MARIA & NIC

ASSYRIAN WEDDING CEREMONY - Villa Siena, Gilbert,Az 
HEAVY METAL - INTENTIONAL - INTIMATE

Maria and Nic were the kind of couple who made every room louder and warmer just by being in it. 

tHE TWO BEGAN THEIR DAY ACROSS TOWN, DROWNING IN LOVE, ANTICIPATION, AND EXCITEMENT. 

tHEIR STORY IS THAT OF COMBINING CULTURES, A LOVE FOR MOTORCYCLES, LOUD MUSIC, AND LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST ONE CAN. 

SURROUNDED BY FAMILY & FRIENDS, they had everyone on the dance floor, CREATED NEW WEDDING TRADITIONS, AND SOMEHOW MANAGED TO GRAB A FEW INTIMATE MOMENTS TOGETHER THROUGHOUT THEIR DAY. 

 This is what a full day looks like.

Something sacred happened here first.

Rachel was an absolute blessing to have beside me throughout the wedding planning process and day of! She was my right hand lady through it all. Not only are our pictures exactly what we were hoping for and more, Rachel helped me get my thoughts together when I was stressing out, family throwing all their comments and questions, etc. Rachel helped me find my center in these planning moments and helped keep us and our families on schedule during the day of. This amazing woman hiked a mountain with us for engagement pictures! She is the one vendor and aspect of the wedding I did not have to worry about and the best decision we made. Her creativity, listening to our needs and vision, her friendly and bubbly personality, professionalism, just everything. You will be making the right choice choosing Rachel!
