Indian Canyons Golf Resort Wedding



On May 29th 2010 I arrived at the Indian Canyons Golf Resort, to photograph the wedding of Cassandra Deblock and Michael Kurcher. The couple and most of their guests were from London, so the warm weather must have been a shock to them. I had met Cassandra at the Hilton Palm Springs hotel a couple hours earlier to photograph her preparations. The couple had anticipated the warm weather and had wisely chosen to start their ceremony at 5pm - after the sun had gone behind the mountain. The ceremony site was spectacular, on a green right next to a large pond, with a huge fountain jetting up in the center. Even though it was late in the day many of the guests chose to watch the ceremony from under the shade of some Mesquite trees. The cocktail reception was one of the longest of my career - over two hours! But the clubhouse was beautiful and it was also very comfortable outside once darkness fell.
