Intimate Blackstone Wedding
Blackstone in Vistanica feels like home to me as I have shot so many weddings here BUT this one was extremely special. I got to shoot Caitlyn and Andre’s intimate, sunset wedding. Walking into Blackstone you feel like you are in a Tuscany villa far away. It’s one of Arizonas most slept on Venues in my option. This wedding was stunning and that’s due to a couple reasons 1. The amazing Blackstone venue 2. The absolutely stunning couple 3. Luxurybybts planning it!
The details
Walking through the space, you get a timeless feel of effortless deign that looks and feels authentic. They had string instruments playing music, and artist painting the ceremony space and a reception that looked absolutely breath taking.
Getting Ready
VOWS
The couple wanted to privately read each other their vows and have a moment.
Portraits
All the photos were to be done before the ceremony and I love this option for a wedding day tip: if you want to just get all the important photos done before the ceremony a first look is the way to go
The Ceremony
This ceremony was one of the most unique I have gotten to shoot. It started as the sun went down and continued into the night. It was beautifully candlelit for an intimate, elegant, and unique ceremony.
Candlelit Details
Everything changes when the candles get lit. Taking photos during the day and night helps you get the whole picture of the mood and tone of the wedding. Music still playing, the artist finishing up his piece, and lights above that you could almost mistake for stars.
Post Marriage
When you are feeling all the feels. We felt like it was important to get a few more shots of the bride and groom after the ceremony because you can never have enough cute photos.
Reception
The reception started with energy high. They went right into their first dance with included cold sparks. tip: cold sparks add such an amazing flare to your first dance and make for beautiful photos. After their dance the parents made a lovely speech followed by dinner, parent dances, cake, and FUN.
