Vanessa and Steve were married on July 30 at Trilogy Monarch Dunes.  They made sure throughout their entire planning process to make the wedding ‘all about them’, and it was an honor for Cheryl and I to capture that!  Steve himself had a special Top Gun theme song intro as he came down the aisle, and Vanessa and her father walked to the ceremony to an instrumental Snow Patrol song 🙂  They wanted to be sure to have lots of romantic photos of just the two of them and were so organized with planning out their timeline that Cheryl and I were able to spend plenty of time with them and get lots of creative shots!  The golf carts definitely helped as well 😉 (Thanks Steve!)  Check out their gorgeous teal, black and white wedding (and Vanessa’s teal chucks!)!
