Stefani and Garret were married last Saturday at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort at Gainey Ranch in an intimate and touching ceremony followed by a romantic al fresco reception on the Terrace Court lawn. I had never met the couple in person before their wedding day because Stefani booked me over the internet after seeing my website, so I wasnt sure what to expect. She and Garret live in Missouri, and we talked on the phone and via email many times during the planning process, but it still isnt like the experience of meeting in person. But they surpassed all of my expectations and were just just awesome. Stefani's adorable daughter Sophia played a special role in the day of course and both of their families were very warm and wonderful.
Not to mention it was another truly perfect autumn Saturday in Arizona!
Here are some of my favorites...

I love this shot of Sophie getting ready. She looks very grown up, not 5!
I love, love these next two shots of Stefani

Love these of Sophie
Pretty details from the day, including the cake provided by the Hyatt.
As the ceremony started, Sophia got a little nervous to walk down the aisle by herself with all that attention on her, so her Grandma walked up to help her feel more comfortable. I love the little pout and pure determination of throwing the flowers down for her Mom's entrance.
Cute kiss moment
This one might be my favorite. I love the moment right after the couple is married because their expressions and emotions are 100% natural and its a fleeting moment that can never be duplicated with the same sense of honesty.
Who doesn't love some bling! 
Another tender moment between the couple right after their ceremony. 
Some bride and groom portrait time...
LOVE this one too... they were pretty far away from me and we couldnt talk so they were off doing their own thing and Garret started dancing Stefani around. I love how they are looking at each other. 
Some traditional portraits of the beautiful couple. 
The family sharing a dance together.
A very tender moment between Stefani and her dad.
I'll probably have a few more to post, but these were some of my favorites so far.
Thanks Stefani and Garret for sharing your beautiful day with me!
