This couple is just one of the cutest!!  You can just tell how in love this darling duo is as their love is truly caught on camera!  Bride, Amanda knew just what she wanted for her big day and everything came together perfectly!  The bouquet below happens to be one of my personal favs, which I rarely will admit!  Amanda’s vision combined with Blume’s design was oh so classy and elegant!  Not to mention, I’m not sure if when she saw her Dad for the first time, or when she saw Eric for the first time on her wedding day made me smile more.  Both moments were magical!  Everything is captured for them to remember the story of their day to look back on forever!  Congrats love birds!!

There is something so perfect about this bride and groom!  From the moment that we met up with Katie and Mookie on their wedding day it was smiles from ear to ear!  It was contagious!  Every aspect from getting ready to the bride and groom on the dance floor that evening holds a different memory for me.  One of my all time favorites – the girls walking through the halls of Brophy singing, “Going to the Chapel”.  Adorable!

And get this – SMALL WORLD!  We connected with Katie and Mookie through referrals, only to meet them weeks before their wedding since they live out of state.  When we met we found that Katie and I grew up going to the same small school together in Phoenix and our worlds quickly connected with goose bumps and story telling.

First look of the ballroom before all their guests were invited in!  I believe Mr. & Mrs. Mookie’s jaws were laying on the floor!  Well done Meant 2Be Events!

The feeling is almost indescribable as the bride waits to see her groom for the first time on wedding day!  That walk down the isle takes her breathe away a bit as the groom feels the same with all eyes on him just down the end of that long walk.  It’s excitement and anxiousness combined with calm, cool, and collected, but even more so butterflies everywhere!  Literally!  They have known each other since their high school days because bride, Jackie is best friends with groom, Donnie’s sister.  As the high school years passed they spent more and more time together and their love for each other sparked.

Oh the Party-  The dance floor was NEVER bare!  The food was amazing hosting a wide arrangement of a served pasta bar and a plethora of italian food.  There was even a surprise for everyone during the reception – Donnie got on his guitar with his cousin by his side on vocals and wowed everyone with a live song.  Jackie and Donnie now have forever together and what a celebration they held to make that official.

These two lovebirds are ready to make it official!  Just one week to go before Beatriz and Chad say “I do”!

Frolicking around Sedona, AZ is always a good time – especially with this couple!  We started capturing pictures early on Super Bowl Sunday so that all would be able to catch the game later on.  HOWEVER, after the engagement shoot car troubles kept Beatriz and Chad stranded and waiting for a tow truck.  I didn’t hear the car story until weeks later – I felt so bad for them!  On the bright side – they will always have a good story associated with these adorable pictures.

Raise your hand if you’re excited to meet a bride and groom that have a modern and bold style all their own!  This wedding designed by bride, Ashley along with Amina of Some Like it Classic Wedding & Event Design chose a great color palette of purple and black.  Amazing florals were created by Your Event Florist, accompanied by an infinite love and the number eight, (∞) which meant a lot to the bride and groom throughout the wedding.  On wedding day they let their venue take the design lead and all of the vision was enhanced by several elements including the architecture of the Tempe Center for the Arts.  Ashley and Jonny had a 3+ year engagement which was well worth the wait.  See for yourself why this bride and groom are insanely fun to be around!
