A long distance relationship saw it’s fruit on a perfect Arizona day! First off, it was an outdoor wedding at Encanterra, which meant stelar wedding photos. White hydrangeas, glitter decorations and heartfelt moments overflowed on Cheyne and Lauren’s Encanterra wedding.
Everything Lauren did looked like a second from a modeling spread. She enjoyed some time with her bridesmaid and mom getting ready to see her groom for their first look. Inside her Modeca Bridal wedding dress she had her “something blue” a monogram of her wedding date.
While Lauren opened her note from Cheyne before the first look she wore a chic floral robe.
Cheyne enjoyed relaxing with his friends while he leisurely got ready. The gentleman’s getting ready room has some pretty window light!
Cheyne and Lauren chose to enjoy a first-look which meant more time for them to spend alone on their wedding day and more wedding photos to hang on their wall of the two of them.
Lauren modeled a Modeca Bridal gown and looked amazing in it!
So much laughter and joy fill a wedding day! The bridal party enjoyed every moment of taking portraits.
Cheyne and Lauren chose to write their vows on leather journals.
To celebrate the two becoming one they crafted a wooden box with their favorite wine, letters to each other and their vows to open in 7 years.
Designer Venues did fabulous work on designing this Arizona outdoor reception. If you’re planning your wedding at Encanterra I highly recommend having your reception outside! It makes for gorgeous photos to last a lifetime.
Following the ceremony Cheyne and Lauren basked in their marital bliss in Arizona’s golden hour.
The two enjoyed exploring the luscious greens that Encanterra had to offer for a wedding couple’s big day!
Veils make for some enchanting photos! I love the veil Lauren wore from Uptown Bridal.
Every detail that Lauren planned had exquisite taste. All the jewelry she wore was from Nordstrom.
To start the celebration Cheyne and Lauren performed a choreographed first dance.
Cheyne and Lauren enjoyed their first dessert together from Lisa’s Rum Cake in the ambiance light.
Everyone enjoyed the wedding toasts!
To mark the start of something new, the two lit a lantern in celebration of their union!
Congrats Cheyne and Lauren for becoming one!
