Our time with Lindsey and Geoff started late Friday afternoon at St. Barnabas on the Desert, in Scottsdale near Paradise Valley for their wedding ceremony rehearsal. From there we headed to The Mission in old town Scottsdale for drinks and their delicious rehearsal dinner (thanks again for the spectacular food!). We had an absolute blast with this couple both days that we spent with them. The following morning we met them at Hotel Valley Ho where they were preparing for their big day. The suites at this Hotel are ridiculous. Lindsey’s room had a hot tub in the room, next to the bed, what the??

After everybody was dressed and looking good, we drove to St. Barnabas for their ceremony. From the sound of the church name we expected an old dark cathedral, but the church was very bright and colorful, perfect for photos! The church just had a million dollar pipe organ installed earlier this year, which was the backdrop for their wedding ceremony.

Their reception consisted of family formals near the entrance to the Desert Botanical Garden, a short 3 mile hike to the reception area, an hour of cocktails, some sunset photos, and a fabulous band from Kansas City that provided the entertainment for the evening. Their dinner was held outside and the weather couldn’t have been better. Saturday night was the first cool evening of the season!

Phoenix Wedding Photographer and Scottsdale Photography

We were so excited to photograph Meg and Jeff’s wedding for so many reasons. This was our first wedding after taking some time off this summer and I think we actually started to miss going to weddings every weekend! Another reason, is that this couple is one of the sweetest couples you will ever meet or hear about. Their story is seriously inspring and their wedding day was a joy to be a part of. Meg (especially) has gone through so much this last year and her and Jeff have maintained amazing attitudes through the wedding planning process. We are so thrilled that they chose us to document their day.

Here is the slideshow that we played at their wedding reception:

And here are a few of our favorites – Desert Mountain wedding pictures:

This has been one of the busiest 2 months Visionyard has ever had. We’ll be sharing some of our favorite wedding photos from the last 10 weddings and won’t be saying much more than the simple specifics of each event. I will say this, the last 2 months have been crazy and we work for the coolest couples ever. We have some more great weddings coming up before the end of the year and can’t wait to show everyone more of our wedding photography examples. Paula and Jesse were married at Ancala Country Club on September 26 in Scottsdale, AZ. Here are a few of our favorite pictures from their wedding:

This photo is from Leigh and Nick’s wedding from back in June.  We will definitely post some more from this awesome wedding.  I have never experienced wedding karaoke like I did at this wedding!  I guess people from Michigan know how to throw it down!  If you haven’t seen it yet, check out their slideshow, scottsdale wedding photography.  One of our favorites…
