Wedding at Tucson Botanical Gardens

A Wedding at Tucson Botanical Gardens is everything you could want for a Tucson wedding day celebration: it’s centrally located inside Tucson, it has desert flora and fauna alongside plants less commonly seen in the desert, and it has the most magical corner for your first dance. Like, seriously. It’s perfect.

When I dreamed of shooting a wedding at Tucson Botanical Gardens, I could never have fully dreamt the decadence and majesty of a desert sunset at the Botanical Gardens. I mean, ever corner was filled with more beauty and every moment was ripe with joy.

See, I love Arizona. Not only is it a stark contrast to my normal Pacific Northwest lushness, it’s also the home to both of my siblings and their ridiculously adorable children.  Any excuse to hang out in the land of adorable nieces and desert sunsets? I’m a fan!

Plus, for this trip I spent four action-packed days working  with local wedding vendors to create three uniquely inspiring wedding sets to feature in my brand-new Tucson Wedding Planning Guide. (If you want to see a print copy of the magazine, go see any of the featured vendors! They have their copies now! =D)

And when the Calla Blanche Dress is this  full of intricate details and so perfectly pair with a veil (both from J. Bridal Boutique), my joy is overflowing!

(Did you know you can get macarons from Whole Foods Market? You can! And they’re delicious!)

Mayfield Florist exceeded all expectations with this bouquet inspired by a desert sunset: so many unique blooms and such much dense color! I am unabashedly a fan of the crew at Mayfield now that I’ve seen their work first-hand!

While I’m gushing, though: CHECK OUT THIS PAPER SUITE!  Lily and Layla Designs is a custom digital invitation designer who sells on Etsy and I’m such a fan of her work!  (She’s a gem, to boot, so that is icing on the cake!)

Remember how I mentioned a magical first dance if you have your wedding at Tucson Botanical Gardens? Here’s the moment.

For best results, time your first dance riiight a dusk when the sun is setting and the twinkle lights are at their brightest. Turn on your song, listen to your guests gasp at the beauty of the moment, and then dip into the fiercest kiss of your wedding day. <3 

This gorgeous inspiration wedding would not be possible without some insanely amazing Tucson wedding vendors:

Instagram post 2196016681238931928_49906028 Easily the HIGHlight of my year (pun absolutely intended): standing (almost) a mile high with these two traipsing through sunset and sunrise in their wedding garb.⁠ ⁠ Adding adventure honeymoon portraits to your wedding plan takes effort (like hiking 11km!) and sacrifice (can you say "putting on a wedding dress in a tent"?!?!) and dedication (packing in everything you'll need for a photoshoot plus food + water + tent!) but OHMYGOODNESS the photos make it completely worthwhile.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #lifeofadventures #letswander #roamtheworld #visualwanderlust #stayandwonder #portraitpatrol #creativeportrait #vancity #lowermainland #fraservalley #exploreabbotsford #explorefraservalley #fraservalleyadventurist #takeabreak #marriedadventure #photographerlife #realcouplesofBC #meetthephotographer #fraservalleyweddingphotographer⁠ #langleywedding #vancitywedding #vancitybride #vancouverbride #realcouplesofBC #realbridesofBC #bcwedding #langleyphotographer #embracehopeBC #weddingwirecanada #fraservalleyphotographer
Instagram post 2195317048949914928_49906028 It's noon on Monday and today I already have: had a phone meeting, delivered a gallery, spent time troubleshooting a tech issue, walked the neighborhood, scheduled two upcoming shoots, emptied my email inbox, culled a shoot, drafted a Christmas card design for a client, and (most importantly!) made lunch. As a creative entrepreneur juggling all the things, it's not uncommon to have a day as varied as this one and that's exactly what I love about being my own boss. No chance to get bored and no greater motivation than exceeding my own standards and expectations. Now for errands and maybe some housework before this afternoon's session. #entrepreneurhustle #leadershipcoaching #growthmindset #mindsetiseverything #betteryourself#bestyou #dontsettle #girlpreneur #visualcontent #iamtheeverygirl #bossbabetribe#womenwholead #lovemybiz #herestocreatives #calledtocreate #womanwithambition #creativechics#womenwholead #creativebusinessowner⁣ #girlboss #creativepreneur #onthegoceo

Instagram post 2192322546993301458_49906028 I'm still delighted and amazed at what an overwhelmingly popular photo this proved to be in last month's cover contest for my annual #fraservalleywedding magazine. Still not telling whether it's going to be the cover photo, BUT the magazine is on its way to me from the printer and once the cover model sees herself in print THEN I will tell you who's on the front. =D⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #realcouplesofBC ⁠ #vancity #langleybc #weddingday #weddingplanning #vancitybride ⁠ #weddinginspiration #chasinglight #neverstopexploring #photobugcommunity #ilovebc #weddingwirecanada #604now #bridalphotos #bcwedding #livefolk #huffpostido ⁠ ⁠ #vancitybride #vancouverbride #realcouplesofBC #realbridesofBC #bcwedding #langleyphotographer #embracehopeBC #weddingwirecanada #fraservalleyweddingphotographer #thefraservalley #fraservalleywedding
Instagram post 2191529724751965211_49906028 Today marks the first Wednesday morning since September that I am not spending the whole morning at church leading a Bible study. It's a little weird, admittedly, to not have my normal routine this morning so I somehow ended up scheduling three (four?!) different events today. Ha. A whole month off for Christmas break feels half excessive and half welcome but mostly just welcome.⁠ ⁠ With wedding season almost over (just finishing up one more wedding for delivery!), a break from routine is going to mean catching up on on rest and housekeeping. ;-)⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #weddingrings #weddingringset #weddingringwednesday #engagementringideas #dreamring #ringgoals #ringbling #ringoftheday #macro_drama #macrophoto #105mm #bokehphotography #primelens ⁠ #entrepreneurhustle #growthmindset #mindsetiseverything #betteryourself #girlpreneur #visualcontent #iamtheeverygirl #bossbabetribe#womenwholead #lovemybiz #herestocreatives #calledtocreate #womanwithambition #creativechics#womenwholead #creativebusinessowner⁣⁠ #girlboss⁠ ⁠
Instagram post 2190892941635823210_49906028 One of my favourite moments is the one riiiight after the ceremony when the bride and groom finish their recessional, ignore their guests for a minute (I'm following at a distance :-P) and celebrate the JUST MARRIED feeling. It's usually a hug, a kiss, and a "wow, look at us wearing wedding rings!"⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #realcouplesofBC ⁠ #fraservalley #vancity #fraservalleywedding #langleybc #weddingday #weddingplanning #vancitybride ⁠ #weddinginspiration #chasinglight #neverstopexploring #photobugcommunity #ilovebc #weddingwirecanada #604now #bridalphotos #bcwedding #livefolk #huffpostido #mountainbride⁠

Instagram post 2186592105929650551_49906028 Shooting a wedding after dark on a snowy, cold, icy day isn't usually a challenge...but when the power goes out at the reception? Now THAT is a headscratcher!⁠ ⁠ Thanks to ridiculously high tech cameras and battery-operated twinkle lights, it wasn't impossible but it sure was a test of my tech skills. ⁠ ⁠ I guess what I'm saying is that if I can take beautiful photos in the pitch black, I can definitely photograph your wedding with finesse.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #langleywedding #vancitywedding #vancitybride #vancouverbride #realcouplesofBC #realbridesofBC #bcwedding #langleyphotographer #embracehopeBC #weddingwirecanada #fraservalleyphotographer #fraservalleyweddings #fraservalleyweddingphotographer #thefraservalley #fraservalleywedding #explorefraservalley #bcweddingphotographer
