Gabe and Allison met when they were taking classes at Mesa Community College. Both were art majors and shared many of the same core classes. Gabe caught her eye right away, but he wasn’t quite so quick to be distracted from his studies ;-) After having a few conversations in 2D design, Allison made it a point to sit right in front of him in Color Theory and Life Drawing the next semester. Then there would be no way he wouldn’t notice her. It didn’t take long for the two to become inseparable! A few years later, Gabe was nervously asking for her hand in marriage in front of BOTH their families at Thanksgiving dinner! These two are such a perfect match! They made each other laugh all day and we’re so laid back and happy just being together. It was truly a joy to capture their special day.

Their ceremony took place at St. Anne’s Catholic Church. Loved the flecks of gold and the details on her beautiful gown.

Just loved Allison’s sweet smile as she got into her dress!

Time to make it official!

Tears of joy!

LOVE this sweet shot of Gabe’s dad grinning from ear to ear as his soon-to-be daughter in law walked past.

Mr. & Mrs!

Next stop – the lovely Bella Rose Estate for some photos and reception fun!

Succulents!!! Always a perfect touch to a floral bouquet.

Gabe is such a character! He kept throwing silly faces our way all day!

When the sun was about to set, we joined the happy couple outside for some portraits.

I think this sweet shot is my favorite :-) So sweet!

We braved some desert terrain and made our way out to an empty field in back of the property for some sunset shots.

LOVE!

Then it was time to party!
