Riviera Resort Wedding Palm Springs (Kelly & Brian)
This wedding couldn’t get her fast enough. The day I heard that Kelly was engaged I was so happy for her. I’ve know Kelly for a little while now. Kelly works at The St. Regis. So I’ve worked on many weddings with her over the last couple years. I knew right away that I wanted to be a part of it. So I was so excited to be asked to be a part of this wedding. Also knowing that Kelly would have such a great team of vendors who are also friends of mine made it even that much better.
I have to list the amazing team she had. First of all I was so excited to be shooting it. But also that I got to shoot it with Lauren Hillary one of the JKP team. Lauren and I love shooting together. So getting to shoot with Lauren who is not only one of my team but a great friend made it that much more fun. We loved every minute of it.

The Beautiful Reception Lighting by Matthew Kaveh with OCAV
Beautiful Linens provided by Fusion Linens
Ceremony and Reception Music done by Tim Espinozsa and his amazing Electric Violin. You can book him through Invisible Touch. Tim and his violin should be at every wedding. Tim also does a great job as the reception Dj.
Getting Kelly beautiful for her big day was the great team from Design Visage.
Video was done by one of my favorites Zach & Rob with Elman Adam Films. These guys do such amazing work.
Also her officiant Rich Anderson really made it a special ceremony.
Plus working with the staff at The Riviera was such a pleasure. Everyone was so great to work with. The Riviera Resort in Palm Springs should for sure be on your list of locations to check out for your wedding.
She had such a great team working for her on her day I really wanted to mention them all.
It was amazing how great the weather also turned out for their day. A week ago everybody was worried that it might be to cold for an outdoor reception. That sure proved to be wrong. It was so beautiful outside. It wasn’t cold at all.
Kelly and Brian are just the perfect couple. Their family and friends were the best. Lauren and I had a blast photographing them all day. Especially at The Riviera. So many super cool backdrops for photos.

Kelly & Brian,
I have never seen such gorgeous wedding pictures in my life!! Nor have I seen a more beautiful bride and groom. Kelly, I haven’t seen you in awhile, but you look absolutely radiant in these photos. I love your hair short and those eyes!!! You are perfectly exquisite in these pictures. What an amazing job your entire team did in putting together a phenomenal wedding. I’m so glad Ryan shared these pictures with us so that we could see your beautiful wedding day in Palm Springs. Congratulations to you both and we send you our very best wishes for a long and very happy life together.

I have not stopped looking at the photos since 9:00am this morning (that is when Kelly sent me the link). I kept thinking that I would have a few favorite photo’s but they are all my favorites. Jim, I can’t thank you enough for capturing the most important day in Kelly and Brian’s life. A million thanks to you and your team.

Those moments that made us tear up and the moments that made us laugh are all captured perfectly. This was a special day for all that attended and participated.

WOW
What a beautiful wedding! Stunning pictures of the bride, and Brian looks like a very lucky guy. Hard to believe “little” Kelly (at least she was little the last time I saw her at the Rose Bowl) is all grownup. It brought back memories of the engagement party Ricky and Bob gave for Craig and Nancy. I always think of Nancy and her wonderful little giggle. Good pictures of the proud parents. Craig had a smile on his face the whole time, but who wouldn’t. Couldn’t ID John but he must have been in there someplace. I know Katie would have loved it.
Thank you so much for sharing the wedding with me. I will show them to Ricky since she doesn’t have a computer—shame on her.
Love to all and a happy and loving life together for Kelly and Brian.
Amy Callister.
PS I would love to know more about Brian. Where is he from, where will they live etc.
