Desert Foothills Events Wedding: Brendan + Meagan

Here comes the bride all dress in white holding the hand of her dearly beloved. Her tulle gown flowing behind her like the princess royalty that she is. Her dashing groom standing strong and steady on their walk into the sunset after they made commitments to devote their lives in the good and the bad. Emotion flooded the ceremony a few times and moments of celebration popped through the atmosphere during the reception. Brendan and Meagan’s Desert Foothill Wedding superseded any expectations because of all the ear to ear smiles, eye watering tears of joy, and heartfelt words of affirmation. A soft and delicate pastel pinks, lavenders, and sage color palette set the aura of grace, romance, and whimsical wonder. Their love jumps right off the portraits and into our hearts.

As a part of the groom’s getting ready he opened the love letter his bride wrote to him. JW MARRIOTT PHOENIX DESERT RIDGE RESORT AND SPA provided the groom and bride with their own bridal party getting ready room where enjoyed fun personal “getting ready” moments.

The groom and groomsmen soak up the Arizona warmth while soaking up the quality time they get to spend with each other before he sees his bride for the first time.

Strapping groomsmen standing tall beside the groom showing their strength as a pack as brothers do.

We took the girls out to the light sandy grounds of the Arizonian desert to show off all of their beauty. The pastel pinks combined with the vintage sage and desert grounds left that whimsical touch. The bride and her bridesmaid sure knew how to have a good time together during their shoot.

Brendan and Meagan’s ceremony at the DESERT FOOTHILLS EVENT VENUE had just the right amount of enchanting elements to bring the romance of their love story to life.

The moment of trust from Meagan’s dad to give his daughter’s hand away to the man who promises to take care of her for the rest of their life.

Love the combination of rustic elegance in the middle of the desert beauty.

To stand before the one your soul loves and feel secure enough to give yourself fully to them calls for a moment of joyous tears.

Tender moments of affection as they officially become Mr. and Mrs. before their closest family and friends.

As the couple enjoys some sacred intimate time shortly after becoming newlyweds, their guests’ enjoyed a lit up and charming cocktail hour.

As the wind catches the veil, there is a still moment for the groom to catch his bride with a sealed kiss.

Precious real love can be seen in the eyes of lovers. Brendan and Meagan have eyes deeply in love with who their spouse is all about.

Love is more than just one day of saying “I do.” It is an every day choice that we get to wake up to and say “yes” to. Every morning we get to step out of bed declaring “yes! I choose to love you dearly today.”

A chandelier warm lighting reception had all the cozy, intimate, and relaxed feels for the rest of the night.

Gold plated table settings were a subtle detailing that made a loud elegant statement.

Calligraphy written escort cards perfectly put at each place setting to help guide guests’ know their seat.
