Ashley and Nick’s wedding day at Orange Tree Golf Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona was equal parts elegant, personal, and joy-filled—an unforgettable celebration that perfectly reflected who they are as a couple.
The day began with Ashley and Nick getting ready alongside their bridesmaids and groomsmen, surrounded by laughter and anticipation. Even though their beloved pets couldn’t be there in person, Gary the dog and Cheeto the cat were thoughtfully (and humorously) included throughout the day. From Nick’s custom cufflinks to oversized cutout’s, and even cocktail napkins declaring they “couldn’t believe they weren’t invited” their furry companions were very much part of the celebration.
As guests arrived for the ceremony, the atmosphere was instantly elevated by live violin music from Shauna Hormiere. The sound of her violin set the tone as she played a beautiful rendition of “Send Me On My Way” by Rusted Root. As the melody filled the air, Ashley walked down the aisle toward Nick, who stood waiting beneath a stunning white domed pergola. It was a heartfelt, emotional moment that felt both intimate and timeless.
Following the ceremony, we explored the lush grounds of Orange Tree Golf Resort for portraits. Ashley and Nick looked absolutely radiant as we wandered the course, capturing romantic moments with towering palms, manicured greens, and one particularly magical spot where a fountain sprayed gloriously behind them—creating some truly show-stopping images.
The newlyweds entered their reception ready to celebrate, and the energy never dipped for the rest of the night. The photo booth was a nonstop hit, drawing in both the couple and their guests for countless laughs and memorable snapshots. Later in the evening, Ashley and Nick snuck away for some quiet moments—and a few bites of cake—for late-night photos. In true Nick fashion, he even had to swoop in and save Ashley from an unexpected run-in with the sprinklers.
As the night came to a close, guests lined up with sparklers in hand, sending Ashley and Nick off in a glowing, joyful exit that perfectly capped off the day.
Ashley and Nick’s wedding was a beautiful reminder that the most meaningful celebrations are the ones filled with personal details, genuine connection, and plenty of fun. We are so honored to have documented their day at Orange Tree Golf Resort and cannot wait to see what the future holds for these two.
