Kylie + Matei’s Spring Wedding at Villa Siena

 Back in 2018, in the Chianti region of Tuscany, Matei proposed to Kylie at Castello Di Meleto. (Yes, this couple is straight out of a rom-com, & we’re all jealous.) 

Since their engagement location was close to Siena, Italy, they knew Villa Siena in Gilbert, Arizona was the perfect spot to officially tie the knot. And I agree!! Out of all the wedding venues in Gilbert, this location was basically made for them!!

Matei + Kylie had beautiful, heartwarming vows. Ya girl was practically sobbing into my camera – but can you blame me??? These two are such cuties. And their families were obviously so happy about these two tying the knot!

Romantic Garden Wedding Reception in Arizona

Since Matei is Romanian, there were a few Romanian traditions that made their way into the reception! I loooove seeing the blend of different cultures coming together to create a super unique, personalized wedding day.

One of my favorite parts of this reception was their toasts. Kylie’s sister gave just the nicest speech that had everyoneeeee crying. She talked about how much she loved their relationship and how sweet Matei has always been to her! Matei’s best friend then gave a heartfelt speech sprinkled with some dry humor that had everyone cracking up.

This wedding reception was a fricken’ BLAST and a half. You can tell it was honestly SOOOO important to both Kylie + Matei that their families were able to come from all over the world to celebrate with them. Their friends and family members were getting down all over that dance floor. It was just one big, fun party celebrating their long-awaited wedding. SERIOUS heart eyes over here relieving this day.

learn more about how I do this

With a background in filmmaking, my job is to approach your wedding like I would a film – balancing between the director and a fly-on-the-wall approach. My primary focus is on documenting all of the emotions in the room, that way in the end you get photos that reflect how the day felt, and not just what your shoes looked like.
