Ashley & Nick’s Wedding at Orange Tree Golf Resort | Scottsdale, Arizona

, , ,

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.

Sumner + Nick | A Dream Wedding at The Tapestry House by Wedgewood Weddings

, , ,

Some weddings stick with you forever — and Sumner (or “Sunny,” as her friends call her) and Nick’s wedding day at The Tapestry House by Wedgewood Weddings in Colorado is one we won’t soon forget. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this day was going to be special — full of personality, creativity, and so much love.

The morning started with the girls getting ready in the most charming little house right next to the venue, where the air was buzzing with excitement, happy tears, and plenty of laughter. Meanwhile, the guys were living it up in what might be the coolest “bachelor pad” AirBNB ever — complete with a bar in the downstairs portion. It was the perfect space for the guys to hang out, share a drink, and relax before the festivities kicked off.

Sunny’s attention to detail blew us away. She brought all sorts of incredible thrifted décor to make the day uniquely hers — a bold red loveseat, a vintage wicker chair, and even enough mugs to fill a mug wall for guests to take home as gifts. Every corner of the venue felt personal and intentional, telling the story of who Sunny and Nick are as a couple.

Their first look took place in the heart of The Tapestry House’s garden, where they stood under the towering trees and read their vows to each other privately. It was one of the most emotional and intimate moments of the entire day, and we were honored to capture it.

The outdoor ceremony was simply beautiful. Friends and family surrounded them as they said “I do,” with the historic Tapestry House behind them and the Colorado sky overhead.

As the sun set, everyone moved into the reception space for an evening of celebration. There was dancing, laughter, and plenty of heartfelt toasts. One moment that brought us to tears was when Sunny and Nick took time during their own toast to personally thank us. It’s moments like that that remind us why we do what we do — to capture memories that mean the world to our couples.

The staff at The Tapestry House deserve a round of applause. Their professionalism and care made the day flow effortlessly, allowing everyone — including Sunny and Nick — to simply enjoy the celebration.

Sunny and Nick, your wedding day was pure magic, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have been there to document it all. The love you two share is inspiring, and we know your story is just getting started.
