Desert Mountain Wedding Film Trailer

view + style = a wedding to envy

Taz and Jeanette’s May wedding was a beautiful affair! The entire day was kept on track by the ever wonderful Liene Stevens, of Blue Orchid Designs, and captured on film by Jennifer Bowen!

My favorite things about Jeanette and Taz’s wedding trailer are:

1. The View: There is a time lapse shot in the wedding that show’s off the stunning view the wedding guests had.
2. The Ceremony Set Up: The courtyard, where the ceremony was held, was simply beautiful!
3. Her Dress: The cut of her dress is so flattering, I just loved it.

brophy chapel + sanctuary on camelback + victoria canada wedding and events = unbelievable

I’ll just say it. Victoria, of Victoria Canada Weddings and Events, is a detail-a-holic. She’s obsessed with details and rightly so because she’s the master of them. Every wedding I’ve ever done with Victoria has been stunning – and Devon and Eric’s wedding did not disappoint.

The ceremony was held at the exclusive Arizona wedding icon Brophy Chapel and the reception at the fashionable Sanctuary on Camelback Resort and Spa. And all of it was captured by the ever impressive Hollye Schumacher.

My favorite things about Devon and Eric’s trailer are:

1. The opening shot. The reveal from the tree is seamless and I love it.
2. The shot from the balcony during the ceremony. One of my personal favorite things about Brophy Chapel is the upper balcony.
3. The dance floor. The reception was set up in more of a club feel and the dance floor was surrounded by bench seating. It was very swanky.

sunset wedding + mad dance skills = enormously fun wedding

I found out we’d be shooting Rebecca and Dane’s wedding two days before the big day. That’s what I call last minute! So going into this wedding, I had no idea how much fun it was going to be! To give you a taste, they met over jello shots and it only got crazier from there.

The entire wedding was held at the beautiful north Scottsdale golf club, Grayhawk. Grawhawk holds a special place in my heart, because one of the first weddings I every went to was also held there!

The photographer was Micheal Fragale of MHF Photography, and he did a fabulous job of getting all of the photos in before the sun disappeared!

My 3 favorite things about Dane and Rebecca’s trailer are:
1. The quaint and intimate lawn the ceremony was held on.
2. Rebecca – every chance she had she was dancing her heart out.
3. The sunglasses they wore for the grand introduction.

I adore the Wrigley Mansion. Here in Arizona, we don’t have as many ‘old’ or vintage buildings as you might find back east, so when I get to visit a historic site I always swoon. Built in the 1930’s by the Chicago Cubs Wrigley Family, the mansion is chalk full of history.

So take a minute and check out today’s Hot Spot film of The Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix to see if it might be the perfect place for your wedding! This one’s a few short clips from a full wedding at The Wrigley Mansion in the month of March.

Keep an eye out for:
•The view! The house was built on a 100 foot knoll overlooking the valley and the Arizona Biltmore Resort.
•The wonderful greenery and flowers.
•The fun and unique ceremony location and set up.

Here’s another chance to get to know Melissa Jill of Melissa Jill Photography. Melissa is a fantastic Arizona photographer with a beautiful and distinct style that is truly her own.

A classic question to pose to children is, of course, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The answers are usually random and hilarious. Well, I can’t go back in time and ask “Little Melissa” this question, so we’ll just ask it now.

Today’s Hot Spot Is Villa Siena – In The East Valley.

I’ve always loved Villa Siena. It’s a cool wedding site for a few reasons:

First, the Tuscany theme is immaculate, even down to the pavers in the hallways.

Second, it’s a very private site, so you won’t see many people other than your guests on the wedding day, which is a definite plus.

Third, it’s just freaking gorgeous.

This Hot Spot film is about a minute long and will show you how a Villa Siena wedding can look all set up in the courtyard.

Keep an eye out for:

•The fountains. I love the one in the courtyard.
•The HUGE front doors – they are perfect for dramatic pictures.
•The beautiful ballroom with wood paneled walls.

*I decided to highlight this trailer because of the extra ordinary detail in includes.
This is a great one to get the ideas rolling on how to customize your wedding! Happy planning! Darby

dc ranch + courtyard reception = breathtaking

Teresa and Mike’s DC Ranch wedding was out of this world. Planner Victoria Canada did an outrageously amazing job on the unique details and theme – and photographer Hollye Schumacher captured it all perfectly!

My 3 favorite things about Teresa and Mike’s trailer are:
1. The gerbera daisies.
2. The bridesmaids dresses – I loved that they didn’t all match.
3. The ceremony set up, with four aisles.
