McCormick Ranch Golf Club Wedding: Josh + Lauren

Josh and Lauren planned their wedding to be celebrated at Arizona’s golf resort, McCormick Ranch Golf Club. Their wedding day was filled with heartfelt tears, many loved ones and the focus of God as the center of their marriage. Thank you Josh and Lauren for inviting me to watch your love story unfold and document your commitments to one-another for this journey called life.

The excited couple got ready at the Scottsdale Conference Center. Lauren thought of every detail while planning her special day; every gift she gave was well thought out and spoke to that individual’s heart.

Josh started his wedding day showered with prayer and reading God’s word; he prepared not only his outward appearance but his heart!

Lauren gifted him these personalized cuff links, “2.21.2015 ‘and’ LOVE YOU MORE”.

Lauren was an enchanting bride; she wore a breathtaking lace Allure’s bridal dress with a sweetheart neckline. It was an honor to see my dear friend behind-the-scenes prepare and walk out marrying the man God prepared for her.

Before the first look, Lauren gifted her parents a sweet letter that thanked them for loving and molding the woman she was today!

Josh and Lauren’s first look is my favorite first looks I have seen for the year 2015. There was so much beauty and love on how they looked at one another before committing to loving one-another for life.

You two are a beautiful couple inside-and-out! Read their proposal and see their engagement photos at the Salt River.

Love and support surrounded Josh and Lauren.

Their vows and promises were shared in front of their friends and family overlooking a pebble stone lake, green Arizonian golf course and under the precious old-rugged-cross.

I love Lauren’s father’s reaction seen on the right side of this photo!

Following their ceremony we ventured on golf carts and roamed McCormick Ranch’s green rolling hills.

Golden Kate did a spectacular job on decorating their classic-romantic wedding. As an Arizonian wedding planner, Kate goes above and beyond; she carefully crafted each floral arrangement for their special day!

Golden Kate did a wonderful dessert display. Check out those adorable dessert label stands.

During cocktail hour the guests took polaroids for Josh and Lauren to have recent pictures of their loved ones.

Josh’s father gifted them a few tokens in honor of Josh’s Native American roots: a blanket to keep them warm, a vase to toast their union and an eagle feather for their loyalty to one-another.

The happy couple danced and laughed the evening surrounded with love and joy.
