Courtney & John- El Chorro Wedding

I can honestly say that working with Courtney and John on their wedding was just an absolute pleasure. They were SO sweet and genuine and it was THE coolest thing to help (truth be told I had very little to do with it) orchestrate one of the coolest wedding surprises to date. The Groom, a pilot, as you will see in the details of the day, coordinated a fly over that happened exactly when the couple had their first kiss at the end of the ceremony, you guys, it was GOOSEBUMPS! Enjoy the gorgeous photos that we were so lucky to receive from Daniel Kim Photography!

Mishay & Rob - El Chorro Wedding

Mishay and Rob’s day was a special one. From start to finish it was stunning, romantic and joyous! They have style, grace and a beautiful family. It was SUCH a pleasure to be a part of this planning process and wedding day. Our vendors were a dream and even the sprinkle of rain for a brief moment during the ceremony lead to a post ceremony rainbow! Thank you to El Chorro for another seamless event and Jessica Q for her photography genius to capture it in all it’s beauty! Enjoy :)

Now that we are almost out of the weeds from our spring wedding season, we are finally circling back, enjoying the photos from all of our fall weddings and getting caught up on sharing them with YOU!!

Rebecca & Nathan - El Chorro Wedding

So excited to share this stunner with you today! These high school sweethearts are just the sweetest! Their smiles are infectious and everything about this day was so beautiful and memorable. We had Mija the beer burro, a surprise slide show from Rebecca’s father and everyone danced until the very end of the celebration. You would feel the love and support for these two by stepping into the room. Rebecca knew what she wanted her guests to feel when they stepped into the space, and we had the pleasure of helping that vision coming to life. Blush and crystal goblets, blush charger, gold flatware and a combo of blush and ivory linens cascaded through Casa Paloma. There were touches of navy and pops of burgundy with lots of greenery and candlelight to add a soft romantic setting. We hope you enjoy these photos as much as we do!

Mary & Ian - Phoenix Art Museum Wedding

I am so excited to share with you all, Mary & Ian. Some people take themselves too seriously, or lose sight of WHY we do weddings. I can say with all honesty that from the Day I met these two, they just had SO much fun. Don’t get me wrong, they had ideas of what they wanted, and how they wanted it, but they NEVER took themselves too seriously and never, for one second, did they stop having fun! It was a pleasure to work with Paper Antler Photographer on this wedding, he captured the essence of these two with ease and every time I look at these photos, I feel like I am right back there again! I wish Mary & Ian many more years of this much laughter, fun, Jameson and dancing!!

Jennifer & Grant - McCormick Ranch Golf Club Wedding

Working with Jennifer and Grant was just a dream wedding. Jennifer hired us to come in during the final few months and assist her with the confirmation, loose ends and execution of all her planning and hard work. Sometimes when we come in to situations like that, there is a LOT to to and to fix and things can be a little messy. That was not the case here. Jennifer had a beautiful vision for what she wanted her wedding to look like and how she wanted it to feel. With a few last minute small additions to her decor and a fantastic group of friends and family, we could not be more please with how her day turned out. They were a joyful bunch, had an absolute blast all day and both the decor and the bride and groom were just stunning. A huge bonus was working with the wonderful Melissa at McCormick Ranch Golf Club, one of favorite florist friends, Sarah’s Garden and our great friends at Andrew Jade Photography!

Meaghan & Brent - El Chorro Wedding

There are definitely some couples that you just really connect with and get to know during the planning. Full plan weddings are my favorite and not just because we get to help with everything but because I have the chance to really get to know my clients, their likes and dislikes, their personalities and humor. I was so excited for the chance to work with Megan and Brent during their entire planning process and just love the two of them so much. It helps that they were trusting in my vendor recommendations and had fantastic taste as well. Enjoy these special moments and details captured by the amazing Annie Randall Photography!

Rebecca & David - El Chorro Wedding

This wedding truly was one of my favorites. Let's start with Rebecca and David. They were genuinely two of the sweetest, nicest people I have ever met. And they way they look at each other was pure perfection, I LOVED witnessing the two of them together on their wedding day. And the design was just so much FUN! We get asked to do a lot of trendy weddings, or muted colors and we love them so much but to meet a bride that wanted nothing but the brightest of colors and a gorgeous Mexican Fiesta theme to her wedding it was such a blast to plan. The Flower Studio got her vision and executed it absolutely perfectly and we were so happy with how everything turned out. Such a bold, fun and happy day this was!

What can I say about Brittany and Ryley's wedding. This was definitely one of a kind and we loved it!! From start to finish we loved working with these two to come up with the perfect mix of elegant and boho, the perfect color scheme for Brittany and on wedding day, it all came together with perfection. Andrew Jade did such a phenomenal job capturing these two and all of their unique elements. It was truly one of our favorite weddings of the year last year and we hope you enjoy as much as we did!

Jeanne & Yongrok - Omni Montelucia Wedding

If you can just imagine the two sweetest, most caring, respectful and kind people, you would be imagining Jeanne and Yongrok. Working with these two on their wedding was an absolute dream! With Yongrok in California for school and Jeanne working in Korea, we planned every detail of their wedding through phone, email and skype, I didn't even meet them until their rehearsal! Jeanne had a perfect vision of what she wanted and totally trusted me to help her bring it to  life. With the help of a Five star vendor team, this beautiful wedding evolved into the most special and stunning day. Oh, and I can't forget to mention that this fierce girl was 7 months pregnant and KILLING her photos in AUGUST in Arizona. Not one sign of it on her face! I was SO impressed!

Rachel & David - El Chorro Wedding

I am so excited to post this wedding on the blog!  This was such a fun, beautiful wedding and an even more fun and lovely couple.  Rachel and David wanted an intimate affair with their closest friends and family, most of whom were traveling, to experience the beauty of the Arizona desert. Rachel loved the idea of using coppers, blush tones and rose golds, and I must say we loved this idea as well! It was so feminine without being too girly, and definitely gave a nod to the Arizona desert vibe.  A smooth planning process, beautiful setting, amazing vendors and of course, a loving couple, made this wedding one of our favorites to work on!

Jillian & Todd - Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia Wedding

What can I say about Jillian and Todd. From day one, planning with them was an absolute blast. Every single meeting we laughed, joked and had a fantastic time. Jillian had a vision, was very decisive and SO easy to work with. Their entire family and bridal party was a dream and I could not be happier with how their wedding day turned out. We had a fantastic list of vendors (check them out below) and Mike Olbinski captured the day with perfection! Best wishes to one of the sweetest couples we know!!

Nadine and Marc - Different Point of View Wedding

What a BEAUTIFUL wedding this was to work on!  We had so much fun planning the design with Nadine and Marc. Nadine had a vision of boho-elegant-chic, and I think we nailed it!  Bright colors, elements of metallic, and whimsical brush greenery helped captivate the vision Nadine and Marc wanted to achieve.  With so many guests were traveling from out of state, it was important for them to get a taste of Arizona; thus the magnificent views from our venue - you just can't beat it!

Rose Gold Romance at the Arizona Biltmore Resort - Styled Wedding Shoot

This job has a lot of perks, I must admit. But one of the best is when you get to collaborate with a stellar team of vendors, putting your creative ideas together to come up with a design that can showcase something new, different, trendy or just plain beautiful. I was beyond happy to work beside this amazing group of people at the Iconic Arizona Biltmore Resort to put together this shoot. It was an Elegant rose gold dream with the perfect touches of marble (check out those invites printed on a real slab of marble!), stunning roses and a cake you can NOT miss! I hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed putting it together and sharing these photo by the amazingly talented Annie Randall Photography!
