Jen + Mark's Backyard Wedding

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Jen and Mark’s unforgettable backyard wedding—and let me tell you, this one was anything but traditional! From a lively party bus to luxurious fur coats and a stylish dinner at Durant’s, one of Phoenix’s most iconic restaurants, their wedding day was a perfect reflection of their fun-loving and sophisticated personalities.

Jen and Mark ditched the traditional wedding playbook and made their day uniquely theirs. Their intimate backyard ceremony was filled with warmth, laughter, and personal touches. Jen’s chic fur coat and Mark’s sharp suit set the tone for a stylish celebration. The relaxed yet elegant vibe made it clear that this wasn’t your average wedding—it was all about celebrating their love, their way.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests hopped on a party bus—because why not keep the celebration moving? The energy was electric as everyone danced, toasted, and laughed their way through the streets of Phoenix. Capturing those candid, joyful moments on the bus was a highlight of the day.

The reception took place at Durant’s, one of Phoenix’s most legendary dining spots. Known for its old-school charm, red leather booths, and classic steakhouse vibe, Durant’s was the perfect setting for an intimate yet stylish dinner. The couple and their guests enjoyed signature cocktails, mouthwatering steaks, and heartfelt toasts that left everyone smiling.

What made Jen and Mark’s wedding so special was how unapologetically them it was. From the chic fur coats to the lively party bus and the timeless elegance of Durant’s, every detail reflected their personality and style. Weddings like this are a reminder that the best celebrations are the ones that feel true to the couple.

It was such an honor to capture Jen and Mark’s love story. Congratulations to the happy couple—here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and making your own rules!
