Scottsdale Arizona. Our location for this stunning wedding. There is truly something magical about the desert; however, that magic is extra special in the wintertime. I arrived early on this November morning to Troon North Country Club, our venue for the reception but also where our bride Kayla was getting her morning started. After grabbing some shots of the hair and makeup process, I made my way upstairs, where Megan, the photographer, was underway shooting the detail flat lays. I introduced myself, captured some of Megan's wonderful detail posing, and returned back downstairs to retrieve the wedding dress. The cloud cover offered a wonderful opportunity to film outdoors at a time when filming would otherwise be too bright. After wrapping up details, we searched for our groom, Jordan, who was upstairs dining with his groomsmen. After some introductions, Jordan gathered his suit and made his way back outside for his getting-ready shots with his dad, Dave. Once again, the cloud cover offered perfect diffusion for us to be able to film outdoors. Back downstairs, our bride was just finishing her hair and makeup process and was ready to put on her wedding gown. As she was laced up, just on the other side of the door, we could hear her bridesmaids eagerly awaiting the big reveal. Kayla stepped out, and the tears began to flow. It was time to make our way over to the second location of the day, Our Lady of Joy. I arrived at the church just as the guests started to trickle in. I quickly made my way inside to capture the space before the guests took their seats. This stunning church, located just down the road from the country club, offered tons of natural light, a rarity at other religious venues. Guests made their way inside and took their seats as the procession got underway. Kayla made her way down the isle at the arm of her brother. After two readings, the couple exchanged their vows and rings and were prayed over by the pastor. The two then shared their first kiss and made their way back down the isle. Outside guests gathered with bubbles in hand to create a truly magical departure for the couple. Cue the slow-motion shots! Back at Troon North, the cocktails began to pour and appetizers were shared as the sun set. For those who don't already know, Arizona sunsets are unmatched, and Mother Nature pulled out all the stops for this one. Guests made their way inside as the reception got underway. DJ Damone got things started as the couple made their grand entrance to the cheers of their guests and the light of sparklers. It was then time for the couple to share their first dance, a moment they had been practicing for months. Flawless. The party officially got underway after some additional dances with Jordan's parents and after sharing a slice of their wedding cake. This was a truly magical experience from start to finish.
