I’m remiss in blogging Sunny & John’s wedding so much later than I normally post weddings. They were married this past December and were my last wedding of the season. It was a great way to end the year on such a high note. John and Sunny are very, very in love and it was so beautiful to witness all of their passion and warm affection for one-another. This is the second marriage for each of them and they are bringing two families together – Sunny’s 3 daughters and John’s 3 grown sons with their own respective families. They are like a true Brady Bunch! :-)
John is the CEO of Ping Golf and lives here in Phoenix (the wedding took place and his private home) and Sunny was living in Hawaii with her daughters when they were introduced by a mutual friend at John’s church. The friend had met Sunny and thought John should call her as they would be the perfect match. After lots of phone calls and a long distance relationship, it turns out this mutual friend was very right indeed, and a wonderful love blossomed, which is so plain to see. Cheers to persistence and good match-making!
Their outdoor, tented wedding was coordinated by Trisha Foster at Total Events and the flowers were provided by a family friend. My friend & photographer Cristi Owen came along to shoot the day with me and I’ve included some of her images below as well, which are noted.
Here are some favorites from the day:
Loved her fun purple shoes!

I loved their first look
Especially this moment
And this one
After, we headed outside to capture some bride and groom portraits
They love cacti, so we took advantage of the huge saguaro outside of John’s home
Then we headed back for the ceremony to begin
I love this look John’s mother and Sunny shared, who was walked down the aisle by both of her adoring parents. Love it!
John’s amazing view from his backyard
Sunny’s daughter and John sharing a hug after the ceremony
Sunny and her 3 beautiful daughters
John and his handsome sons
The grandchildren & flower girls were dressed up as ballerinas. So sweet
Love this side angle Cristi captured of their silly face-making
After family portraits, we went back out front to take advantage of the setting sun and the GORGEOUS sunset
A few details from their tent. Good thing they had this heated, because it was freezing out that day! (Well, freezing for Arizona!)
Beautiful sunset shot by Cristi and love the dance shot she got below!
Thank you Sunny and John for sharing your kind and loving spirits. Congratulations to you both!
