Summer Wedding at Black Canyon Inn

During the pre-ceremony portrait session at Jenny and Dustin’s summer wedding at Black Canyon Inn, Jenny turned to me and said, “I can’t wait for the dance party.” Approximately six hours later, I found out why.

Sometimes, photographing a dance party at a wedding for three straight hours can feel a bit monotonous. There are usually only a handful of people who are really into dancing, while the rest of the crowd is content to look on from the periphery. This was absolutely not case at Jenny and Dustin’s wedding.

An inordinately large percentage of the couples’ friends appeared to be professional dancers, as did the newlyweds themselves. They all immediately hit the dancefloor after dinner and flawlessly began performing West Coast Swing (as I’ve been told by people who understand styles of dance).

There were no lulls in this dance party. There were no ebbs and flows. And at no point did I check my watch.

It also didn’t hurt that Jenny and Dustin hired Dancin’ Shoes DJ, one of our all-time favorite “friendors” (friend vendors) that we’ve been working with for more than a decade.

Jenny and Dustin, thank you both so much for allowing us to be a part of your summer wedding at Black Canyon Inn. If every dance party was as good as yours, we would need to buy a lot more memory cards for our cameras!
