A Cabin Celebration in Arizona’s Woodsy Romance

WEDDINGS

May 24th, 2025

Aubrie & Tyler

Aubrie and Tyler’s wedding in the Arizona mountains was the kind of day that felt like stepping into a storybook—where jewel-toned florals met the warmth of woodsy cabin light and every detail was steeped in heartfelt intention. As a Phoenix wedding photographer, I’m always drawn to weddings that embrace the natural world, and this one did it in a way that felt so personal and so true to them.

Aubrie started her morning surrounded by her bridesmaids, laughter echoing through the cabin as they shared coffee and popped a bottle of champagne off the balcony—her two dogs never far from the action. She slipped into her dress with her mom by her side, the moment as quiet and sweet as the mountains around them. At the neighbors cabin, Tyler and his groomsmen took shots of Arizona whiskey admiring the 1967 hot red mustang nearby.

They chose to forgo a first look, saving that quiet magic for the moment Aubrie walked down the aisle—a decision that added an extra layer of anticipation and sweetness to the day. Before the ceremony, though, there was a first look with her dad, a reveal with her bridesmaids, and a staircase photo that recreated a cherished memory from her parents’ wedding.

The ceremony took place in the late afternoon light, surrounded by tall pines and the soft glow of twinkle lights. Their vows felt like they belonged there—spoken under a canopy of leaves that had seen countless seasons but somehow felt brand new just for them.

Afterward, they took a few moments for themselves, stepping away from the celebration to wander through the woods and the quiet streets near the cabin. Those are some of my favorite images—just the two of them, breathing in the mountain air and holding onto the weight of that moment.

The reception was a warm, jewel-toned glow of laughter, first dances, heartfelt toasts, and sweet kisses under the twinkle lights. Aubrie and Tyler danced with their parents, shared a quiet moment during the money dance, and leaned into every embrace like they knew this was the start of everything.

As an Arizona wedding photographer, I get to see how each couple writes their own chapter, and Aubrie and Tyler’s was one of those days that felt like it could have gone on forever. It was simple and sweet, cozy and a little wild—everything a cabin wedding in the mountains should be.
