Scottsdale Plaza Wedding: Juddy + Madison

Juddy and Madison had the best of both worlds when they said, “I do”. Their wedding day had a combination of an intimate backyard ceremony atmosphere and a fancy ballroom reception at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort on September 6, 2014.

Juddy and Madison decided to do a first look. Madison’s expression was precious.

They had a donkey carry beer around to the guests before the ceremony. I asked Madison why the donkey and she said, “because he’s cute.” I couldn’t agree more, donkey’s are a great addition for a vibrant wedding celebration.

Look at his beautiful crown of flowers; doesn’t his expression melt your heart?

One of my favorite moments of the day was when the young flower girl was shy about walking down the aisle alone during the ceremony. The crowd was filled with “aww’s”. Some chivalry was painted when one of the groomsmen led the flower girl down the aisle.

Juddy’s expression has he sweeps his new bride off her feet during their first dance.

It was the funniest father of the bride’s speech.

Juddy and Madison hired one of the best DJ’s in Arizona. The lighting for the reception was incredible.

This couple had one of the most creative reception ideas: guests trains and glow-in-the-dark-glow-sticks. Their wedding was the apidamey of celebrations.
