Today, we’re diving into the heartwarming love story of Sarita and Steven, two incredible individuals whose journey to forever began with a dose of mystery and a side of tacos. As an Arizona-based intimate wedding photographer, I had the immense pleasure of documenting their special day, filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

A Classy Affair: From the Omni Resort to The Clayton House

Sarita and Steven’s wedding was nothing short of elegance and sophistication. The day started with a breathtaking first look at the stunning Omni Resort in Phoenix, where anticipation and excitement filled the air. From there, we moved to The Clayton House in Scottsdale for a ceremony and reception that radiated warmth and joy. The venue perfectly complemented the couple’s vision, creating a romantic backdrop for their love to shine.

Words of Love: What Sarita and Steven Have to Say

Sarita and Steven’s love for each other is palpable, and their words beautifully capture the essence of their relationship. Sarita admires Steven’s patience, passion, and unwavering love, while Steven cherishes Sarita’s ability to inspire and challenge him to be the best version of himself. Their love story began in an escape room, where a shared passion for solving mysteries sparked a connection that would lead to a lifetime of love and laughter.

Capturing Authentic Moments: A Testimonial

One of the greatest joys of being a wedding photographer is getting to know my couples on a personal level and capturing the essence of their love story. Sarita and Steven’s testimonial speaks volumes about the bond we formed and the trust they placed in me to document their special day. From the engagement session to the final dance, I strive to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere where couples can be their true authentic selves.

In addition to photography, Sarita and Steven opted for videography to capture every precious moment of their wedding day. Their testimonial highlights the importance of synergy between photo and video, ensuring a cohesive storytelling experience that allows couples to relive the magic of their wedding day for years to come.

Their Testimony

“We were so confident in your abilities for the day of our wedding due to the time you dedicated to getting to know us as people and our expectations for our day leading up to our event. You both made us feel so comfortable. It was such a pleasant surprise to get along so well with you and that you genuinely made us feel so comfortable. You were both so easygoing and really felt like a bonus bridesmaid and groomsman. You were both so professional and balanced leading/decision-making with asking us for our preferences where it benefited the flow of the day. Our engagement session was magical and was really our first taste at what wedding activities had in store for us. Again, I cannot say enough how comfortable you made us feel. You gave us a safe space to be our true authentic selves, show our love for one another, and capture it in real time. You brought our personalities to life in a 2-D frozen moment and we will cherish them forever. We are so blessed to have these photos to remember our wedding after it isn’t this fresh. This was top priority for our day and you hit it out of the park. You captured the emotions we had on that day from happy tears to laughing on the dance floor. We are so impressed and honored you were there on our big day. 

It was never a doubt in our mind that we wanted video. We had high expectations for our wedding video from the countless music videos we’ve seen in our lives but you blew those expectations out of the water. We sobbed. You took us right back to that day, those moments and really allowed us to relive the best day of our lives. Honestly, the first interview we had meeting you over Facetime is what sold it for us. Many wedding photographers/videographers do not have the relationship, chemistry, and vibe that you two share. That was a major influence. Purely from a business standpoint, knowing both photo and video would read the same on-screen and tell a cohesive story was also a selling factor. Many separate vendor photo and video do not look cohesive when delivered back. You can tell the parties of varying styles don’t always synergize well. I have told all of my people how much we cared for you both. I genuinely want you both to keep doing what you’re doing the exact way you are doing it because you made us feel so incredibly special on our day and now we get to relive that feeling for the rest of our lives.“
