Blendi, co-founded Sun-Dance Photography nearly a dozen years ago after receiving her degree in photography. Prior to that time, she was as well-known and respected as she is now, but on the other side of the camera as a high-fashion model in Los Angels for ten years.
When her partner in Sun-Dance decided that raising small children and running a couture photography business was just too much, Blendi took over and further developed Sun-Dance Photography into the highly respected business it is today; a business well-known for possessing the best collective of photographers who shoot fine art, high-fashion quality photography. This is a business that generates a great deal of praise by brides and grooms, who are looking (just like you!) for a more imaginative and creative photographic representation of their wedding day.
With the use of bright colors, unique filters, and fresh angles, there
is no doubt that Blendi and her team’s imagination and creativity,
produce work “outside the box.” She shares that what inspires them most
is experiencing the bride and groom’s response when they view their
images for the first time, “It’s simply magical seeing a bride and
groom so happy,” she said.

In addition to making couples happy, Blendi and the crew enjoy traveling and taking photos; they are inspired by light, lines, and color in every day life. Sun-Dance Photography loves to create and explore, achieving something exciting, beautiful, and different with the camera. To summarize all that they find enjoyable, Blendi says it best, “I just love life!”
With Blendi leading the collective group of Sun-Dance, Blendi ensures that their brides and grooms are the stars at their own wedding. Her many talents as a photographer and her expertise in the fashion business, have merged years of experience, enabling her to create something very special. But she is far from just a top-of-the-line genius with an edgy, sophisticated, highly artistic style with a camera; she is also a capable director that guides her team, pulling out the finest star qualities in every bride and groom, and their wedding.
But making every client feel like a star is really not much of a challenge for Blendi and her team, because she has accrued numerous actual movies stars and celebrities among her clientele over the years including Wild Things 2’s Susan Ward, Nip/Tuck’s Jessalyn Gilsig, singer Marko of Sugarcult, and many other celebrities, writers, and producers.
Attesting to Blendi’s talent, one wedding magazine editor (whom we just happen to know!), had this to say, “Blendi is definitely one of the finest shooters out there. Wherever I'm in search of great images, I can always count on going to the Sun-Dance’s folder and pulling any number of fabulous images,” shares Thea Lignos-Hargrove, Editor in Chief of Your Wedding Day.
This is no doubt, one of the many reason as to why Sun-Dance Photography is so well loved, which Blendi reveals as one of their noteworthy accomplishments, “Sun-Dance weddings are always published!” In addition to this worthy achievement, Blendi, with her great sense of humor discloses, “Another proud accomplishment is I can do a cartwheel!” We think you can see why brides, grooms, editors, and wedding vendors alike say that working with Blendi and the Sun-Dance collective is ever so rewarding, and so much fun!
For your own celebrity wedding, staring you, whether it is local or a destination wedding, Blendi and the team of Sun-dance Photography is always there for you!

# 1 - LOUNGING ANYWHERE
Wonder what to do to a resort ballroom to make it more interesting and intimate? You can create individual lounge areas by renting tents of sheer flowing fabric and adding sofas and coffee tables with lots of candlelight in them. You’ve suddenly created that romantic lounge atmosphere in a standard ballroom and given it more intimacy. Your guests can move to different “rooms” during the cocktails hour or or they can dance the night away. Jill La Fleur, The Wedding Planner

# 6 RECIPES FOR FAVORS
Gather together the favorite recipes that you remember as a child. They could be special family recipes, holiday menus, etc. Have them bound in small books, affix a wedding label on the front with your monogram and date that you were married. And there you have it, a unique favor that your guests will use again and again. Also, it is a wonderful way to acknowledge grandmothers and mothers.

#21 LA FLEUR TABLE
Cover your entire table top with a single bold color of petals. Not
just a scattering, but the entire top of the table with a thick layer
of petals! You can purchase them at a farmers market or order them
through your florist. Place your chargers, place settings, glassware
and centerpieces in a contrasting color and lots of candles directly
onto the petals for a stunning, romantic look!
