The backyard setting lent an intimate and personal touch to the festivities. Tabitha and Mark chose the golden hour for their ceremony—an ode to their love and the beauty of nature. What set this event apart was their decision to forego the traditional first look, opting for the allure of a sunset ceremony.

As an Arizona wedding photographer, this presented an exciting challenge. I was able to set up my studio equipment and capture the couple against a tailored white backdrop, adding timeless elegance into their love story. The absence of a first look only heightened the emotion and anticipation, resulting in candid, genuine moments that were pure and heartfelt.
