During the conversation with Rachael on the Zoom call, I remember her giddiness as she described her backyard wedding and the DIY elements which she and Hunter planned on implementing. With family traveling from the Midwest, and a killer backyard to show off after lots of hard work, it was no wonder Rachael and Hunter’s wedding was one for the books!

The soft pastels within the candy and flowers decorating the tables flowed from the ceremony space to the effortless reception space. Every tile surrounding the lifted planters was laid by hand, and the mural of the AZ Desert landscaping front and center in the backyard made for the most incredible detail shots! The mural took center stage for several photo ops and was truly just stunning.

Beyond the beauty of the backyard was the beauty of Rachael and Hunter’s shared love. Rachael and Hunter had the kind of friendship making the beginning of their marriage just thrive. It was easy to want to spend more time with them and to celebrate them both as they tied the knot! Every insightful element played an important role, and was so well thought through!

I thoroughly enjoyed celebrating this sweet couple. Rachael and Hunter, I hope you love your images for several years to come and these photos take you right back to the spot where your marriage began. Thank you for trusting me with this incredibly beautiful day!
