How do you truly sum up a bond that you have with a bride into one blog post? Maddie and Joe’s intimate Phoenix private estate wedding was one of my absolute favorite I’ve ever had the honor of photographing. The thought that went into each detail. The love that was surrounding them with their intimate wedding by less than 20 people who create their guest list. I could go on and on. The day was slow, calm, and peaceful. It was a beautiful October day in sunny Arizona, which was perfect for a intimate Phoenix private estate wedding. I don’t think anything could have rained on this beautiful day to make it any less magical.
Maddie was one of the truest, kindest souls I ever had the honor of coming across. From her absolute trust in me, to being one of the sweetest humans during one of the darkest moments in my life. I am truly so thankful for the bond that I had with her, and still do to this day. There are just some people in this lifetime who truly touch your soul in a way that others can’t. I’ve had this with a few of my brides, and Maddie was one of them. She put her full trust in me during her wedding day. It was intimate, and thats exactly how she wanted it. She didn’t want the huge eleborate wedding. She just wanted to marry her best friend, Joe. You can read more about their love story from their engagement blog, here.
The love these two share is indescribable. The nerves that were setting into Joe from the moment we placed him for their first look was the absolute sweetest. He was so excited to see his girl, his soon to be wife. A few tears came from his eyes as he saw the beauty that Maddie encompasses. A few more were shed during their sweet and short ceremony. The way he looks at Maddie says it all, and I hope that every woman gets to feel a love like that in their lifetime.
Like I started off the blog, there is no way for me to sum up a bond like I have with Maddie. I absolutely adore her to the core of my body and soul. She’s one of the most strong, independent and beautiful women I’ve ever met. To see this chapter of her life unfold into a fairytale most girls dream of is truly so special. I can’t wait to see where this next chapter goes as Joe and Maddie’s story continues on. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Pelosi!
