This barn wedding was a perfect mix of black tie style meets bohemian inspiration in the middle of the Tucson desert. Complete with a Tom For for Gucci reception dress, a custom Tuxedo, their sweet fur baby and the best personalities, B & T were made for each other! Even through the rain and wind as set up took place, these two basked in the joy of their love and were treated to a rainbow during their ceremony.
Just before I gathered the family to prep for the ceremony processional, I gave Ben and Taylor a moment. During those few short moments we joked about about the weather and Taylor said, “Hey! Maybe we’ll get a rainbow!” Little did we know they would in fact get a rainbow directly behind them for the entirety of their wedding ceremony. It was one of the most breathtaking wedding ceremonies and the perfect representation of the joy and grace that they displayed throughout the day.
T & B’s wedding was unforgettable and included a 9 piece band, sparkler cake cutting, photo booth, bloody mary bar (in honor of the bride’s love for bloody marys) elevated pampas grass center pieces, Bohemian inspired lounge, late night DJ, S’mores and fire pits and an incredible group of loved ones to celebrate along side. It was truly one of a kind and a perfect representation of their unique love story.

On March 22, 2020 J & C held an intimate, 5 person wedding ceremony at their family’s private estate in Paradise Valley and live streamed the ceremony for their friends and family to witness. It was a joyful and cheery day despite the strangeness of COVID-19 and I have never been more grateful for flowering or the hope that love brings.
