Alberta & Ryan

Scottsdale, Arizona · 20/09/2019 · 150 guests

Alberta and Ryan embracing in golden evening light

The overview

Desert light, garden flowers, one perfect hour

Alberta and Ryan married outdoors as the desert cooled, with 150 guests seated in a curve around them so nobody had a bad view. Portraits slipped into the twenty minutes of golden light that followed — the photographs say the rest.

The challenge

September heat and a 6pm ceremony left no margin for delay. Our minute-by-minute timeline ran hair, makeup, transport and the ceremony to the minute, and parasols plus iced towels kept guests comfortable through the vows.

Our approach

A curved ceremony layout, garden roses in terracotta, and our wedding website service handling travel notes for 60 out-of-town guests. The night ended with our sparkler send-off kit — 150 sparklers, one unforgettable photograph.
