“Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.”

– Mother Teresa

Phoenix has long been known as a great option for a destination wedding. There all kinds of beautiful gems to hold a large or intimate reception. I was so excited when Kelsie of Pinkerton Photography reached out to create an inspirational Phoenix backyard wedding shoot at this gorgeous, rustic property nestled in the heart of the city. In seeking inspiration, I was drawn to using the Mexican heritage that goes back to well before Phoenix was a booming metro. Vibrant colors, textures and patterns as well as the delicious Mexican wedding cookies, churros, and “tile” cookies were pulled together to create unique “fiesta” style.
