“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.

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.
