November in Phoenix is such a beautiful time for a wedding. Temperatures are practically perfect and you have selective memory that it is actually scorching most of the year. This special wedding day at the Secret Garden did not disappoint.

Sometimes it’s so hard to narrow down the photos to just a shareable handful, this was tough. The getting ready photos were full of great photo opportunities, the ceremony was emotional and the reception was full of laughter and fun. A great combination for lots of meaningful photos.

I was so sad to hear from the bride that just a week after the wedding the couple lost a grandfather. These photos became even more precious because of their loss. A reminder that you just never know when it comes to life – embrace each day.
