Four Seasons Scottsdale Destination Wedding Filled With Color
Weddings are almost always a "destination" weekend for at least a few of the guests! This Scottsdale, Arizona wedding brought friends and family from all over to celebrate Tori and Geoff's weddings ... a celebration brimming with splashes of southwestern flavor and filled with an abundance of colorful details at the Four Seasons Resort in Scottsdale. It's tagged as a winter wedding - after all, it did take place in February - but at first glance, there's no way this appears in the least bit chilly. Chalk that up to the friendly, warmth seen from beginning to end. Our thanks to Rachel Solomon Photography for sharing the love!
From Rachel Solomon Photography... Tori & Geoff, residing in the Dallas area, had a stunning southwest-inspired destination wedding in the heart of Scottsdale, Arizona. Filled with desert details, cactus, succulents, and plenty of color, this laid-back couple's wedding was flawlessly executed by Emily Clarke Events.
From the Bride... Most importantly, we wanted our wedding to be FUN! We are so incredibly laid back, and we have a lot of fun together, and we wanted our wedding to be a reflection of our relationship with each other. We didn't want anything super fancy and formal because we aren't that way. We like to have a good time, we're silly, and we wanted everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves to the fullest.
And if you're not already in love with this wedding, you will be ~ after you watch this short film from Marc Roberts Videography. Tori's father's words to his baby girl .... well, let's just say, it's why every couple needs photos and a film to remember their wedding day!
From the Bride... The thing I love the most about Geoff is his heart. He has the sweetest, most thoughtful and compassionate heart of anyone I know. I'm a big believer in the Five Love Languages as well, and I feel mostly loved by acts of service. Since the beginning of our relationship, Geoff has constantly cared for my family, friends, our dogs and me. He has a servant's heart, and when I saw him caring for the people I cared about the most, I knew he was the one. One of my favorite memories when we first started dating was our first official road trip. We went to beach, and on our way home, we stopped at one of those drive thru animal safaris. I don't know if I had ever laughed so hard in my life. Geoff and I were terrified of the ostriches, and we swear they targeted our car. They are so creepy! Going on a road trip with Geoff helped me visualize how a future with him would be, and I loved and laughed every minute of our trip. I couldn't imagine being with anyone else.From the Groom... We decided early on in 2016 that we really wanted to visit the island of Nantucket. We have always like the culture, food, and scenery there. We flew up to Boston in early August and went to a Red Sox-Yankees baseball game that night and drove to Chatham, MA the next day. From there, we chartered an "island hopper" plane to Nantucket (since all the ferries were booked). We walked to the most famous location on the island, Brant Point, where I had a local photographer waiting to take some candid pictures of us. Despite the travel delays and hot weather, she still said yes!
