Mandi + Marty got married at Arcosanti, an incredibly unique location about an hour’s drive north of Phoenix. They planned the ceremony in less than two months – she DIY-ed a bouquet and flower crown, her mom made a cake – and they said their vows in a small grove of trees, with their closest family and friends standing in a circle around them. They realized it didn’t make sense to wait for someday when they would have more money or more time to plan the “perfect” wedding. And it reminded me — don’t we sometimes do that with our own lives? We think that we have to have it all together before we can truly experience life. Thank you Mandi + Marty, for reminding us to grab life, wherever we are, just as we are and enjoy all the beauty right here and now.  Much love to you both!

Briana + Scott got married at a family ranch, tucked away in the desert just north of the Valley. The ranch has been in Briana’s family for years, so it was a meaningful spot for these two to say their vows and celebrate their commitment to each other.  A LOT of love and effort went into the preparations for this wedding (it’s not a simple task to take a non-wedding venue and turn it into a place that can host hundreds of people!)  but we think the result was well worth it.

Briana + Scott, thanks for inviting us to photograph this incredibly special day. Much love to you both!

Olivia + Steve got married last month at Meson Sabika in Naperville, a leafy suburb of Chicago.  Olivia and Steve were so joyful and you could tell that all that mattered to them that day was their commitment to each other and sharing their joy with their friends and family, many who traveled from all over the world to be with them. Tears flowed and laughter was abundant, and it was our privilege to capture it all!

Olivia + Steve, you inspired us with your love for each and love for God. Enjoy this first look at your day! xo
