A Modern Red and Black Wedding at Tre Bella in Mesa, Arizona

Kelli Portnoy (31 and an IT quality-assurance analyst) and Jonathan Portnoy (43 and a network consultant) tossed tradition at every turn, starting with a ruby engagement ring that inspired their entire wedding. From bundles of red roses to Kelli’s red wedding dress (that’s right, it was bright red—and lace), their wedding style was modern with some offbeat details that made the day feel super-personal. Since Kelli and Jonathan got married in Arizona, finding the right indoor venue was important to them. Tre Bella in Mesa, Arizona, had it all: a sleek, classy vibe, a package deal with preferred vendors (which made planning much easier) and totally customizable options to fit their retro style. Their shared love of music played into their wedding theme: They had treble clef escort card holders, vintage record guest books and even a music-themed wedding cake. One of the day's standout moments was their creative ceremony: Kelli and Jonathan had a coffee-unity ceremony. LTL Photography was captured all the details, below.
