El Chorro, Scottsdale Arizona Wedding | Marc and Alli

It was the most perfect May weekend in Scottsdale when we arrived at El Chorro for Marc and Alli's wedding day. Huge vases filled with the most gorgeous white peonies and purple roses were being sprinkled throughout the property, creating the most beautiful colorful backdrop from this special day. Alli and Marc were all smiles as they each got ready in their respective areas; saving the big reveal for the momentous walk down the aisle. Guests arrived as we finished family photos and every seat was taken as the musicians began their serenade.

 And that's when it happened.
The smile that spread across Marc's face as he saw his beautiful bride begin his walk towards her is something I'll never forget. It was accompanied by the most happy cry I've ever seen! You could tell he was overcome with giddy joy at the site of his beautiful bride walking down the aisle. And Alli  returned the look with a beaming smile as she walked hand in hand with her mom and dad. Wearing the most becoming dress, hair and makeup perfect, it was such a site to watch as they reached each other and they couldn't help but embrace upon being united at the end of the walk!

It was such a beautiful and awe-inspiriting moment. The things dreams are made of really, and if its something I won't forget, than I am *positive* it is something Alli and Marc will be forever a special memory in they lives.

"I love my dress!  I'm normally in scrubs for work or running clothes, so putting on the wedding dress was so much fun!  I got it from Mariee bridal in Scottsdale.  My favorite part was the long train and the crystals.  I felt like it was classy but fun.  I knew it was the right one because when I put it on I could really imagine myself wearing it on my wedding day. It was also really fun to wear- it just "felt" right."- Alli

"I was at my parents house for dinner and we were talking abut the wedding and my dad was just so helpful with every aspect.  I really wanted to find a way to incorporate something that was important to him in the ceremony.  They were showing me their old wedding pictures and my dad mentioned that he still had his tie.  I then realized that using the tie to wrap the bouquet would be a perfect "something borrowed" and a really nice way to include something of my father's."- Alli 
One of my other favorite moments of the day... her smiling... at him... becuase he's seeing the beautiful little girl her raised in her wedding dress.  *and cue happy tears!!*

How sweet is this little one!?

The Wedding Ceremony

"Oh gosh- the whole evening seemed to fly by!  I think my best memory is seeing Marc as I was walking down the aisle and that feeling of excitement as I saw him smile.  That feeling of pure happiness of marrying my best friend is a feeling I will never forget." -Alli

Love this right here!"It's a Jewish tradition to have both of your parents walk you down the aisle.  It's one of my favorite things about Jewish weddings!  However, even if it wasn't a tradition I still would have liked both of my parents to walk me down the aisle.  I'm so incredibly lucky to have such wonderful parents and they have both played such an important role in my life.  They have such a happy marriage and have taught me so much about what it takes for a marriage to succeed. It was such an honor to start our wedding ceremony with both of them by my side." - Alli 

"The thing I am looking forward to the most about life with Alli is the companionship.  It's nice not to come home to an empty house.  I know there's someone there who is excited to see me and vice versa."- Marc

A sweet walk as hubby and wife. 

"El Chorro has this nice balance of being a spectacular setting with great food, but not stuffy or excessively formal.  It's beautiful and casual at the same time.  We both loved that.  Plus the view of Camelback mountain - that has meaning to both of us, as I climbed it the day after I met Alli, and Alli used to run near it every day when she lived in Phoenix.  So it's a meaningful site for the both of us." - Marc

So sweet, so intimate. 

" My favorite part of our bride and groom photo time was how relaxing it was - the fact that we'd done the wedding part and now could enjoy with friends and family.  The photos felt very natural, and everyone was so helpful." - Marc

Marc and Alli, thank you so much for letting us capture your beautiful day! You make such a great couple and we wish you many years of love, laughter and donuts!  : )
