My last wedding of 2016 couldn’t have ended on a better note.  You may remember Kristin and Allan’s Palm Springs engagement session from this Spring.  They were married at the Miramonte Resort and Spa nestled at the base of the scenic Santa Rosa Mountains.  The ceremony was officiated by the Bride’s brother under a large tree on the resort property.  The ceremony was intimate, romantic, and relaxed.  The guests dined and danced under the stars with the glow of bistro lighting overhead and candlelight on every table.  They were surrounded by family and friends and danced the night away as they celebrated their very first day as husband and wife!  Here are a few of my favorites from the day:
