JACKIE + GRIFFIN | WEDDING AT THE INTERCONTINENTAL MONTELUCIA (PART 2)

Welcome to Part II of Jackie & Griffin’s wedding. The amazing day took place at the Intercontinental Montelucia Resort & Spa and if you missed part I, you should check the post out here.

The ceremony & reception were over the top thanks to Angela at Angelic Grove. It was beautiful.

During the ceremony a string quartet, String Serenade, greeted the guests with some gorgeous music. Cocktail hour music was provided by Jackie & Griffin’s DJ business, TheGig, and all the guest jammed out to the amazing talent of  the Shining Star Band at the reception.

Enjoy Part II. It was beautiful.

Elise took these next 4 images and the bottom right is one of my favorites of all times. LOVE these details.

Isn’t she just so sweet?

The guest brought their puppies and they were some pretty stylish dogs if I might say.

The children were pretty cute as well!

I love this image. The flower girl was having a super time.

During Cocktail hour I went out with Griffin & Jackie for a few more pictures.

The reception was GORGEOUS as well. When we walked in all of our mouths dropped.


One of my favorite cake shots i’ve ever taken. The gorgeous cake was made by  La Dolce Pesca, and I think was our favorite cake so far of this season… the cake is one of our favorite indulgences at a wedding:)

I LOVE this tender moment that Elise got.

Yes, the dogs had their own dishes and meals.

We seriously all partied with Shining Star band. It was amazing.

Love these shots that Diana got of Griffin.

The dress kept getting stepped on, so the scissors came out and it got chopped. LOVE.

Tender Daddy/Daughter moments.

And Mother/Son Moments.

Let the PARTY Begin!!

Total first that i’ve seen. During the garter, Griffin actually pulled Jackie off the chair. And then just picked her up with ease and put her back on.

Jackie sang a little song to Griffin and he loved it!

What a beautiful night! Congratulations you two!!

Thank you to our amazing vendors.

JACKIE + GRIFFIN | WEDDING AT THE INTERCONTINENTAL MONTELUCIA (PART 1)

A while back when Jackie was much younger, her dad was watching TV and heard a stat that marriages last longer if the couples wait to get married until they are 27, so he turned to his little girl and made her a deal. He told her that if she waited to get married until she was 27 he would throw her a dream wedding that she’d never forget. So when Jackie turned 27 she took her dad up on the deal and began to put together her dream wedding. It was AMAZING.

Jackie and Griffin have been together for 5 years and they are truly in love. I heard Jackie say so many times during the day “I just love Griffin so much”. Doesn’t that just send chills up your arms? I love seeing couples who are head over heels in love with each other.

The wedding was held at the Intercontinental Montelucia Resort & Spa in Paradise Valley. Angela with Angelic Grove helped with the planning and decorating and it was over the top gorgeous. Jackie & Griffin included their entire family in all of the events, but most importantly I think, was their 3 poodles, that were as much a part of the day as anyone else. Jackie owns Oh My Dog Boutique & Spa in Scottsdale, so the wedding was very dog friendly and guests were allowed to bring their dogs to the wedding. They were treated as well as any guest.

Below is part I of II of Jackie & Griffin’s wedding.

Isn’t this dress amazing? The flower detail was gorgeous.

One of the poodles. Isn’t she adorable?

All of the poodles had their own outfits.

Doggy Hairspray? Well it’s Coat Spray, but a first for me:)

Diana hung out with the guys and got some great pics of them.

Seriously why do the guys have it so easy?? Just lounging getting some sun:)

I love my first looks!!!

Love this image Elise got of all the girls looking out the window.

The beautiful Jackie.

In action shot of me shooting the following image.

This little girl was soooo cute. I loved her outfit.

The happy family!

Jackie & Griffin, your wedding was amazing. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day. Can’t wait for you to see part II!

Thank you to our amazing vendors who truly made this wedding remarkable.

A.J. + PAUL | WEDDING AT THE INTERCONTINENTAL MONTELUCIA (Part 2)

 

If you are just joining us for AJ & Paul’s wedding make sure to check out Part I here. The wedding was stunning and took place at the Montelucia Resort & Spa in the Camelback Villa.

The reception was held on the Camelback Villa Lawn and was an outside reception so it was beautiful.

We loved every part of the night!

 

Elise got some great detail shots of the Cocktail Hour while I was out with the Bride and Groom getting a few more sunset portraits.

The next two are total FAVs of the day!

Loved the details at the reception.

AJ & Paul hired Flamenco dancers to come and entrain the crowd. It was a crowd pleaser for sure.

They then got out and danced with them. It was great!

Beautiful first dance.

I love getting pictures with my brides!! What a fun night!

A Huge thank you to all of the amazing vendors who made this day so amazing!!

A.J. + PAUL | WEDDING AT THE INTERCONTINENTAL MONTELUCIA (Part 1)

 

 

AJ & Paul had such an amazing wedding at the  Montelucia Resort & Spa. It was a true fairy tale wedding and we enjoyed the day so much!

I’ve loved getting to know AJ & Paul through this entire process, including getting to take their engagement pictures. They are so in love and I love how they interact together. It’s wonderful.

The entire day took place at the Camelback Villa, which is an amazing suite at the Montelucia Resort. Other than guys pictures, which were at Paul’s lovely home, getting ready, ceremony, & reception were all in one location, which made for such a low-key & perfect event.

Dawn, AJ & Pauls wedding coordinator, pulled off such a great event by pulling in an A team of vendors to work the wedding.

As always, we had too many favorites, so we are doing 2 parts of this wedding. For now enjoy the wonderful images of Getting ready, Portraits, and Ceremony!!

Also, a huge huge huge shout out to my amazing team that helped me capture this day. Elise, Diana, and Jennifer, I couldn’t do it without you! Thank you!

 

The Details were amazing. AJ’s dress, shoes, jewelry, and purse were beautiful.

 

I love the fans that Dawn picked up for the girls. It was record heat this weekend, and they were a welcome item.

The Ring… breathtaking.

I love these invitation images that Elise captured.

AJ is such a stunning bride. Even getting her makeup on she glowed.

Another favorite that Elise caught. LOVE this.

Another Elise Favorite.

Love this quick getting ready shot that I caught of AJ. Beautiful.

This little Flower girl was amazing.

I so wish I could take credit for this shot, but again, another Elise image.

Getting the dress on was a production, but AJ smiled the entire time!

One of my favorite from the day. Doesn’t AJ look like Audrey Hepburn?

Diana hung out with the guys and got some great shots of them.

One of my favorite shots that Diana got of the guys, Paul’s son chilling before the wedding.

The first look was wonderful. One of my favorite times of the day.

Love this shot that Diana caught.

Another Diana Favorite.

Absolutely one of my favorite pics of the day. I loved the umbrellas, they were stunning.

Love this shot Diana got right before the ceremony.

I’ve had comments on the picture below that the camera malfunctioned. If you look closely you’ll see a leg randomly in the picture. The flowers were actually on a mirrored stand and we have the most random images because of it. I think it’s awesome.

We had such an amazing day. Thank you AJ & Paul for allowing us to be a part of it. LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys!

 

A Huge thank you to all of the amazing vendors who made this day so amazing!!
