A May the Fourth Be With You Wedding at Colby Falls | Colleen & Ben Photography by Wedding Photographer, Jennifer Lind Schutsky
Colleen and Ben’s wedding at Colby Falls in Gilbert, Arizona was the perfect blend of romance, personality, and subtle Star Wars magic. Celebrated on May 4th—the iconic “May the Fourth Be With You” day—their wedding embraced a timeless red-and-black color palette, elegant red bridesmaid dresses, and thoughtful nods to their theme without overwhelming the natural beauty of their outdoor ceremony space.
As an experienced wedding photographer in Phoenix and aboad, I love when couples infuse their day with personality, and Colleen and Van did exactly that. Their ceremony at Colby Falls was intimate and heartfelt, surrounded by the lush greenery and serene architecture the venue is known for. After the “I do’s,” we slipped away to the venue’s beautiful waterfall feature for romantic portraits—an iconic spot for Colby Falls couples.
To capture even more magic, we drove just a few minutes to the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch for golden-hour portraits. The soft May sunset, natural desert textures, and quiet walking paths made it the perfect location for dreamy, editorial-inspired bride and groom photos.
Their celebration was a reminder that weddings don’t need to be extravagant in size to be rich in story. What matters most is creating a day that feels true to you—and having a photographer who can bring that story to life with artistry, intention, and technical skill.
I pride myself on being a creative wedding photographer in Arizona, and I specialize in capturing heartfelt, cinematic images for couples who want their personalities, details, and emotion-driven moments documented beautifully. Whether you're planning a themed wedding, an intimate ceremony, or a luxury event, your photos should reflect the heart of your day.
