El Chorro Wedding in Paradise Valley

Isabel and Adam’s wedding at El Chorro in Paradise Valley brought family together beneath a chuppah, with Camelback Mountain beyond the gardens. Soft greens and ivory carried through the flowers, paper, and reception tables. From the walk down the aisle to the hora, the photographs follow the people at the center of the celebration.

A family ceremony at El Chorro

Isabel’s parents walked her down the aisle together. Their Jewish ceremony included the seven blessings and the breaking of the glass, with family watching from the front rows. Mint Green’s flowers and the garden’s olive hedges framed the gathering.

Cocktail hour and a candlelit reception

Guests gathered on the Casa Paloma patio as the light over Camelback Mountain turned gold. Green and ivory flowers, BBJ La Tavola linens, and paper by Celebrations in Paper carried the design into dinner. Toasts and family dances led into the hora.
