Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden Wedding

Imagine this:

It’s a beautiful, sunny Saturday. The Coronavirus hasn’t completely destroyed any and all wedding plans. The birds are singing. It’s safe to go on walks in public. You can shake other people’s hands without needing to sanitize your hands instantly afterward.

And Kara and Brendan are getting married!

The two held their sweet destination wedding in Phoenix, Arizona, traveling all the way from the east coast to celebrate their love in the southwest. They gathered family and friends from literally all over the world to spend a day relaxing and partying and not thinking about COVID-19. As a Las Vegas wedding photographer, it’s always incredibly fun to travel to new and exciting locations, even if they are only an hour plane ride from home.
