lindsey + travis {married} phoenix wedding photography

lindsey and travis are architects in chicago ... they met class. :) this wedding was so intimate and we really loved it... they were married in her parents beautiful backyard and had their reception the next day at one of their favorite restaurants cheuvront wine bar. the restaurant just happens to be across the street from phoenix public library which was designed by will bruder, an architect they studied about in school.

ceremony: private residence
reception: cheuvront restaurant and wine bar
wedding dress: internet purchase
wedding design: lindsey and travis
reception jams: joel davis - the dj epidemic

to see their full wedding day and reception celebration click here or on the slideshow below...



these portraits are all around the phoenix public library ... we love how graphically the images are composed... it fits their background in architecture!

the succulents are so cute and appropriate for an arizona wedding as favors ... they took a design fro one of their favorite architects and used it as a graphic on their name cards and table numbers ...

cheuveront has a section in their restaurant with great colorful opaque fabrics... we had fun playing with that in their romantic portraits....

lindsey and travis, we had a great weekend with you two! thank you so much for having us be a part of your celebration!

~xoxo~

sage + kevin { wedding at the sanctuary camelback mountain }

we were so excited for sage and kevin's wedding at the sanctuary camelback mountain resort. their adoration for each other was always apparent... from our first meeting through the end of the wedding ... you could always see how much sage and kevin adore each other! it was an arizona destination wedding for a lot of kevin's family, as they few in from canada to enjoy some gorgeous arizona weather.

sage has one of those amazing mom's who is good at everything! they own a clothing boutique called hush hush (at 10810 n. tatum blvd. near the trader joe's) ... if you live in arizona it's definitely worth going too to find your next super cute outfit. she and sage planned the most gorgeous details ... from the bling on the backs of feathers being tossed by the flower girl, to the feather spheres and dancing jewels hanging from the trees. it was an amazing and detail rich wedding.

the best part, though, were all the emotions and moments that happened throughout the day and seeing the love their family and friends share for kevin and sage. the day could not have been any more perfect! we are so happy for you both!

venue: sanctuary

...my favorite detail shot of katrina's for the day..



fabulous details ... the gorgeous invitation is from julie gibson, whom we also know and adore.. if you are needing invitations that are an experience unto themselves, you have to contact julie at studio grace!



the shot on the left is all the girls getting super excited about sage's amazing dress...



the dress that caused so much excitement ...

oscar de la renta ... it fit sage perfectly!







these next four are andrew's ... he's great at layering images ... i love how you can see kevin's mom watching as kevin practiced his bow tying skills ...



this is a before and after ... kevin was practicing his bow tie for a while. ;) we think he got it just right...



a coin in your shoe for good luck? ... how about two?... one from the u.s.a and another from canada (where kevin is from)... how cute!



this is right before sage and kevin saw each other for the first time ... love the excitement on everyone's faces! see the sneak peek or slideshow for the images that followed...



one from andrew ( left) and one from katrina ( right)...



this fantastic series is from andrew... he shot from above while katrina was shooting the following image below ... team work is great! :)



there are a lot of graphically rich areas around the sanctuary that are perfect for portrait-taking...



the directional light was fabulous in this room at the sanctuary..



we found this great spot with art on the wall, hidden away ... loved it for some "serious" images :)













kevin actually was looking away for a while to keep from crying... and then this look when their eyes finally met ... so sweet! ... captured by andrew from the back of the ceremony..



meanwhile, just moments later, sage was full of emotion ... it was a beautiful moment ... since katrina was hidden away in the front, she was able to capture it.





andrew was able to sneak this shot in of sage's mom watching during the ceremony ... we love to capture the expressions on parent's and guests faces during the ceremony because usually the bride and groom don't notice as they are usually fixed on each other.



lots of details ... as mentioned above the cake is by julia baker and the floral work by avant garden flowers ... instead of a lot of smaller tables they had 5 or 6 rows of long tables which was unusual and made for really creative floral displays. also i can't say enough about adding lighting to rooms, it really helps make a room even more gorgeous for pictures



they named their tables "i love you" in different languages ... sooooo sweet. something to consider if you were just considering using table 1 ... table 2 etc. makes it personal and full of character





...i ( andrew) loved this portrait katrina got, capturing sage and kevin's reflection in the brushed stainless wall..



thank you so much, kevin and sage :) we're looking forward to putting together your wedding album!

~xoxo~
