A Windmill Winery Wedding by Phoenix Wedding Photographers Ryan & Denise

One of the greatest things about a wedding is having a chance to bring together all of your closest family and friends all in one place to celebrate with you. When you’re as well traveled as Emily & Wissam, that meant that their guests were flying in from all over the world! This darling couple came all the way from Africa in the country of Sierra Leone to tie the knot at the Windmill Winery in Florence, AZ. Bringing with them, droves of wonderful family members and friends. What mattered most to them was having their day be a reflection of their background, cultures, beliefs and most importantly, the many people who have shaped their lives as a couple and as individuals.  These two weren’t afraid to depart from tradition to ensure every ounce of their day was uniquely them. Emily & Wissam are the epitome of  joy and we couldn’t help but love every moment of their special day – from the vibrant colors of the “lapa” (a special fabric choose to represent their day) weaved throughout the decor, to their amazing choreographed first dance, to the fun and festive smores and cigars at the bonfire – their day was so much fun!
