While Aimee lived in Scottsdale, Jason lived in Oakland. Jason and Aimee’s line of work would be what closed the gap for them. They were in contact with each other through professional e-mails trying to implement a new software system. As a couple of work related emails were exchanged, they decided to exchange personal e-mail addresses. They soon started to organize times and places to meet. They officially met in the Scottsdale area for some Mexican food at Los Sombreros and soon after they started dating. Who knew that five years later in Arizona, they would be saying “yes” to a lifetime of saying “yes” to each other in commitment and devotion? For more of their love story on how Jason proposed, see their engagement story here.

On May 14th, 2016 at the Phoenix’s Desert Botanical Garden on a bright Arizona summer day, Jason and Aimee became one. Their wedding was all-together chic and considerate since they rocked the eco-friendly yet graceful style.

Thank you to the newlyweds. Your sweet love was aromatic and you had such sweet spirits considering the warm weather. It was a pleasure for me to meet all your friends and family who traveled from: Australia, California, Oregon, Ohio, Texas, Florida and Tennessee. Grace and Peace, April.

Jason and Aimee’s wedding was filled with amazing conscientious eco-friendly wedding details at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona.
