What it looks like when you have an eyewitness to your wedding day // creative photojournalism meets wedding photography.

Arvind and Danielle got ready for their wedding day together at the…

Cambria Hotel Downtown Phoenix Convention Center

I loved watching them enjoy the morning, and even do some first dance practice while capturing images of the dress and details for their wedding day.

The actual wedding took place at the…

Ocotillo Restaurant

3243 North 3rd Street, Phoenix, AZ, 85012, United States

And as you can see below it was a gorgeous ceremony with so many loved ones coming together to celebrate. The couple honored Danielle’s Grandmother with a memory altar and even surprised her grandfather with a portrait of grandma in the chair seated next to his. Those little moments on a wedding day are what I live for. Please romanticize all the memories of the loved ones near and far, earthly and departed because that’s actually what a ritual of marriage is all about honor for the sacred act of love.
