Recently, I was invited to Jay's for a special event called a "Group Tasting". This was an evening for brides and grooms to come in and sample a tasting menu catered by Jay's as well as get ideas for their event decor. Jay's has a special room that they built for non-profit special events where they also host the group tastings. This room is called the "Benevolenza Room" which means Goodwill, and serves as a fabulous gathering spot for the group tastings.

The idea behind the group tastings is to get people to come together. They can experience the food as well as the company of each other while planning their weddings and chat about ideas. The brides and grooms can also tour the facility to see all of the party rentals and sample an array of appetizers, dinner plates and desserts.

Jeff+Kacy=Married | Viceroy Hotel Wedding Palm Springs

Congratulations to our fabulous couple, Jeff + Kacy, who recently shared their vows at The Viceroy Hotel in Palm Springs, CA. We want to thank them for having us be a part of their day, it was such a pleasure to be around them at this wonderful venue. I have to say I love the story of meeting in the workplace since it is one near and dear to my heart. Jeff and I met and started having lunch almost 11 years ago when we worked at a studio together doing Home Depot's catalog photography. Well, this is where Jeff and Kacy met too. I mean where do you spend most of your time? It is bound to happen that near the water cooler, in an elevator, at lunch, or a mere conversation at the passing of your desk may turn into a romance. So it did for the two that romance struck and Jeff asked Kacy to marry him. When I heard of his proposal I thought it was the sweetest thing. Jeff put the ring in a Monopoly game and asked Kacy to play. Thankfully she said yes to both playing the game that night as well as marrying Jeff because, it brought all of us here to this fabulous day at The Viceroy.

Kacy was such a classy bride and her gown was absolutely stunning, a design by Ines di Santo. This bride rocked the Hollywood Glam style, love it girl!

This was one of our favorite photos of Kacy, such a fabulous moment and composition with the bride, maid of honor and bride's grandma!

We just love all of the details!

Here is our handsome Groom, Jeff, almost ready to go!

Jeff and Kacy decided on doing a "first look" and saw each other before the ceremony and shot some photos. We love doing this because the couple has a chance to see each other for the first time in a beautiful setting. Just for the two to have a moment! It brings tears to everyone's eyes.

Here comes the bride!

Jeff looked so happy to see his bride!

The two meet!

We all loved the Orange Door in this photo!

Our Groom

This is a shot of our bride as I mentioned to look over at her groom Jeff, she just lit up!

It's ceremony time with the mountain in the background!

So happy to be married, love love love their expressions!

First Dance

I happen to look over at this mirror at one point and saw the reflection of the two dancing. I just loved that it looked like they were dancing in the room like no one was watching!

Kacy kicked off her shoes while dancing during the reception, so the creative in me took over and here are the rings!

It was a beautiful wedding with a stunning couple at a fabulous venue, who could ask for anything more. We wish Jeff and Kacy all of the best in their married life together and thank you again for having Sipper Photography be a part of one of the best day of your lives. We love what we do, cheers to you both! J+D
