a lifetime of happinesss!

The wedding of LeDonna and Quintin was held at Arden Hills. The Villa was finally opened for wedding couples to stay. LeDonna and Quintin were one of the first couples who stayed at "The Villa" on their wedding night. I met LeDonna there to photograph her while she was getting ready. So I was thrilled to have the opportunity to view the site for the first time. LeDonna and I were first to arrive. We were ushered into her room and saw this gorgeous room with a beautiful canopy bed. There were french doors leading out to the courtyard. LeDonna looked so fabulous and glamorous that day... which I already new she would. When she was ready for her portraits, I took her to the entry way where a tall staircase with wrought-iron banisters greeted guests as they enter the building. I was in photo heaven. I love to see beautiful architectural details, mirrors, chandeliers, etc. It just adds to the drama of the photographs. It suited LeDonna's looks and personality. It was a pleasure meeting both LeDonna and Quintin's families. They were warm and loving to each other. I see were both LeDonna and Quintin's sweet, quiet and calm demeanor comes from. As the evening progressed, dancing started and everyone was on the dancefloor even both grandparents. LeDonna's parents can dance! They were doing a latin dance. I wouldn't know one dance to the other. Someday, I will take latin-dancing lessons and hopefully look as good as them. Not with my husband, though. You'll never catch him on the dancefloor...moving. It was a happy day and happy moments. LeDonna and Quintin are clearly made for each other. You can see by the way they look at each other that this sweet relationship will last a lifetime. **Click here** to view their slideshow.
