It all started when I asked Rachel and Nick to model for a photoshoot I had planned. We had a blast together, and they ended up using those pictures as their engagement photos. Then, they asked me to shoot their wedding. We just clicked. I was even more excited because they were having an Andaz Scottsdale wedding, and if you’re familiar at all with the Andaz resorts, they are beautiful.

The Resort: Andaz Scottsdale

If you’re thinking about a desert wedding with garden vibes, an Andaz Scottsdale wedding will be perfect for you. They’ve got three different lawn spaces, each with its unique views, and a ballroom that’s nearly 4,000 sqft, plus a big shaded terrace for cocktail hours. It’s IDEAL for a wedding weekend, with suites and bungalows for everyone. Invite your friends, family, and your whole damn neighborhood. Whether you’re into hiking and yoga, enjoying award-winning cuisine, or just lounging by the pool all day, this place has everything your heart desires.

Rachel + Nick’s Andaz Scottsdale Wedding Day

This day was HOTTT, but just as the ceremony kicked off, the sun hid behind the clouds, making it nice and sweet. And let me tell you, the Arizona sunset put on a show for us as soon as the reception began. The sky was painted with the most gorgeous colors. The whole vibe of the ceremony and reception was super clean and elegant, all in white. Then, after snapping some breathtaking sunset photos of the newlyweds, Rachel switched things up, rocking a cute baby pink old western-style dress with her cowgirl hat. And that’s when the real party kicked into high gear—everyone hit the dance floor, and the energy was electric!
