Wedding Inspiration

WEDDING IN A DESERT

EL CHORRO, SCOTTSDALE, AZ

As you may know by now, I love to travel and I thoroughly enjoy my life as a destination wedding photographer exploring new places and cultures. I recently captured a wedding in Scottsdale, where I fell in love with Arizona’s landscape, so it was a natural fit for to me to go back and capture a special styled shoot in Paradise Valley.

Get ready for loads of wedding inspiration with desert flair!

Scottsdale is known for its beautiful wedding venues, and one of my favorites is El Chorro in the Paradise Valley. El Chorro provides an unparalleled atmosphere of luxury and romance. It is framed by Camelback Mountain, a truly incredible desert landmark.

Thanks to this fantastic setting, any wedding held at El Chorro in Paradise Valley will be unforgettable! A beautiful, historic building, delicious local and seasonal cuisine…what more could you want?

Rackel from Rackel Gehlsen Weddings was the event planner for this Scottsdale wedding styled shoot. Together with the talented Alexis Grace Florals, she pulled off an incredible El Chorro wedding design that any Arizona bride would adore!
