[ vintage romance ]

DIY and vintage details, a bride and groom and family members that worked tirelessly for months to put together a special day, thoughtful touches, a super fun and beautiful bridal party, an incredibly gorgeous setting . . .  these are just some of the things that made for a stunning wedding day on September 29th 2012 at the picturesque            Saguaro Lake Ranch Resort in Mesa, Arizona. 

And that’s before we even get to the bride and groom. . . their wedding day was full of vintage romance, but it’s the love this couple shares that also recalls a vintage quality and that was truly celebrated on their special day. Bb and Derek share a love we don’t always get to see — one that has the fun, playful and romantic qualities of young, new love mixed with the depth, insight and strength of a love that has lasted and that will last forever. 

Their handwritten vows to one another made the ceremony extra special and I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a dry eye at the ranch!                                                                                          It can be a challenge to photograph with tears in your eyes . . .
