I had the absolute pleasure of second shooting this beautiful wedding alongside Tony George Photography, and what an incredible day it was! Lauren and Jacob’s celebration at Venue at the Grove was nothing short of magical. From the stunning outdoor ceremony to the golden light filtering through the pecan trees, it felt like something out of a movie.


Lauren and Jacob were such a joy to be around. Their energy was calm and joyful, and the love between them was so easy to capture. Watching the way they looked at each other, and how present they were in every moment, made documenting their day feel truly special.


Venue at the Grove is an absolute dream. Nestled in the heart of Phoenix, the venue offers this peaceful, tucked-away feel with lush greenery and an intimate ambiance that’s hard to beat in the desert. The towering trees provided a natural canopy, and the golden-hour light made every frame feel warm and romantic.


So grateful to have been a part of this one. Here’s a look at some of my favorite moments from the day.
