Mesa, AZ Wedding // Preston and Jenna

Preston and Jenna have been a dream to get to know and work with. Jenna’s one of the most laid back brides I’ve had, yet so full of joy and excitement to marry her best friend.

Preston and Jenna met at Phoenix One, an amazing gathering for young professionals. I was fortunate enough to intern there several years ago, and it makes my heart so happy to see that Preston and Jenna found love there! These two are the real deal. Genuine hearts, genuine friends, and a genuine love for one another. They celebrated at Superstition Manor with their closest friends and family and had a night to remember! Here’s a peek at their wedding day!

Some of my absolute favorites were apart of Preston and Jenna’s wedding, be sure to check them out at the end of the post!

I think we all were in tears.
