Brian & Laura were married Saturday at The Royal Palms in Scottsdale. They got married 8 years to the day since they were engaged.

I am so blessed to have gotten to know these two. We bonded over our intense love for our dogs. And along the way I found that they take in every moment of life fully and are two of the most grateful, kind people I've had the pleasure of working with. Laura must have exclaimed at least 50 times throughout her wedding day -- "I'm so lucky!" It was such a joy to watch them savor every moment and relationship throughout the day.

Here are some of my favorite images from their day:
I love this moment between Laura and her mom:
Because Brian and Laura's ceremony started after sunset, they took my advice and saw each other ahead of time for portraits. They had one of the most emotional and touching first looks I've witnessed. Both cried and I think they were frozen in this position for about 10 minutes:
We found some amazing light on the property and they took some time to exchange gifts. I love these:
Brian and Laura were so sweet together and were so in the moment that I gave very little direction during our portrait time.
They included all of their siblings, nieces and nephews in the bridal party:
Check out this cutie:
I loved the setting of their Katuba signing:
And I love how full of emotion this shot is:
The ceremony took place in a beautiful garden:
The sun was set so I maxed out my camera settings. These were taken with my 50mm 1.2 at f1.2, 1/80 sec. & ISO 3200 and I love how they came out!
The details and food at the reception were amazing:
They had a kids table with a centerpiece just for them:
The first dance:
Man, I love the Hora. SO MUCH FUN!
And a few more faves from the reception. You could feel the love everywhere you turned!
What a joy you were to work with Brian & Laura! Many blessings on your life together!
