Nick and Alli Wedding Day | Scottsdale Arizona Wedding

This look.
It says it all.
The absolute joy of knowing you are with the one person that makes you feel at peace, happy and whole. This is the look of someone who knows she is in good hands, and it makes our hearts skip a beat! From the very start of the day at Millenium Resort, where Alli and her girls laughed, toasted and shared gifts, to the end of the night, as Nick and Alli danced as hubby and wife, this day could not have been any more perfect!

"The dress was the first one I tried on! I went to one boutique in Del mar, ca and tried on maybe 8 dresses. I was living in Milwaukee, planning an Arizona wedding and working out of Los Angeles. This dress was classic and elegant and made me stand tall. I felt special in it and didn't want to take it off. Once it was altered it was a dream. Fit perfectly and made me feel beautiful. I will never look at it and regret choosing it. Cant ask for anything more :-)" - Alli 

Heading out to their first look!

"I was thinking about what Alli's dress was going to look like since she never let me catch a glimpse or even a hint of what it may be. And when I turned around it was better than I could have ever imagined. I thought how lucky I was to be marring such a beautiful bride." - Nick 

"His smile and smirk and humor makes me melt. I feel like we know what each other is thinking just by a look. When we did the first look there were a lot of quiet moments of just kissing and looking at each other which was special." - Alli

"My favorite time was our first look and pictures of just the two of us together. It was the only time all night where we were alone and could just enjoy the day and moments together and actually realize we were married and took this step." - Alli

 "I would say our engagement story is what I tell most to people. The banner tow plane and proposal was an unforgettable moment. Also, we worked together and dated for two years before anyone knew we were together. And now to be married with lots of people from work there supporting us is great.'- Nick

\"I'm looking forward to starting our lives together. Being together and starting a family and building a life is exciting to think about. Knowing that we have each other and are on this journey is amazing."- Alli

Thank you so much for letting us capture your beautiful day! We could not be more excited for you guys! Best to you as you go through this life as hubby and wife!

Chris and Elizabeth | Scottsdale Engagement Session

Whatever this couple has, it is it people. It is the kind of movie-like love that makes you just want to applaud the main characters for finding each other, and at the same time seems so inevitable that they had to end up together! Chris and Liz got that comfy, I knew you forever and we just met kind of love and it was so clear as we headed out to the desert for their engagement session. They laughed, they kissed, shoot I didn't even need to tell them what to do half the time! This couple just fits and I am so happy for them both! Chris and Liz, your wedding day will be here before you know it, and I can't wait for the magic to continue!

"I first knew I was in love with Chris on a random Saturday afternoon. We had picked up my nephew from his baseball game in Chris' classic Chevelle. My nephew wanted Chris to go fast and do a burnout, I was not as excited about it. Chris looked over at me and said, "do you trust me?", I knew at that moment I trusted and loved him with my entire being. ​My heart had known for a long time that I loved him, but that afternoon my head finally caught up." - Liz

 "Chris is constantly making jokes! A time that stands out was when we were driving to New Mexico for Chris to pick up a car. I joined in on the drive to keep him company. I just remember him singing loudly to the radio, making up song lyrics and inserting my name into the most random songs. We laughed the entire car ride! He will do just about anything to make me laugh and I love that about him." - Liz

"The thing I love most about her is her laugh. She tolerates my corny jokes,  she gives me pitty laughs most of the time. Its not that the jokes are bad (I'm hilarious, I make myself laugh and not ashamed of it), she just seems to be picky about what gets a laugh. However on certain occasions she lets it all go, and the best part of it is once it gets to a certain point she laughs even harder because of how hard she's laughing. Sometimes I've legitimately been worried that she'll pass out from not being able to breathe. But hearing that genuine joy and happiness from her warms me up inside and reminds me just how much I love her....even if she can't appreciate all my jokes."- Chris

"I wanted to be sure she didn't see it coming, so I picked a day that would be the last one she'd think i would propose on, my birthday. I told her that I wanted to go to a nice dinner with both our families, she thought it was strange but suspected nothing. It was the most nerve wracking dinner I've ever had. My plan was after the main course, the waiter would drop off a card and a rose to "distract" her while I got down on one knee. I still remember the look of pure shock, confusion, joy and probably 10 other emotions on her face at that moment. For the first minute, she couldn't speak and was only capable of nodding yes, until finally she was able to form actual words. She kept saying "but its your birthday" to which I would reply "and I cant think of a better present for myself." - Chris

"Our first kiss was on the night I was celebrating my 24th birthday! It was the second time we had met but I just remember feeling so comfortable with him. It was like we had already been dating for awhile. I'm not sure who instigated it (there was alcohol involved) but after our first kiss,  I knew I only wanted to kiss him from that point on. ​The next day, my friends said they had never seen me like that with a guy, completely in our own world. They all joke that Chris was the one that finally melted my heart!" - Liz

... and then the sun came out for us mid-session!

"We were just getting ready to go to bed, I knew I had been wanting to say it for awhile but I was hesitant. I knew she felt the same way, but it still did not ease my mind. There was just that lingering "what if...." that no matter how much I told myself that wasn't going to happen, it wouldn't leave. I finally convinced myself to go for it and went in. I said the first two words, no turning back now. I finished the third word followed by what seemed like an eternal silence. Really it was only about  a second later that she replied "I love you too!" - Chris

Umm her ring tho!!!!

I CAN'T EVEN. 

They love each other so much and its adorable!

Thank you Liz and Chris! Can't wait for your big day!
