steffanie, owner/creator of Sweet Somethings Photography took some pics of me too at the wedding…

If I’m going to tease her, I must be fair and show how silly I look too right? (You can click on this one to make it larger… sorry the words are so tiny!)

Wedding photography and wedding planning are the best jobs ever. I LOVE what I Do!!!!

Desert Greens – Greens Room

Posted in Desert Greens by Alena Swanson
Aug 10 2010

At Desert Greens, we have two rooms where we hold events. Previous pictures have been of our Fairway room.

It is rare that we go all out to decorate the small room, but this month, we had a wonderful family book the Greens room for a wedding reception, and they decided to add in the extras to make the room pop! My staff said they had never seen it completely decorated… and definitely not with chair covers! :) These pictures are my proof that our little Greens room can be transformed into a beautiful wedding reception room. The bride decorated in white and red, and the room looked absolutely gorgeous!
