Alex & Ryan - Omni Resort at Montelucia Wedding

From the moment I met Alex and her mother, I knew their wedding was going to be one of my favorites. Alex has a very defined style and knows what she likes. This wedding was classy, elegant but a touch bohemian and loaded with special moments. We absolutely love working at the Montelucia and every vendor that played a part in this day was outstanding. I am so excited to share these photos from Jeff Plus Amber Photograhy. Thank you to everyone that played a part in making this a very special day and the biggest congratulations and well wishes to the newlyweds and their new family!

Catherine and Michael - Arizona Biltmore Wedding

I could write pages and pages about Catherine and Michael's beautiful wedding at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa. From day one, Catherine knew exactly what she wanted for her wedding. An elegant, classy affair with many nods to her South African roots, important family tradition and her and Michael's love story. We spent many hours together, planning, brainstorming and bringing her vision to life. The two of them just glow when they are together and their day was such a special event to be a part of. Michael was one of the most excited grooms I have ever worked with and just couldn't wait to see his bride walk down the aisle. From the bagpiper outside the church, to the South African Protea flower and the beautiful moments that happened between them, it was a very memorable event for all that attended and it was a pleasure to be involved.

Victoria and Michael- The Boulders Resort and Spa

From start to finish, I enjoyed every second working with Victoria and Mike.  They were such a fun and considerate couple; I enjoyed hanging out with them as much as I enjoyed planning their wedding with them!!  Their easy going personalities made every decision so easy and fun and their style was on point!  They had an absolute beautiful ceremony and reception at The Boulders; how could you go wrong in the natural setting of The Boulders?!  Working with amazing vendors made the day absolutely flawless!  Enjoy these photos from Kimberly Jarman Photography!

Elizabeth and Matthew - El Chorro Wedding

It is not very often that I have the chance to enjoy a wedding as a guest, lucky for me, Elizabeth and Matthew are family and I had the absolute pleasure of being a part of the wedding planning process and had the chance to watch and enjoy the wedding from the other side for once! These photos from Pinkerton Photography are just gorgeous, they perfectly capture how special the day was for everyone involved. Elizabeth and Matthew have the sweetest relationship and we loved watching the day unfold. Her dress (and the bridesmaids dresses!) were beyond amazing and her cake is stunning! We wish these two the absolute best and are so blessed that we were able to be a part of the planning!

Ashley and Patrick- Omni Montelucia and Private Residence Wedding

I can say without question that Ashley and Patrick's wedding was one for the books! The first night I met Ashley, she jumped right in to the vision of her day and knew EXACTLY what she wanted. Her modern wedding, bright colors, more food options than you could imagine, fireworks, photobooth, ice sculpture, 6 tier cake and 500 mini desserts are just the tip of the iceberg! We had a lot of laughs during the planning and even a last minute rain storm could not stop  this crew from having a great time. It was an honor to be a part of the planning and I can truly tell you this was a wedding I will not soon forget!

Carolyn & Rich - Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Wedding

Sometimes you meet a client and you are really excited to work with them, not just because their wedding will be beautiful, or they chose a nice venue, but because you like them and would hang out with them on the weekends! That is how I felt working with Carolyn and Rich. They were really great, down to earth and being involved in the planning of their wedding from start to finish was a blessing. Not to mention the vendors they chose were outstanding and the day was an elegant, exciting and FUN day! I am pleased to share the images from Kimberly Jarman Photography. They knocked these photos out of the park!

Emily & Rahul - Paradise Valley Country Club Wedding

I am so excited to finally share these photos from Emily and Rahul's wedding. Working at Paradise Valley Country Club is always a pleasure and with an amazing array of vendors on board, things went off without a hitch. The traditional Norwegian Kransekake and Swedish Princess Cake were just two of our favorite touches that made this a special and tradition oriented event for the families of both the bride and groom. Add to that breathtaking floral from Avant Garde and a very lively party with Shining Star band and you have yourself quite a wonderful evening. Thanks to Illume Photography for sharing the images with us. I have a feeling Emily made their job easy, what a stunning bride! Congratulation to our happy couple!

Kym & Jay - Montelucia Resort & Spa Wedding

  Kym and Jay's wedding at the Montelucia was one of my favorite to date. The two of them are such a fantastic pair together, they compliment each other perfectly, have a great sense of style, and definitely know how to have a good time. When we first spoke, they described their wedding vision as a mix of New York, meets Arizona, meets Paris with a little bit of Justin Timberlake thrown in! It was elegant, natural and perfectly 'Kym and Jay'. We had a surprise performance from the ASU Pitchforks, singing their acapella version of 'Mirrors' while the bride and groom recessed from the ceremony, it was a goosebumps (and tears) worthy moment! I can't thank all of our vendors enough for making this a wonderful event. All photos below are courtesy of Mike Olbinski Photography!

Featured Wedding - Alexis & John

I am so absolutely excited to share these images! This spring, we had the opportunity to work with Alexis and John on thier wedding day. The first thing I can say is, Oh My Goodness, the dress! She had the most gorgeous Vera Wang gown and looked absolutely striking! The entire event from start to finish was a huge success. We are so so taken by the great images that were captured by CA photographers White Haute we just couldn't wait to share!

During dinner, we used couches, haybales and bistro lighting to transform the ceremony site into a lounge and reception area just in time for the party to begin!
