Kirie and Robert’s wedding at The Meadow at Schnepf Farms in Queen Creek, AZ, was a day overflowing with love and intentionality. As an Arizona wedding photographer, it’s always a true honor to capture celebrations like theirs. Weddings rooted in values create memories that last a lifetime.
From the very beginning, their day was all about family. Kirie and Robert chose only siblings and their spouses to stand by their side. This heartfelt decision added a close-knit, loving energy to their day. Not only that, it made the celebration feel deeply personal and meaningful from start to finish.
Of course, the family involvement didn’t stop there… Kirie’s mother poured her heart into this wedding. In particular, she hand-stitched dresses for the family dog and the flower girl. In addition, she baked and designed all the desserts, including the wedding cake! These handmade touches reflected the family’s love and support in a beautiful, unforgettable way.
Of course, no family celebration would be complete without including every member. During the getting ready photos, Kirie’s family dog made a special appearance! This playful moment added warmth and personality to their wedding album.
Beyond the personal touches, the ceremony was full of heartfelt moments. Kirie’s brother officiated, which brought a deeply personal touch. Then, instead of a first look, the couple exchanged handwritten letters before walking down the aisle. During the ceremony, they spoke their vows in unison. Talk about a powerful symbol of unity! They also included a Celtic hand-fasting ritual, tying their hands as a sign of commitment and tradition.
Beyond family, the couple’s community helped shape their day. Specifically, their DJ, a family friend from their church, helped create a welcoming and familiar atmosphere at the reception. Beyond that, every element of the day reflected the strong bonds they share with their loved ones. Ultimately, their wedding became more than just an event. Because of all of these details, it was a true reflection of their faith, friendship, and community.
Kirie and Robert’s wedding shows just how meaningful intentional choices can be. Furthermore, by focusing on family, tradition, and personal touches, they created a day that felt truly authentic. Their celebration was a perfect reflection of their love story.
As an Arizona Wedding Photographer, I believe every couple deserves images that reflect their unique love story. Whether you value family-first celebrations or meaningful details, intentional choices will shape your day. They create the moments you’ll cherish forever.
If you’re planning a wedding in Arizona, choosing the right photographer is key. Ultimately, you need someone who understands your vision and can capture the heart behind every moment. From the stunning Arizona landscapes to the intimate touches of your wedding day, I’d be honored to document your story.
