Gather Estate Intimate Wedding | Mesa Wedding Photographer

Kylee, one of the lovely Material Girls Weddings owners, invited me out to a Gather Estate Intimate Wedding stylized session, and I was in complete awe!! From the outside, you can’t really tell what Gather Estate has to offer, but the second you walk through those gates, you’re in photographer heaven! From the vines going across the brick walls, to the rose garden, and even the orchard in the back, there are endless opportunities for gorgeous photos to occur! The Material Girls did an excellent job coordinating this stylized session, and worked with some amazing vendors! I’ll be sharing these with you shortly!

For the 2016 season, I’ve had the opportunity to shoot alongside some fabulous local photographers! They’ve helped me to set myself back on track with the way I photograph an event, and even help to make my editing process quicker! I love getting to work with all of these different people because they give me a new insight into our business every time. We truly do work in a beautiful industry!! The downside to being a secondary photographer is that you have to wait to share photos until after images have been delivered to the clients, and you don’t always get to capture those gorgeous details that you would like for a full wedding day! However, they allow me to keep my creative juices flowing, keep me on the wedding timeframe and speed, and keep my skills growing stronger and stronger!

Each wedding this season has allowed me to really see where I want my images to be heading. They’ve allowed me to see in which ways I want to be documenting everything, because in case you didn’t know, each photographer tells the same story in a totally different way! I think I’m finally getting where I want to be in all of this! I can’t wait to see where 2017 takes me!

Now back to this beautiful Gather Estate intimate wedding!! Sometimes I get a little sidetrack… 😀

Heather and Skylar were seriously stunning!! These two love birds were married at the Mormon church just a few short months ago, and were lucky enough to play “bride and groom” again this week! They are both such kind souls, and are absolutely adorable together!

Heather had her hair and makeup done by Glamorous Designs, and was wearing a gorgeous gown and jewelry by Brilliant Bridal. Kendra with BB was hands down the most amazing at helping us make this dress fit Heather throughout each new pose! Magro nailed it, like always, with the suit and design for Skylar! For more details about the rest of the fantastic vendors that were a part of this stylized session, I will have them all listed after the photos!

Enjoy!
