Hazel & Elias

Hazel & Elias got married Saturday at Seville Golf & Country Club. It was an unusually warm February day and the wedding was beautiful. Around 230 of Hazel and Elias's family and friends surrounded them to celebrate--including their two Yorkshire Terriers: Zazz and Mimi. They were a big part of the wedding. So I apologize ahead of time for showing more pictures of the dogs than the groom but I can't help it -- they stole the show and were SO cute.

Anyhow, the day started out with hair and make-up at Changes Salon in Scottsdale:


Hazel was peaceful and glowing:



Then we progressed to Seville for the final steps of preparation. Getting in the dress is always a challenging task. I love this shot of Hazel's mom helping her put on her gown:

Hazel was an amazingly gorgeous and photogenic bride. I couldn't pick between all of these shots of her. If you want, comment below and let me know which one you prefer. Number 1:

The ceremony setting was beautiful with the mountains in the background. But I was nearly blinded by the sun reflecting off of all the white chairs:


Zazz was dressed in a doggie tux and bow tie:


Mimi was outfitted in a cute pink dress. Here she is chilling before her job of being wheeled down the isle in a wagon by one of the ring bearers:

I love this shot of Hazel shortly after walking down the isle:


This next shot has to be my favorite of the whole day.

The harsh sunlight is good for some things:

What a great wedding! Thanks Hazel & Elias for allowing me to be a part of it!
