McCormick Ranch Golf Club Weddings

McCormick Ranch Golf Club is a stunning place to hold a wedding. With the beautiful views of the desert and mountains in the back of your ceremony, you truly can’t go wrong. I have shot many weddings at McCormick Ranch, and I truly love going back everytime. Their staff is incredible, especially Melissa who I adore. The food is exceptional. I photographed a wedding at McCormick Ranch with Audrey Wood Events and I have never seen such a beautiful transformation done to the venue. With hanging floral installations in their newly remodeled reception space, it was the most stunning design. So don’t just take my word, take a look at the photos I have shot there, as well as take a tour yourself. I know you won’t regret it. Now, onto our next venue, Camelback Inn.

Camelback Inn Resorts Weddings

Camelback Inn Resort weddings are some of my favorite. Not only have I photographed multiple weddings here, I have also helped other vendors on their own weddings at Camelback Inn. The staff is always so kind to work with and always so helpful. The flow of the ceremony, to cocktail hour and into the reception space is such an easy transition and flows naturally. The ceremony space has the most stunning sunlight that every Arizona wedding photographer would love. The reception space is massive and can be designed in so many beautiful ways. I truly don’t think I have seen a bad design come out of this space. My favorite was the one I did with Gatherings by Elle a few years ago for one of my Chicago couples who were having a destination wedding here in Arizona. Now, onto Tubac Golf Resort weddings!

Tubac Golf Resort Weddings

Tubac Golf Resort will forever be one of the most hidden gems in Arizona. Close to Tucson, this Arizona wedding venue is truly magical. You step into a mix of hacienda meets Italian beauty in my opinion. With beautiful trees and grass, and the sweetest cattle that are in the back paster behind your cocktail hour. The food here is to die for. The views EVEN BETTER! The lighting here is one of my absolute favorites. Not to mention, it holds a special place in my heart as a Scottsdale Wedding Photographer because this is where I shot my Arizona Bride Magazine Cover. It truly can’t be beat, especially if you are wanting to get away from the traditional Arizona desert vibe and have more greenery. This is your venue!

Wrigley Mansion Weddings

Everytime I come to Wrigley Mansion whether it to be to shoot an engagement session or to photograph a stunning hillside wedding, I always find something new. From the countless locations inside and outside of the venue, to the stunning downtown Phoenix view you get if you look over the hillsides. As an Arizona wedding photographer, this is probably one of my all time favorite venues because it has such history and character to the building. I am shooting another wedding here this fall for Taylor and Ryan and I am so excited to see their design come to life with BTO Events.

Royal Palms Resort Weddings

If I had to choose an absolute FAVORITE Scottsdale wedding venue, Royal Palms would be it. From the beautiful Spanish architecture, to not one but THREE beautiful locations for your wedding ceremony. The lighting around Royal Palms is every wedding photographers dream. The stunning landscaping creates a magical feel that no one wants to leave. The infinity pool where cocktail hour is held, to the orange grove where receptions can be held under the moonlight. Every turn you make here at Royal Palms is truly breathtaking.

Sanctuary at Camelback Weddings

The views. That’s truly all I need to say for the Sanctuary at Camelback weddings. The views are to die for. From your ceremony view and the cocktail hour overlook that sees the backside of Camelback Mountain, to the top where couples take their sunset portraits. Every corner of this property in Scottsdale makes me awestruck. As a Scottsdale wedding photographer, I have photographed weddings here multiple times and they keep me wanting to come back for more. From the hospitality of the staff, to the delectable food. Nothing beats the Sanctuary at Camelback Mountain. Now, onto another favorite Scottsdale wedding venue, El Chorro.

El Chorro Weddings

El Chorro is one of the top luxury wedding venues in Scottsdale. Countless celebrities have had their destination weddings here for the magnificant views that it gives. With the stunning mountain views, the amazing hospitality, and the BEST food there is no other place to have your wedding than El Chorro. I truly love coming here every chance I get. As a Scottsdale wedding photographer, the lighting, the views, and the countless locations for photos gives me such inspiration each time I come. I would come time and again if I could! Now, onto our final venue, Troon North.

Troon North Weddings

I have had so many weddings at Troon North Golf Club recently, that I feel like I should make it my home! From colorful Troon North weddings to simple black and white weddings, I have seen it all here. As an Arizona wedding photographer, I love the desert landscape and Troon North has just that. So many stunning golf courses with beautiful views. The ceremony backdrop has countless Arizona native plants and cacti. The views you get on the overlook for cocktail hour is one of the best. They are currently in the middle of building more suites and I can’t wait to see them!
