Vintage Phoenix Wedding

I am a huge fan of vintage, and I do not think I will ever get bored of it. I think it will always be classic, beautiful, and very romantic style for weddings. So when the first image of this vintage wedding popped onto my computer screen, I knew I wanted to feature it. The first image was of the gorgeous bride and her stunning dress, beautiful bouquet, and killer hair and make up.  Each and every image after that had me totally hooked. I love all the pretty  details and the venue is the perfect backdrop for this lovely vintage wedding. Enjoy Monday morning with a dose of romance.

Last week I had the great opportunity of photographing Vanessa and Jairo’s wedding. A few months back I had flown in to Tucson to shoot his brother’s wedding (seen at www.elmerescobar.com) so it was a really great feeling to be invited back for Vanessa and Jairo’s wedding. We met up at Whispering Tree Ranch in Phoenix. Vanessa was finishing up getting ready so in the meantime we took her dress, shoes, rings, and jewelry out to have them featured. One thing I am adamant about is that if you put so much thought behind every detail (and Vanessa absolutely did), then there should be a time allocated in the day to capture all of them. Once we were done photographing them and she was in her dress, we took a few minutes to photograph her in her dress. Again, if she put thought and effort into it, I want to make sure she has photos of it. But of course, eventually it was time for the ceremony. But not before Jairo getting a little bit of a preview. Not visually, but he could at least touch his bride. It wouldn’t be until she was being walked down the aisle by her father that he would see her in her dress. It was a beautiful heartfelt ceremony, and the reception was just as special. With friends and family coming in from all around the country (and some from out of the country). Thank you Vanessa and Jairo for letting me be there for your special day. I wish you nothing but happiness in your new journey together!

Arkansas Chapel Wedding

With rain in the forecast, this wedding turned out to be a gorgeous one. And the lovely couple did not allow the rain to stop them from smiling all day. Actually, the rain created a beautiful backdrop for their quaint chapel wedding. Besides the obvious favorite detail of mine, the  bride and groom, what stands out is the magnificent and stunning chapel. It is absolutely amazing! This chapel wedding makes my heart very happy.  Like smiling ear-to-ear and can’t stop. See all the romantic details from behind the lens of  Elmer Escobar Photography.

Jade and Drew have this amazing quality about them, where they don’t let things get to them and they’re happy as long as they’re together. This was especially good because days leading up to the wedding the forecast was for rain and thunder all weekend. Knowing that we would be photographing at Garvan Woodland Gardens at least put us at ease if we had to shoot indoors. The beautiful chapel could make a beautiful backdrop if we had to shoot indoors. But of course those who don’t worry and don’t freak out over details they can’t change tend to get what they deserve: a nice clear day! Although it did downpour on the way to the chapel from downtown Hot Springs. By the time we got to the chapel it was slightly overcast but no rain whatsoever. Perfect!

Drew was getting ready with the guys at a different location. My second photographer captured them hanging out, getting ready and when Drew gave his groomsmen their gifts. But soon enough it was time for Drew to see his beautiful bride for the first time. We set them up on a bridge so Jade could walk up to Drew. The reaction from a groom is always a precious moment. You could see the joy Drew had when he first saw Jade. Like a kid on Christmas! They had a few moments where we could do a few photographs with them and their wedding party, but soon enough it was time to line up and make it official!

After the ceremony there was just enough time do a few more photos after family photos were taken and then we had to head back downtown to the Mountain Valley Water building for the reception. We knew by then that it was going to be a really fun reception. All of Jade and Drew’s friends were high energy party people and the band did an amazing job to get them moving. Definitely one of the most festive receptions I’ve seen. One of the moments that I’m sure will stand out to everyone was when Jade and Drew’s mothers got up and danced together. It was such a fun moment and you could see in their faces how happy they were to see their kids getting married. Thank you Jade and Drew for having us. You guys have been amazing from day one and I wish you nothing but the best now and in the future! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Osborne!
