Noah’s Wedding Venue // Chandler, AZ Photographer // Andrew and Karla

Andrew and Karla are something else, let me tell you!
Just minutes into grabbing coffee with Karla, you could tell this girl is head over heels in love with Andrew. Her smile said it all, and I knew we’d be a perfect fit for her classic summer wedding at Noah’s Event Venue.

When I realized that their wedding would be on my birthday, I didn’t hesitate for a second. They even surprised me with a cake, sparkling cider, AND sang to me after the ceremony. I was thoroughly embarrassed! Spending my birthday with these two and their family and friends was absolutely worth it.

 Sweet moments between the bride and her mama are always a favorite of mine.

These ladies had a blast helping Karla get ready!

 Andrew and Karla shared an intimate and sweet first look.

Karla’s swiss tulle empire waist gown is from David’s Bridal.

 This bridal party is STUNNING.
The ladies are dressed in David Bridal’s 2015 Summer Collection, and the gentleman are rockin’ the classic tuxedo by Vera Wang.

It was a little warm on their wedding day in June, okay, maybe a lot warm 😉 but with these two as the center of attention, the ceremony was 1000000% worth it.

 Andrew and Karla have a community unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Most of their bridal party lives in Chicago, and they ALL flew out to be apart of the big day.
Talk about amazing friends!

After the ceremony, Andrew and Karla invited their pastor and bridal party into a separate room, away from all the craziness that a wedding day holds. They took communion together and then the bridal party surrounded them and prayed over their marriage. This wedding day wasn’t just about a party for them (although these cats knew how to dance!), it was about celebrating and sending them off into a new life together, as one.
Even I let a few tears slip away.

I could have ate A MILLION of these delicious cannoli’s from Zappone’s!And the evening at Noah’s was ended with a classic sparkler exit! Andrew and Karla,
Thank you for making me feel so welcomed by your family and community. They’ve got an incredible example of love and marriage found in you both.
Don’t be strangers ok? 😉
xoxo,
Suzy
