Clare and Nick’s Paradise Valley Country Club wedding in Arizona wasn’t about perfection—it was about capturing the essence of everything they’ve been through together. When Clare first inquired with me, she wrote “We want this to be a happy day as much as possible.” And that’s exactly what they got!

Clare was born & raised in Arizona, and Nick in Minnesota. But together, their love has been tested by distance, loss, and the challenges life throws, but it’s also been strengthened by laughter and resilience. And their big day was a reflection of that—classic simplicity infused with raw, real emotion. Every detail, from the Celtic bagpipers to the playful energy of their nephew walking Clare down the aisle, was filled with meaning.

As a Phoenix wedding photographer, I don’t chase the perfect shot or force emotion into stiff poses. When I asked her what made her want to inquire with me, she said, “The classic simplicity… I don’t love trendy over-edited photos, your photos seem very organic and made from real moments.”

This wasn’t just about creating memories but about preserving the feeling of a day filled with love, resilience, and pure joy—something that years later, will transport them back to this very moment every time they look at their photos. And every moment throughout their wedding day at the Paradise Valley Country Club was celebrated to the fullest!

I hope you look through their Paradise Valley Country Club wedding photos and leave with the biggest smile on your face, because let me tell you – a smile was GLUED to my face the entire time I was editing their gallery.
