Paris and Wes wedding got married late in the afternoon in early October at Paris's parents' beautiful home in the McDowell Mountains in Scottsdale, Arizona. We had taken Paris and Wes's engagement photos in Scottsdale a couple months earlier and we were touched by the incredible love they have for each other. We had laughed with them as Paris recounted how nervous Wes was when he proposed to her on the beach on a trip they had taken with her family. At the beginning of the ceremony, when Paris exited the door and stepped out onto the path that was an inch deep with red and yellow rose petals, Wes's eyes brimmed with tears and his smile was so bright! Paris's white gown and veil with beading was absolutely gorgeous.
We were so excited when we found out Paris was having yellow, along with red, as her wedding colors, because mmm yellow is sooo pretty! The colors ended up really matching the amazing sunset that evening.
Married!
We love getting portrait-type photos where the person in the image is aware they are being photographed, but there are still a ton of details that tell the story of what is happening at the wedding, like this one of the little boy holding the bouquet for his mom. So cute!
After the ceremony, we walked down the road with Paris and Wes to get some images of just the two of them before the sun completely set on the desert. The sunset was on fire and it was so much fun to be out on the street with them getting photos. Up the road you could hear music and the party getting started and so we soon walked back up to the house, but I think that was my favorite part of the wedding, being out amongst the cactus and seeing all the amazing colors sunsets in Arizona can be and just getting photos of the two of them. Thanks Paris and Wes for having us there to document your beautiful wedding!
