I was finally able to film at Viola’s Flower Garden in Flagstaff, AZ. It was as dreamy as I hoped it would be. The flowers are just unbelievable. The grounds provide both beautiful, natural forest and the incredible nursery area. The ceremony location is ideal, there is a full kitchen, and there was plenty of space to dance.

I would happily film at Viola’s every weekend.

Taylor had a sweet first look with her dad in the ponderosas. There is something so tender about a dad seeing his daughter in her wedding dress for the first time. Kevin also couldn’t wait to see Taylor walk down the aisle, and I loved the anticipation of that moment. There was a huge supply of love and support for Taylor and Kevin, and it was a joy to film their wedding.

Oh, and Fat Olives catered this wedding and it was some of my favorite food I’ve ever eaten at a wedding. They even sent me home with a personal pan pizza.
