Private Estate Elopement by Scottsdale Wedding Photographers Ryan & Denise

When you encounter your soul mate, you know it instantly, even if it doesn’t seem like the right time or place to fall in love. For Genevieve and Mike, that place was Columbus, Ohio. Job opportunities brought them both there to pursue their passion for music and performing arts. As it turned out, their careers would end up taking a different path, but it was clear from the moment that they met that there was an even more important plan in place. Their connection was undeniable and from the very start, there was no doubt in either one of their minds that they would end up standing hand in hand, promising their lives to each other. It was just a matter of finding the perfect time and place. With only their parents, siblings and best friends as witnesses, these two love birds became husband and wife overlooking the gorgeous desert views at a private estate in New River, AZ. It was intimate, emotional and lovely in every way.

We feel truly blessed to have met these two and their families and have no doubt that their thoughtful and sweet way with each other will serve them well in their marriage and through the many years ahead. Here are some of our favorites from our time with them:
