St. Mary's Basilica | Phoenix, Arizona | Jana and Lee Wedding Day

"Looking back at our wedding day, what pops out most vibrantly is all the love and support we had from our families. We had so many loved ones, family and close friends, travel in from afar to be with us on this day. It was so wonderful to be able to share this day with everyone and for our two separate families to now become one." - Jana

Can I just say I wish I would have done my hair like Jana's on my wedding day? Oh my gosh! It was perfection, looked so classy in her twisted updo and as a bonus it stayed up and perfect until her reception was over! Even though dancing and an epic cake smash! Okay now that I've just put that out there, lets get to the amazingness of this day! When Jana and Lee planned their day, they knew what was most important to them, quality time with friends and family and of course special moments between them. It was so sweet to see how the accomplished just that. From getting ready in their hotel room with the best friends, to their beautiful ceremony, to dancing the night away with the cutest little ring bearers; their day was totally them. 

Jana and Lee we are so happy for you guys as you have now become one! Being married is such an amazing blessing and we wish you both the best as you figure out your new roles and how to serve and love the other the best. Thank you for letting us capture each detail and moment from your one special day. It was amazing and we are so honored to capture your genuine love for each other! 

All our best, 
Jenn and the Studio Girls

"The whole day was emotional for me :) From the moment I woke up in the morning, I was trying to truly take in every single minute of that day. You always hear other brides say, "Enjoy the day, as it will go by fast." I remember looking in the mirror at myself once my hair stylist was finished with my up-do. Tears came to my eyes thinking, this is all so real!"- Jana

 "Walking down the isle with my two older brothers as they handed me off to Smedley, what a beautiful moment and one I had dreamed about for so long. Finally, walking with Smedley down the isle at the end of the ceremony as husband and wife! I simply can't wait to experience life with his amazing man!" - Jana

"The moment I remember most of Jana in her dress is when we were standing face to face in front of the altar and all our guests reciting our vows. It was such a special moment and Jana looked absolutely stunning. The moment was perfect, and Jana was gorgeous." - Lee

"My favorite part of the day was holding hands at the alter with Smedley, looking into each others eyes and reciting our vows to one another. Although the whole day was quite magical and was just as we had envisioned for our wedding day, being in that specific moment in time I remember wishing time would just stand still for a moment so we could take everything in."- Jana

"Looking back at our wedding day, what pops out most vibrantly is all the love and support we had from our families. We had so many loved ones, family and close friends, travel in from afar to be with us on this day. It was so wonderful to be able to share this day with everyone and for our two separate families to now become one." - Jana

"Mainly, when I talk to people I just tell them about how much fun we had. This day was by far, the best day of my life! I got to marry my best friend, and we had a blast celebrating with all of our friends and family." - Lee

"Picking one favorite moment of the day is so tough. The whole day was absolutely amazing and it is very difficult to pick out one moment as there were so many great ones on our wedding day. If I had to choose one hour to re-live it would be the dancing at the reception. I had so much fun dancing with all our family and friends, and of course, my beautiful bride." Lee

Thank you guys so much! Best to you both in life and marriage!

12 West Main Wedding Photos | Mesa, AZ Photographer | Kevin and Claire

Claire and Kevin are the type of people that everyone wants to be friends with. 

You know the type. Confident, friendly, good sense of humor, strong family ties and a thirst for a good time.  They are good people, and so they naturally surround themselves with other great people. 

And so, on March 13th, the friends and family of these two gathered and celebrated this amazing couple at the Mesa Arts Center as they become one before Christ. The day could not have gone more perfectly. From the laid back mood as the guys got ready that morning in the basement, to the ladies laughing all through photos together, to the sweet walk down the aisle as Kevin tried to keep it together. This wedding was full of amazing moments and hilarity along the way. 

The party afterwards at 12 West Main needs no explanation as the photos tell all, but I can honestly say I laughed so much during the speeches - like hilarious! It was such an amazing wedding and being there to capture the love these two have for each other was a dream. Their attraction is tangible and their joy contagious. 

Best to you Claire and Kevin as you continue life as man and wife! 

Much love, 

Jenn Wagner and the team!

"I think my favorite time of the day was getting ready and the prayer before the wedding.  This time was so fun and special because I had spent so much time and energy planning that I forgot to remember what was actually happening!! The morning of leading up to the ceremony, I was able to just spend time getting so excited to marry my best friend.  The anticipation and excitement built throughout the day as I just celebrated with the people around me and anxiously awaited the actual event!!  " - Claire

"I remember feeling pretty emotional a few times throughout the day.  The first was when Kevin and I prayed together.  That was such a meaningful time for us to pause and have a moment with Christ.  Also, when I was waiting in one of the rooms by myself while the grandparents, mom and wedding party walked down the aisle.  It was the first time all day that I had been alone and I felt so overwhelmed by everything (in a good way!)  I had a moment between myself and God to prepare for what was about to happen which was neat. The  parent dances and speeches were really emotional as well of course, especially with my dad!" - Claire

" I was glad the ceremony space was mostly shaded by the time the wedding started, we were worried about that. Everything else I expected, except for how much I reacted to when I first saw Claire come around the corner. Inside, I lost it. Outside, I was grinning ear to ear. She’s beautiful!" - Kevin

 "We also both loved the time spent taking pictures because it was the first time that we were alone and getting to enjoy just the excitement of becoming husband and wife!!! " - Claire

"The time we had walking around getting our post-wedding pictures taken was amazing because everything was fresh in our minds regarding the ceremony, and we were able to sneak in some small talk which was special. After everyone stole her away from me all week and she was busy planning everything, I was glad to sneak off to Mexico with her for 5 days with PHONES OFF!!! :) :) :)" - Kevin

"We laugh a lot about some  of the dancing that went  on at the wedding! We  have hilarious flashbacks of specific people or songs that were so fun! We also had a funny moment realizing that we were heading to the wrong hotel once we left the reception. Luckily we figured it out  before we got there, but that was just a funny wrench in the day. We also laugh about the random star wars characters that showed up! It was such a strange but funny memory for both of us the next day to suddenly remember that!" - Claire

"Another would be the star wars characters showing up and dancing, that was hilarious! Another thing often mentioned is how many things went wrong/unplanned like the the violinist playing all the wrong music during the processional (our photographers were great though) and yet even with those things, everyone had a blast and hardly noticed. It was a great party and everyone did their part in making it so special. We’re so grateful!" Kevin
