When you dream of your wedding day as a little girl, you think of the perfect dress, the man you’re marrying and honestly probably a castle. Mainly because we’re all dreaming of being a princess right? Well Emily and James’ fairytale garden inspired wedding at the stunning Secret Garden was what every little girl has pictured. From Emily’s long stunning braided hair, to her princess styled dress. Everything was what we read about in our books when we’re little.
I’ve adored these two since I’ve met them. I did not only one, but two engagement sessions with them. Both of which were also what dreams are made of. So it was no surprise that their big day was the best fairytale garden inspired wedding I have seen! From the beautiful white florals, to James’ AMAZING brown suit, everything was perfect. The Secret Garden is one of my favorite venues because it has the best lighting, there is SO many stunning spots to take portraits, and it’s a hidden green garden oasis in the middle of the desert. What more could an Arizona girl ask for?
Every detail for Emily and James’ Mesa, Arizona spring wedding was carefully thought out. The invitation suite, the ring dish with their initials, and their adorable vow books. Emily even had a small anklet she wore with James’ initial on it. Their tear-filled private vows were among one of my favorite things about their wedding day, along with James’ family priest speaking some of their ceremony in their native tongue. It truly put an emphasis even more on all the small details that made their day so special. I can’t wait to see what their first year of marriage brings them, and I am so excited for them to start this chapter of their lives together. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Isfan!
