Ricky and Lanie got married on Saturday at the Four Seasons Resort in Scottsdale. Ricky is an Air Force Reservist and was away during part of their engagement for training. I got the chance to get to know them a bit through their engagement shoot, right when he got back, and they are super sweet people.

They have a really cute story. Their moms were best friends in high school and have always wanted them to end up together. After resisting and dating other people, they finally took a look at each other and realized they were meant to be. You can only imagine how ecstatic their moms are! So Ricky and Lanie are one example of how an arranged marriage could work out in this day and age! They are crazy about one another.

But before I get ahead of myself, here are some fun shots from the preparation part of the day.

The bridal party was out of control!
The ceremony mostly took place in the pitch darkness. But I was able to get this time-exposed shot of the setting:
