Dara and Ronnie's Wedding
Dara and Ronnie... wore... me... OUT!! :)
I mean it when I say that I had the GREAT OPPORTUNITY to shoot their wedding last night at the Doubletree Guest Suites in Tukwila. They had a BEAUTIFUL and intimate engagement that I will not forget. I don't mean to place any pressure on my future brides, butI think this is one of my most favorite weddings I've shot to date. Everything about it went perfectly. As a matter of fact, I think both Dara and Ronnie were the calmest people there... AND IT WAS THEIR WEDDING!
Here's a quick collage of their special day:
Here's a little background:
I used to work with Ronnie at the Guitar Center in Tukwila. I was in operations and he was a sales rep in the keyboard/pro audio department. I KNEW he was talented because everytime a customer came in to look at some equipment, they'd ask for him. He'd "demo" the equipment with his own music, making it that much more appealing for customers to buy the gear and follow their dream in making music. Well, since, I've moved from GC to photography.
Fast forward to last August, I assisted in shooting video for Christine and Ryan's wedding (if you follow my blog, and you should, you'll remember Christine and Ryan from this POST). Ronnie greeted me at the front door of the church. Turns out he was a close friend of theirs! Dara was even Christine's Maid of Honor!! They both performed at their wedding...
So, Ronnie contacted me about a month ago and asked me to shoot HIS wedding. I felt honored!
These two are amazing performers. They're in a group called Groove Edition. Dara also has myspace account (Ronnie was a primary producer - check out the myspace) and her own website. They are AMAZING!
Aside from the funny slideshow, unforgettal first dance and delicious cupcake tree, the best part of the reception was athe non-stop medley!! And they performed the WHOLE time. They got everyone up and dancing NON-STOP. It was great!
I love my job!!!
Here's a snapshot I took of all of us (from left to right: Dara, Ronnie, Ryan, me (partly) and Christine):

I'm off to California to shoot another wedding, but I made a secret promise to the couple and myself to get some images up for the world to view. While I'm down there I'll post up more images. I'm currently working on their album, so you won't want to miss that! Keep checking back.
I'll also have ALL the images up on my e-store soon. Let me know what you think of everything. Better yet, subscribe to my blog to receive automatic updates (I UPDATE ALL THE TIME). Feel free to comment here as I know Dara and Ronnie check it too ;)
Have a great week and safe 4th of July!

Ariel you've done it again with some credit to Lindsey and Moses too. You and your team are professional with excellent attention to details. When I heard Dara & Ronnie were using you for their wedding I had no worries. Dara & Ronnie's pictures are simply amazing and your so quick to share.
To Dara & Ronnie,
I wish you the best and I know you will always play lovely music together. *wink* And your first dance was the best!!!
Ryan, you're too kind! Yes, LOTS OF credit to Lindsey and Moses. They're my superstars!!!
They had a lot of nice words about you as well. Wedding preparation is nerve-racking, not only for the bridal party, but for photogs as well :) I had already told them about you and how hospitable you were to me at YOUR wedding. When you approached them before the ceremony, they knew they were in good hands.
And I agree, that first dance was the best I've seen!!!
Hey Ariel, it's Arelle. It's so cool that you're such a great photographer. I used to do black and white in my dark room back in the 90's...seems like forever ago! But I was never as good as you are. Oh yeah, it was fun working with you at Guitar Center for the short time that it was:-) I'll give you three guesses who I'm going to hire to do my wedding, if and when I have one. And two of the guesses aren't Ansel Adams or Minor White!
