Give us pretty details and we are happy wedding bloggers. Give us a story that goes along with said lovely deets? And you’ll probably find us (literally) jumping out of our seats with joy. Today’s desert fete is just that my friends—painstakingly pretty, thanks to Imoni Events and Carte Blanche Design (and allll of the vendors below). But it’ll also pull at your heart strings in other ways… such as the Groom’s careful and loving attention to detail (read the story below after you peruse Charity Maurer‘s stunning images!). Plus, all of it took place in the Groom’s father’s backyard… bet you didn’t see that one coming.
From Charity Maurer… It’s truly heartwarming when not the bride, but the groom first reaches out to you as a photographer. After proposing to the love of his life, Katie, groom Chasen knew that he wanted their day to capture the warmth and sincerity of his love for her. From the first moment of their elegant wedding day, every detail was set in place to celebrate their closeness and bond with one another.
Before Chasen first laid eyes on his glowing wife-to-be, he had her read a letter enclosed in card he had purchased for her. Little did she know that he had searched high and low for months to find a duplicate of the card he had sent her years ago, after their very first date. Talk about a man who loves details!
The two tied the knot in Chasen’s father’s backyard, surrounded by friends and family. They wanted to incorporate their love of lush plants and botanicals despite living in the arid southwest. With the help of the immensely talented floral designer, Randi Eshelman, they merged the natural beauty of the native landscape with the luxuriously abundant greenery they so desired, creating an incredible desert garden wedding.
This precious wedding was a work of art, from the close-knit relationship of the bride and groom, to the perfect execution of the garden-party décor; from the custom cocktails and signage to the fanciful Volkswagen bus photo booth. It was an honor to be present at the start of Katie and Chasen’s married life together.
