Courtney and Brandon's Beautiful Wedding at Gather Estate

Meet our wonderful bride Courtney and her husband (yay!) Brandon! Their wedding day was absolutely beautiful! Speaking of beautiful, look at how amazing Courtney looks in her wedding gown from Bella Lily Bridal. With that gown combined with her stunning hair and makeup by Makeup by Velvet, she made for a beautiful bride.

After Courtney spent the morning getting ready, she got to share some special moments with the groomsmen and her dad during first looks. We loved how close Courtney was with the groomsmen and their reaction to seeing her was so much fun! Her first look with her dad was so sweet and emotional, haha it even had us tearing up.

Then came the ceremony! This location at Gather Estate is such a beautiful spot and the perfect place for these two to get married. Our favorite ceremony moment was seeing the excitement on Brandon’s face when he saw Courtney walking down the aisle for the first time. That big smile says everything.

After the ceremony, the couple snuck away for some photos with Hannah Lorsh Photography and to sign their marriage license. These two had a smile on their face all day and it’s not hard to see just how excited they are to spend the rest of their lives together.

Then came the party! Their reception was an absolute blast! Them and all of their guests had such an amazing and fun filled night. We loved seeing the joy on everyone’s faces as they got to celebrate with the happy couple.

They finished the day with a beautiful sparkler exit before they drove away in the cutest vintage getaway car. Thank you so much to Courtney and Brandon for letting us celebrate with you. This day was so special and we absolutley loved it.

Brittany and Jacob had such a beautiful day. The morning atmosphere was so exciting as the couple got ready. Brittany and her bridesmaids enjoyed getting their makeup done by MA Artistry and they loved their hair stylist Bella Bridal Beauty. They all looked absolutely stunning! While the girls were busy getting ready, the gentlemen were having a blast hanging out and even taking a celebratory shot.

Then Brittany and Jacob met outside for such an intimate first look. You can just see how much love they have when they look at each other. Also, can we just note how beautiful this spot is at their venue Wedgewood Secret Garden. This was the perfect spot to share such a special moment.

After our bride and groom were able to spend some one-on-one time together, they got the whole bridal party together for some photos with The Shephards Photo and some video shots with Riley Hicks Video. We loved how big this bridal party was!

Tori and Matt were such a joy to work with! They both have such fun personalities and that was evident in every detail of their special day. Before the ceremony, the couple had such a fun time getting ready with their friends. Such a fun bridal party!

Tori got to share a special first look with her bridesmaids and her dad before she saw Matt. Look at the huge smile on her dad’s face! Such a precious moment! Matt couldn’t help but grin when he turned around and saw Tori in her beautiful dress. It was so sweet as they both exchanged special notes that they had written for each other.

We absolutely loved palnning this wedding day with Kristina and Jared! This couple has such a fun and unique style and we are so here for it! The location, The Icehouse AZ , was the perfect fit and it was so cool to see all the vendors work together to turn this into their dream day.

The morning was full of excitement as the couple spent time with their loved ones getting ready for the big ceremony! Kristina got to put on her dress from Luv Bridal and she looked absolutely stunning! We know Jared loved it too!

You can probably imagine the excitement amongst all the guests when the ceremony finally started. Kristina’s dad walked her down the aisle and it was such a special moment for both of them. Jared patiently waited at the end of the aisle so happy to see his beautiful bride. The ceremony was so sweet and ended with the happy couple walking down the aisle as man and wife for the first time! Look at how lovingly Jared is looking at his bride!

After the ceremony, the couple took photos outside with their photographer Annette Ambrose. The ultimate power couple! They look amazing in these photos! We loved the color of Kristina’s bouquet from Array Design AZ.

Last came the reception! What a fun group this was! And look at that decor from Cloth and Flame and Dang Fine Rentals. They did such an amazing job when setting up the reception area.

This wedding located at The Farm at South Mountain was absolutely stunning! We felt so lucky to celebrate here with Kristyn and John. With the beautiful combination of the amazing scenery at this venue and the florals provided by WYLD Bloom, this wedding was hard to beat!

The bride and groom started their day apart while they got ready with their closest friends and family members. Krystin got ready with her beautiful bridesmaids, getting their hair and makup done by Makeup With Tatum and Wander Salon. And look at her stunning gown she got from Made With Love Bridal!

Kristyn got to share a special moment doing a first look with her bridesmaids and a very sweet and emotional first look with her dad. Then it was time for John to get his first look! The couple met in a beautiful spot and had a sweet moment exchanging written words to eachother. They then got to have some fun with their bridal party as they took photos with Kailey Beth Photo. We loved the color of the dresses the bridesmaids got from Show Me Your Mumu and those blue tuxes from Indochino are so handsome!

