Lani & Alex's Backyard Wedding | Phoenix Wedding Photographer

We knew Lani & Alex were an R2 Studio couple as soon as we met them. Alex’s tattoos made that a given & Lani’s edgy look vibes with our edgy, urban, Phoenix wedding photographer style. We rocked an amazing downtown Phoenix urban engagement session with them, so we expected nothing less on their wedding day. Lani & Alex opted for a more casual, intimate backyard ceremony and celebration surrounded by the most important people in their lives. There is something so natural about photographing a wedding this intimate.

A huge thank you to our new associate photographer in training, Liz. She captured some amazing shots you will see below and our other associate in training, Ashley, who rocked out her first R2 wedding video – to be posted soon! We loved being able to capture their day in the R2 style….ENJOY!

Azure at Artistry by Azure amazed us with her unique & edgy make-up style. Wait until you see Lani’s amazing lipstick and eyes!

LOVED her elegant, simple & classy JCrew gown. It was Lani, 100%

Smokin’ hot Alex…..

You know we LOVE 1st looks. Lani & Alex chose to do one, tears and all. Love the 3 angles captured by R2 (Robin & Renee) & Liz.

See I warned you about those lips….bright red and so hot!

This was Liz capturing some amazing natural light images below….this was her official trial run. If you are wondering…she passed! Love the candid feel to these images.

Nothing like a shot of tequila before walking down the aisle.

Lani & Alex were emotional pretty much the entire ceremony….who wouldn’t be when you are marrying your love! The ceremony set up was so casual, yet so intimate. All of their guests gathered in standing room only style.

Lani, JCrew called and would like their AD back. This seriously looks like she stepped out of their magazine.

What better than sprinkles? I mean come on….and she even ordered us some vegan ones. AMAZING! This is only one of the reasons why we love Lani!

And that’s a wrap….we wish Lani & ALex the happiest life journey filled with amazing memories, even greater love. We love you guys like crazy….can’t wait to party it up at the R2 Prom!!!
