Natalie + Reyce
Gilbert, AZ - October 22, 2021
An arizona backyard wedding
Surrounded by their closest friends and loved ones, Natalie and Reyce celebrated their love in their families backyard farm.
I have known Natalie for years and being chosen to capture their big day was an absolute honor. The day started at an adorable hotel suite where most of the gals did their own make up and hair while sipping on mimosas. Not everything went according to plan, but everything felt simple and effortless. Walking onto the farm, everything was set up to perfection. At the start of the ceremony, you could instantly feel how much these two were loved. Just as Natalie was about to walk down the isle, the music malfunctioned. It felt as though time stood still as their best friends jumped into action and started playing Harvest Moon by Neil Young on guitar. Everyone was in tears, including me. That moment set the scene for the entirety of the night. After dinner & first dances, Reyce and the groomsmen started a bonfire right on the grass while the ladies took over the dance floor. The night was full of love and belly laughs and ended with their closest friends playing guitar and singing around the fire.
Natalie & Reyce wanted to keep all people in attendance, including vendors, “no strangers.” Meaning, most of the vendors are friends of the couple, which made it so intimate and fun! Heres a list of the amazing people that made their dream day a reality:
Super 8mm videographer: Mike Dewey
Day-Of Coordinator from Cloth and Flame : Kayla Pierotti
Temporary venue & Culinary experience: Cloth & Flame
Florals: Flower and vine floral
& me as the digital and film photographer. :)
