May 19th, 2024 has gone down in history as the day Joel and Sarah became Mr. & Mrs. Reyes and what a special day it was!! Their wedding day was simply beautiful. A true celebration of love and faith that left an indelible mark on everyone who attended. Held at the enchanting Secret Garden in Phoenix, Arizona, the day unfolded like an absolute dream, with the lush greenery and timeless architecture of the venue creating an intimate and serene atmosphere.
As the sun cast a golden glow over the garden, Joel and Sarah exchanged vows beneath a beautifully adorned arbor. The ceremony was deeply personal, reflecting their shared faith and the unwavering bond they’ve cultivated. The vows they gave to one another, filled with love and devotion, brought tears to the eyes of family and friends. It was a moment of pure connection, the start of a sacred union and a holy covenant. One of the most touching moments was when Joel and Sarah took prayed and took communion together. The immense reverence on their faces during that time left me in tears and it’s safe to say those are some of my most favorite photos from the whole day.
After the ceremony, guests gathered for a warm and welcoming reception. The Secret Garden ballroom provided the perfect canvas for an evening filled with laughter, heartfelt (and hysterical) toasts, and an unforgettable celebration filled with energy and joy! Surrounded by their dearest friends, they danced the night away. Laughter and FUN were everywhere, with lively moves (especially from all the groomsmen), and spontaneous moments, it was an epic party to say the least! At the end of the night everyone sent Joel and Sarah off in style, with a twinkly sparkler path for them to walk through.
Joel and Sarah’s wedding day wasn’t just an event — it was the start of their life together as husband & wife and a reminder to them that they are not alone on this journey. They were surrounded by SO much love and support from all their family and friends and it was absolutely touching to witness.
