Taran and Michael’s Buttes at Reflections wedding was ahhhh-mazing! But, let’s back up a bit!

Taran and Mike met in college, in much the same way that we did, and when we think about these two, we think about how perfectly they complement each other and how much they remind us of ourselves. They even honeymooned in Hawaii – just like we did!

So when Taran sent us snapshots of her dress, of The Dress, before the wedding, we swooned. And when she chose to do a bridal session with us months beforehand, and we got to see it in person and on her, we swooned even more. And then Taran teased us mercilessly for what feels like forever because here we were with beautiful pictures of our bride in her gown, and we weren’t allowed to share it with the world until after the wedding. We were dying! Let’s just say it wasn’t easy!

But Taran and Mike’s Buttes at Reflections wedding finally came around and we loved every minute of it. Their wedding was the first to kick off our 2016 and already it’s a strong contender for being one of our favorites! In fact, one of their images was chosen to be featured on a blog amongst other phenomenal images, and we couldn’t feel more humbled or honored. If you’d like to see which image it was, head on over to My Desert Love. There, you’ll also be able to find amazing inspirational images for desert weddings!

Taran and Mike, thank you for inviting us to be a part of your wedding day. We hope one day, a long time from now, your children and your grandchildren will look at your wedding photos and understand the love that you two shared. We hope you’ll enjoy and love these photos as much as we loved being witness to and sharing in the magic of your special day.