Then, finally, Kristyn’s parents got to walk her down the aisle to her soon to be hubby! It was such a sweet moment when her dad handed her off to John. They had such a beautiful ceremony surrounded by their loved ones. It had us emotional! And there exit was so much fun! John just couldn’t resist pulling in his bride for a few more kisses.

After the ceremony, our bride and groom snuck away to get some pictures of just the two of them. Don’t they just look so in love! We absolutely love the photos from this gallery. They capture Kristyn and John’s wedding day so beautifully.

Our photographer also got to sneak some pictures of the reception area before the party. Look at this amazing cake by AZ Cake Shoppe and the beautiful rentals were by Material Girls Wedding. The reception area looked absolutely amazing and perfectly encompassed what the couple wanted for their big day.

Finally came the reception! It was a blast, especially with Ray the DJ. It was so fun to have everyone in the same place celebrating this amazing couple together. They had the biggest smiles on their faces the entire night and everyone had so much fun on the dance floor.

Kristen and Nathan's Wedding in the Rain

Most people think that rain on your wedding day is bad luck, but here at riding tandem we believe it’s the opposite! Kristen and Nathan had such a beautiful wedding day rain and all! We loved being apart of this fun couples day!

The morning started at the venue, Weddings of Gold Canyon, where Kristen and Nathan spent the morning getting ready with friends and family. The girls spent the day with Emerald Beauty AZ glamming up, while the boys played a fun game of golf.

After that, the couple went with their phtographer, Desert Delight Photo, to do their first look! Nathan was speechless when he saw how beautiful Kristen looked. They then got some fun photos with the bridesmaids and groomsmen and we loved, loved, loved that they incoprated their dog into the bridal party!

Then came time for Kristen’s dad to walk her down the aisle to Nathan. Such a sweet moment! They stood underneath this beautiful arch from Dang Fine Rentals surrounded by flowers from Wild Iris Weddings. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and it ended with their first kiss as man and wife in the rain!

After they were married they got to sneak away and take some portraits of them (and their dog of course) before celebrating at the reception. Isn’t Kristen’s dress from Schaffers Bridal AZ absolutely stunning!?

The reception was so much fun and had everyone off their feet and dancing with the happy couple! Everyone there had such a big smile on their face and we absolutely loved it! And there’s no better way to finish than with a rose petal send off!

Thank you to Kristen and Nathan for allowing us to join you on your big day! We had so much fun! Wishing you the very best!

The Riding Tandem team was so excited to be apart of such a beautiful day with Tori and Callum. This is why we do what we do, we get to be apart of incredibly special days like this one. This day started with an emotional first look with our bride and groom followed by a super fun shoot with the groomsmen and bridal party!

Following bridal party photos with Jake and Kylee, Tori and Callum were able to spend some time with each other before the ceremony during their bridal shoot. Isn’t Tori’s dress from For Love Bridal absolutely gorgeous?! It isn’t hard to see how much they adore each other. Such a special love these two have.

After bridal portraits came the ceremony and it was such a beautiful one! It was such a special moment when Tori’s dad walked her down the aisle to Callum. It’s even putting tears in our eyes! It was so special to see both families come together to celebrate such a special moment in this couples lives.

Then came the reception, which was an absolute blast! They started out the night with the first dance as a married couple followed by Tori’s dance with her father and Callum’s dance with his mother. Then a crazy night on the dance floor with The John Lock as their DJ!

Meghann and Joseph’s Wedding at Mountain Shadow

Ummm…can we just say we loved this wedding with Meghann and Joseph! We feel honored that this couple chose us to tag along on their special day. We loved watching this couples wedding dreams all unfold.

The bride and groom began their day getting ready amongst many of their friends and family members. Meghann had a beautifully arranged floral crown made by Forage Arizona that she wore with her stunning dress. Also, can we just point out what a good job Braids and Bobby Pins did on getting our beautiful bride ready?! It’s not hard to tell that the morning was filled with laughter and excitement as they awaited the ceremony.

Before heading indoors for the ceremony, Joseph waited outside to get a first look at his bride. We loved seeing the joy on his face when he got that first look at Meghann in her wedding dress. We also got to witness the sweetest moment as Meghann did a first look with her dad. So beautiful and emotional. The couple then spent some more time outside taking photos with the bridal party and their photographer Erik Kruthdof. We absolutely loved how much this couple incorporated their family into their special day.

Then came the ceremony! It was so amazing to see Meghann and Joseph display their love for each other in front of all of their friends and family. After that sweet sound of saying “I do”, Joseph was able to kiss Meghann for the first time as his wife. What a beautiful moment!

Following the ceremony was a fun reception outside! Family and friends got to visit with one another and celebrate the happy newly weds. The couple got to have their first dance as Mr. and Mrs. and Meghann had a special song picked out for her father-daughter dance. There was so much laughter and joy this night and we absolutely loved it! 

Thank you Meghann and Joseph for letting us tag along on your big day! We love you guys and wish you the very best as you go through life together.
