Fall Wedding | Eric & Citlali

Desert Willow Golf Resort

Eric & Citlali’s destination fall wedding at Desert Willow Golf Resort was a dream! Purple mountains, lush fairways and lake views were their perfect backdrop to both their ceremony and reception. Family and friends traveled from near and far to witness the happy couple say I Do.

We began our time at the venue with a first look. Citlali gently tapped Eric on the shoulder and as he turned to see his soon to be Bride, his facial expression was simply priceless.

We adore first looks because it gives the Bride and Groom an opportunity to truly engage with each other without any distractions, and those photos are definitely some of our favorite of the wedding day.

During the reception Citlali surprised Eric with something that he had wanted for their wedding…a white jacket, which he immediately put on and continued to dance the night away.

As always, some of the most heartfelt moments were during the speeches and surprise video which played as the Bride’s Sister recalled some of the best moments of their childhood together. More sweet dances with those they loved followed by cake cutting, more dancing and lots of love and laughs.

Eric & Citlali’s wedding is definitely one of our favorite fall weddings of 2017! Such a loving couple and from the short time we had with their family and friends we can see where it all stems from. A beautiful family, fantastic friends and love that will last a lifetime.

To Eric & Citlali, we feel so blessed to have been a part of your day! May your marriage be filled with years of joy & love, because as we always say…marriage is awesome! Hugs! E&B
