On a beautiful fall Saturday in October last year, Stephanie and Bryant married under a great big tree at the Alegria garden of the historic Royal Palms Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. Their wedding was filled with elegant details presented in bright purple and silver hues.  A fun story on how they met...they loved camping and their worlds collided when Bryant's friends stole Stephanie's campsites. They started hanging out and the rest is history.  These two lovebirds could not have chosen a more romantic setting of the Royal Palms with its old Hollywood setting and the lush beautiful gardens.  It's truly an oasis in the desert. We just love shooting weddings, engagements and other events at this gorgeous venue.

Her dad made Stephanie cry as he retold the story of how he would put young Stephanie to bed at night with stories of princesses.  He closed with "You will always be Daddy's little girl." Brought tears to  our beautiful bride's eyes, and mine too!  LRI-032NusserSB-10152016
One of the best cake smashes we've seen and sweetly done, you can tell Stephanie can bring it on.  Looks like Bryant found his match indeed. :) LRI-033NusserSB-10152016 Bouquet and Garter Toss
An array of after snacks was served to replenish the guests' energies from all the partying and dancing. I truly think this is such a thoughtful part on the bride and groom's families.  LRI-035NusserSB-10152016 LRI-036NusserSB-10152016 Gorgeous wedding photos Royal Palms Resort #werethenussers
