“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine /
You make me happy when skies are gray /
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you/
Please don’t take my sunshine away”
All the sunny and spring vibes were out for this radiant wedding at a Private Estate in Arizona. Grand wide open sunflowers bursting with their golden rays complimenting the burgundy bridesmaid gowns and deep sky blue groomsmen suits. This day was kept 100 percent natural, taking on southern feels with a soul-try woodsy theme. The newlyweds created this day to be a hearty and intimate one. They spent precious time together with each other and with their closest family and friends.
Max and Catie’s wedding took place at the bride’s Private Estates in Chandler, AZ.
Just a few girlfriends getting ready, throwing their heads back as they laugh at their fondest memories together. All while holding glasses of champagne. Sunflower robes wrapped the bridesmaids up as a part of their getting ready time. They were also spoiled with thoughtful thank you gifts from the bride.
As the groom waiting to see his bride for the first time, he showed off the gift of time his beloved gave him.
The bridesmaids continuing to play and embrace together as the celebration was just getting started.
Whimsical floral designs with fresh open sunflowers were a hit and the precious flower girls were a heart melting stand out.
There were plenty of adorable flower girls and ring bearers to “awe” about.
The bride stands eloquently and with dignity, dressed in her pure white bridal gown, adorned for her one and only.
Here is the sharply colored and styled deep sky blue suit, fitted just for this groom.
She peeks from behind her floral bouquet to surprise her boo with a vivacious first look.
The selfless bride is sharing her devotion of love for her soon to be husband. He will never forget this moment that she created; a wonderful moment of hearing her overwhelming love for him.
The bridal party is having a ball celebrating their dearest friends.
A favorite moment is to witness ring bearers observe a couple getting married.
The couple spent most of the ceremony under the handcrafted arch created with love from a family member.
When she takes the first steps down the aisles and all eyes are her, everyone’s reaction reflects her beauty. There is gift for a bride who chooses to have two different first looks. One takes place between her and her groom, and the other one is with their loved ones. Both of these expressions are worth a million.
With the clouds rolling in on their ceremony, there were rays of sunshine beaming through, just like the rays of the sunflowers were. The yellow rays of the flowers and the sun become one as the couple were becoming one.
The bride’s mom witnesses her daughter promise her vows. This is a moment a mom realizes the joy of her little girl forging her own love story.
Max and Catie are “newlywed” official. The time to party begins!
They choreographed the best ceremony exit ever as each bridal party couple did a fun dance expression down the aisle. They were the kick off to the reception party!
The couple shared sweet embraces following their vow commitments!
The reception was full of special touches including handcrafted wood slates, calligraphy painted signs, and yellow wildflower garden centerpieces.
The little details made the brightest marks of the reception. The burst of orange, white, and yellow florals combined with the natural and woodsy elements brought warmth to the night.
The special couples shares their first dance as Mr. and Mrs. The starry night was filled with A LOT of dancing, good food and great drinks.
