PAIGE AND JASON WEDDING

At the end of last week we photographed the wedding of Paige and Jason. It was held at Schnepf Farms in Queen Creek. Schnepf Farms has been open to the public for some time now, but they have just transformed their farmhouse and grounds to cater to weddings. In fact, Paige and Jason were originally going to be the first to get married there, but someone else booked after them and Schnepf Farms hosted their first wedding only days before - oh well.

The whole wedding was unique. The property is very large and guests were shuttled on a green trolley from the farmhouse parking lot, through their famous orchards, to the ceremony and reception area which was set up in a grassy field. The ceremony took place near sunset and the reception was held off to the side under a tent-like structure of hanging twinkle lights that acted as an open air roof of stars - simply magical!

Paige had been planning a big surprise for Jason that evening. Every night in October Schnepf Farms lights a fireworks show around 10:00PM. During the planning stages, Jason had been saying that he wanted fireworks at his wedding. He had no idea about this nightly event beforehand, though a couple of slips of the tongue almost gave it away that week. Though the fireworks went off a little earlier than planned and the music drowned out the beginnings of it, Paige and Jason were able to enjoy the grand finale.

So guys, this is our gift to you - you thought we didn't get a shot of it, but we did and we hope it helps to preserve the memories! You were both wonderful and Patti, thank you for everything. Thanks for having us and we hope you are enjoying your cruise!
