Julie and Greg’s happiness is infectious, wave after wave of happy people rolled towards us on their wedding day. One of the big things that we liked in doing this wedding was not just the couple who are just sublime, but it was the mix of the gritty, urban feel of the city of Chandler, Arizona mixed in with the tenderness of the couple themselves. The sheer sumptuousness of Julie’s white, strapless dress and velvet embroidered sash was the perfect accompaniment to the dark, gray suit Greg donned. Being lovers of urban life, we loved how the happy twosome wanted the city to play a part in their day as a giant prop itself, we adore the fact that the streets were their marital playground. Oh yeah, and cause we had a hard time editing down this little gem, Part II, the ceremony and reception will come later. Get ready, it’s time for you to get some shutter candy on!

How unbelievably sweet were these flower balls, hung so sweetly from the ceremony aisle seats.

Feast your eyes on the little “I DO” that Julie’s sweats bore.

Details, details, details….



Woozer, even Julie’s shoes proclaimed their intent!

How unbelievably awesome is this sash that Julie added to her dress? It was beyond sweet…..and added just the right sass!



Bubbly went round

Lingerie for the bouquets….black lace, ooh la la….



Who says a bride has to only receive one ring, bull dinky! Julie had THREE!





The reveal just made us swoon with excitement…..



Julie could hardly contain herself!










Doesn’t the floor, filled with such romantic prose, at the delicious Inspirador, where the wedding was held, just make you go, awwwww?


Julie and Greg had so many uber fantastic ideas of where to shoot, we couldn’t contain ourselves. First up, City Hall!






















Second, the wrong side of the tracks! Are these shots below not a visual treat? This couple was game for anything, greasy tracks, no problemo. I adore couples shot by train tracks, not sure why, but something about them metaphorically reminds me of them starting on the journey of a new life.















Because our happy couple’s hearts were burning up our lens’, what should be our next location, why the fire house natch…..

















Here is the fabulous wedding party! Woop woop…..
















Enough fist pumps to go round for this fantabulous couple!





Then Julie informed us that she purchased her wedding dress across the street at Uptown Bridal & Boutique…..a candy confection of deliciousness…..



It was like a hot pink, cotton candy collection of chiffon, lace, ruffles, all wrapped up in a bow! It provided the most scrumptious background for our happy couple to take a few pics in!





So now you have partaken in your main course, tomorrow you shall eat cake! Stay tuned…
