If you missed part one, go here to see it!
This second batch of photos are my favorite photos of the day between Dana and Brian. They chose to see one another before the ceremony and that gave us a tremendous amount of time to do photos.

I just kind of really like this photo :).
And the emotion of this one.
One of my most favorite photos of Dana.
When I first saw Dana and Brian's venue, I worried that we wouldn't have a ton of spots to shoot at. I think the value of being able to see each location before the actual wedding day is great and thank God I did, because I'm not sure I would've found this little area of trees had I not. I LOVE that we found it, I just adore the look of the trees here (hard to find in Arizona sometimes). We were also away from the venue a bit, which gave Dana and Brian some time to themselves without all of their party and guests around. Some just them time.
Showing off his juggling skills ;).
Beautiful.
Dana and Brian share a HUGE love for sports, especially baseball. Dana's mom had this awesome idea to bring the blow up baseballs which turned out great for the wedding party shot!
….and then they through them straight at me :).
Her dad putting the penny in her shoe.
The signing of the Ketubuh. This was my first Jewish wedding to shoot, and attend for that matter, and I couldn't get over the traditions that they brought into the ceremony. Derrick and I just fell in love with all of it and loved the depth and meaning of everything. So beautiful.
This moment chokes me up every time.
Here is Dana circling Brian during her Seven Circles. I was getting dizzy just watching!
Dana was so excited about her Chuppah, the canopy above them. This is symbolic to the first roof that will be over Dana and Brian's head. The tradition of having no walls comes from Abraham and Sarah, who always had their home open to everyone. This particlar Chuppah is even more special as it has been passed down through the generations of Dana's family. So beautiful.
See the Bobbleheads on top of the cake? 🙂
This happy couple took months of dance lessons to perform a choreographed first dance. I might have cried just a teeny tiny bit.
And then I might have cried even a bit more during her dance with her Daddy, the second thing next to marrying Brian that she was most excited about.
This is quite possibly the most fun I've ever had at a wedding! It was so exciting!

Thank you Dana and Brian for sharing such a fun and incredible day!!! Congratulations to you both!
