The MaeWood Collective

Gabe turned around expecting to see his precious bride standing before him... What he didn’t expect to see was her taking a picture of him with the very first disposable camera they used to capture the beginning of their journey together! This adorable, decorated camera was hand-designed by Christine just for them. Gabe was flooded with emotion as he took in the site of his beautiful bride and relived those sweet memories!

2+0+2+4=8 ✨ In numerology the number 8 is associated with ease, flow, “infinite” love and possibilities! It’s the year the proverbial “road” opens up and allows your well made plans and dreams to come to fruition. AND we get an entire extra day?!?!? Yup! It’s a Leap Year too!!! Some cultural superstitions posit that getting hitched during a Leap Year ensures a prosperous union. Not to mention, this years Leap Day just so happens to fall on a Saturday and sounds like the perfect day to do something fun! Kismet?!?! We think so! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Do you know anyone engaged to be married in 2024?!?!

Three questions you should ask your venue that can impact your photography experience! Choosing your wedding venue isn’t just about how beautiful it is! Even when you are considering photography! So when you stop in to say hello, be sure to include these questions. 1. Do I have the ability to take photos on the property anywhere at any time? Many venues have multiple locations on site which means couples will have to share the best venue locations or stick to one spot on the property. 2. Are we able to use a drone? If you are too close to an airport, federal park, or a part of an HOA, drone coverage can be tricky or impossible! If drone footage is important to you, be sure to know the details of your venue! 3. What time can we be on site? This is huge for hair and make up artists, which ultimately impacts photographers! The later the arrival time at your venue, the later hair and make up can start or the more locations you need on a wedding day which can potentially lead to less photo coverage. We hope this helps! If you learned about things you wish you knew about your venue, drop them below and help out our future couples! #venuequestions #weddingvendorsaz #weddinngvendorspa

This was supposed to go out yesterday, but it’s better late than never! These two got married yesterday at @osborniafarm and it was absolutely magical! We have sneak peeks ready but we are holding them ransom from the gram because we haven’t had a chance to show this beauty yet!

We are heading out to Brianne and Giovanni’s wedding day, but before we start with all their wedding day events and behind the scenes, we wanted to throw Alley and Chris a little sneak peek from last night’s engagement session! As always, thank you to @swanharborfarm for allowing us to use your beautiful landscape as our backdrop for our love stories!

CAUGHT IN THE ACT!!!!! We don’t just TELL our couples how to create movement in their photos…we DEMONSTRATE that shiz too!!!! Here, we have @themwc_jes & @themwc_meg showing @emily_long3 & @me_llamo_bradley the trick to mastering “the frolic” (which, if we’re honest, they were already total naturals at…those two were made for frolicking in the forest!)!
