Amongst the Arizona Pines
From Monique Hessler Weddings: Sharing vows in the middle of Arizona pines, an off the grid feeling, escaping the busy daily life to pause and celebrate Courtney and Nate’s love story. Complimenting the earth tones with authentic wood details, lush greenery, candlelight and textured pastels covered their wedding with intimate elegance. The dark, quiet Arizona forest was lit up by gorgeous bistro lights, loud roars of laughter and dancing under the stars. It was the most breathtaking experience.
all the feels
From the bride: The day was so surreal and still feels like it didn’t actually happen to me. We got married in Flagstaff, Arizona and the weather could not have been more perfect. I remember getting ready in the morning and just watching everything happen around me but not actually feeling present. It was so strange! It felt like hours went by getting ready. But then, photographers and videographers showed up… I put my dress on and it became so real to me in that moment.
it goes by fast
The reception felt like it was literally 20 minutes long in total. A few days later I was talking to my parents about it and they said we actually stayed an hour and a half longer dancing because our venue people just couldn’t bear to break the party up. We were all dancing and having way too much fun. And that made my heart so happy. The day feels like a blur looking back but I’m so happy & blessed knowing all of my friends & family had a blast!
