When Jennifer Bowen called to say that a bride and groom from Oklahoma were interested in booking an associate wedding package with me I was beyond thrilled.  I was even more thrilled when they booked me after only seeing a slideshow of my work and an album design!  The excitement continued to build when I found out that Michelle and David were getting married at the Four Seasons Resort in Scottsdale and that they were having a small, intimate ceremony and reception with all out of state guests.  Imagine my excitement when I finally met these two a couple months before their wedding and they were the nicest, sweetest and cutest couple ever!!  I was seriously in heaven!  Michelle and David were amazing to work with from the start.  At that first meeting Michelle was so incredibly organized with her wedding binder (a girl after my own heart) and they had everything planned to a T.  And on top of all the amazing organization and details you could tell without a doubt that these two were really in love!!  After hearing about all their plans for their big day I couldn’t wait for November 6th.

To start the day I met up with Michelle at the salon while she got her hair and makeup done!  This girl is gorgeous to begin with but add some makeup and fancy hair and she was stunning!

I LOVE colorful shoes with a crisp white wedding dress and Michelle’s did not disappoint!

Miss Rylee was so cute!  She is Michelle’s daughter and you can tell she is just as beautiful as her mom!  She’s also a little firecracker and was so fun to have at the wedding!  She definitely provided many laughs for us throughout the day!

Michelle was such a fun bride and actually sat on the ground without any prompting just to show David the bottom of her shoes…which she bedazzled herself!  So fun!

Michelle and David opted to have a first look, which I love!  And after they saw each other for the first time we had a chance to get some fun photos of the two of them around the grounds of the beautiful Four Seasons Resort!

Michelle and David only had less than 25 people at their wedding so the reception and dinner were very intimate.  I LOVED that they chose to have one big, square table so everyone had dinner together.

Congratulations, Michelle and David!  You were both a dream to work with and made my job so incredibly easy!  I wish you years and years of happiness and was honored to be a part of your special day!  It was gorgeous!!

And a big thanks to Kasia, Jennifer’s amazing intern!!  She did an AMAZING job second shooting with me and really helped the day go by smoothly!
