Brittany and Chris' Engagement Session, Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix, AZ

Brittany and Chris, who will be married out of state this fall, wanted their Engagement Session to be in a natural Arizona locale with a organic feel to it. Sedona was a bit too far given time constraints, so the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix seemed like a perfect choice. We had photographed weddings there before, but never an Engagement Session, and were excited to give it a shot without the schedule of a busy wedding day. The late March weather, abundance of wildflowers, and textural elements of cactus and even Dale Chihuly glass sculptures provided the perfect backdrop for these two soon-to-be-marrieds. We wish them the best!

Kristie and Tim's Wedding, Regale! at DC Ranch, Scottsdale, AZ

Kristie and Tim chose a beautiful March day to exchange vows at Regale's Plaza on Market Street. Some fun and stylish trends they brought to their wedding included gray suits for the guys (rather than the standard black tux), navy dresses for the ladies, a wedding "fingerprint" tree (an awesome alternative to the guestbook!), and ornate, potted succulents for the guests to take home.

Congrats to the O'Connors as they start their family together!

Mercediez and Andrew's Wedding, Regale! at DC Ranch, Scottsdale, AZ

We first met Mercediez and Andrew back in September of 2011 for their Engagement Session, and were thrilled to spend more time with the two of them as they celebrated their February wedding day at Regale! at DC Ranch in Scottsdale. These two kept us entertained and on our toes, strutting down the aisle to Inner Circle's "Bad Boys", hopping walls, posing for an "arrest patdown", smashing cake in each others' faces, etc. We had a wonderful time documenting their day together and wish them the best!
