A Timeless Celebration | Dominique & Corwin at El Chorro, Paradise Valley
Dominique and Corwin’s wedding at El Chorro was the kind of celebration that felt both effortless and deeply meaningful — a true reflection of their love and the people they cherish most.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Camelback Mountain, El Chorro brought together all the warmth and magic of the desert in spring. Every detail was intentionally chosen: soft neutral florals, terracotta accents, and just the right amount of timeless elegance. But what made this day unforgettable wasn’t the decor or even the incredible golden light — it was the way Dominique and Corwin looked at each other, completely present and grounded in the moment.
A Sunset Ceremony in the Desert
Their ceremony took place in the lush gardens of El Chorro, where swaying palms and desert blooms framed the aisle. Guests were welcomed with warm Arizona light and a calm breeze, the kind of atmosphere that makes you pause and truly take it all in.
As Dominique walked down the aisle, there was a collective quiet — a hush that falls when everyone knows they’re witnessing something sacred. The vows were heartfelt and deeply personal, with both laughter and tears shared between them and their guests. It was clear to everyone there: this wasn’t just a celebration — it was a covenant.
Portraits with a View
After the ceremony, we wandered the grounds for portraits. With Camelback Mountain glowing in the distance and the desert sky beginning to shift into its golden hour, Dominique and Corwin moved together with ease. They laughed, held hands, and stole little moments to themselves as we captured the beauty of the landscape — and the deeper beauty of their connection.
El Chorro is one of those rare places where every angle feels cinematic, and these two brought it to life.
A Joyful Reception Under the Stars
As the sun dipped behind the mountains, the reception came alive with soft candlelight, string lights overhead, and a layout that encouraged connection and conversation. Toasts were heartfelt and full of joy — with stories that painted a picture of Dominique and Corwin’s strength, kindness, and the life they’re building together.
And when the music started? The dance floor exploded with energy. From emotional first dances to an all-out celebration with their friends and family, the night was filled with movement, laughter, and the kind of joy you can feel in your chest.
A Love That Shines
Dominique and Corwin — thank you for allowing me to be part of your day. Your love is steady, radiant, and full of grace, and it was such an honor to capture this chapter of your story. Wishing you a lifetime of the same joy, warmth, and beauty that surrounded you on this incredible day.
With Love, Alex Marie
