Scottsdale, Arizona Wedding & Portrait Photography
Category Archives: WeddingsI’m happy to share the exciting news with you today…Laura and Ryan’s GORGEOUS Sanctuary Camelback wedding was featured on Phoenix Bride & Groom Magazine!! Their wedding definitely deserved it. It was stunning, so well put together, and they were really a dream couple to work with! If you would like to see the feature, here is a link. A little preview of the article. :)  
Thanks to Phoenix Bride & Groom and of course, Laura & Ryan! Last year, I created a theory based on this wedding and Keri & Bryan’s. If you meet your future spouse in Washington or Oregon and decide to get married in Arizona for the sun…it will rain anyway. Bethany and Mike got married on the coldest day I’ve ever photographed on…but they were both from my beloved Oregon, so they barely seemed to notice the desert rain! The details and love at this wedding were wonderful. The couple personalized their wedding down to the last detail…even the beer that the groomsmen were drinking was from their home state! They were a perfect pair and I loved the look each of them would get when they’d look in each other’s eyes, it was just heart melting. I felt so blessed to be a part of this wedding day and I’m grateful that Aaron Hoskins had me tag along to second shoot! The day started at the Legacy Golf Resort…Along with her other jewelry, Bethany carried some of her grandma’s favorite pieces with her.     The ceremony and reception were held at the Secret Garden in Phoenix…         Thankfully the sun made a little appearance right around ceremony time so it could still be held outside!           I loved that instead of table numbers, each guest was sat at a table named after one of the couple’s favorite sports teams! The guests also got to go home with their own homemade cocoa mix!  There was no doubt at all about how much fun all of the guests were having at the reception!    All in all, another perfect beginning to a lifelong journey of marriage. :) Nadine and Jim had a beautiful and very emotional wedding at the McDowell Mountain Community Church followed by a wonderful celebration at the Tommy Bahama Restaurant at the Kierland Shopping Center. The slogan for the wedding was “Two families becoming one” because each of them brought three children into the marriage. The ceremony was full of many tears, Jim serenading Nadine, and the kids surprising their parents with a Brady Bunch inspired video of the three girls and three boys. Jim and Nadine went through a lot to get to be together and I was overjoyed that I got to second shoot for Jenny Bishop and be part of their amazing day.  I loved the delicate and loose knot they tied in the back of her dress instead of a bow. It was beautiful!  I had never seen a man’s wedding ring that was as unique as Jim’s, I really liked it with the gold infinity signs surrounding the band.               Another cool Rolls Royce hood ornament! I think I might start collecting pictures of them. ;)  |
