Whispering Tree Ranch Wedding | Amber + Kevin

“To love is nothing. To be loved is something. But to love and be loved, that’s everything.” — T. Tolis

I found this quote to be very fitting of Amber and Kevin’s love; not only because they have been together close to a decade, not only because they are visibly an extension of each other’s hearts, but because they are so incredibly loved by everyone around them.  I have become friends with Amber over the last 2 years through the industry.  She is a hair stylist and has done the hair for various of my shoots as well as my own wedding. I met Kevin at their engagement session and he was the obvious missing piece to the puzzle.  However,  not until I saw them surrounded by their friends and family, did it become perfectly apparent that they are they are the heart in the center of so much love.  I mean… not many couples can put together a 20 person wedding party!

Amber and Kevin got married on November 22, 2015 at the Whispering Tree Ranch in Laveen, AZ in a gorgeous rustic vintage setting.  The day was  perfect 78 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.  The venue and all the touches were as simply perfect as the love between bride and groom.

The bridal suite was so secluded we got some beautiful sunlit shots of the bride getting dressed.  I love natural light!

Of course I had to include a shot of the bride wearing my bridal shower gift!

The bride and groom had their first look under a beautiful rustic arch at the venue.  The pure joy in their faces is all the reason to have a first look.  It also allows plenty of time to photograph a 20 person wedding party!

I will admit this is the largest wedding party I’ve ever photographed.  I think I pretty much rocked it though 😉

All of Kevin’s groomsmen have been friend’s of his since childhood.  

Loved Amber’s selection of mismatched dresses for bridesmaids.

The warm autumn sunlight poured over the farm fields just outside the venue.  I never wanted to stop photographing.

Thank you Amber + Kevin for allowing me the privilege of preserving the memories for your beautiful day.
