If you are considering hosting your wedding or elopement in the Arizona desert, you have to visit Desert Views, located in Apache Junction. This desert wedding venue in Arizona is modern, has breathtaking views of the Superstition mountains, and is all inclusive!!
Having known Austin since junior high and after photographing a few of his friends’ weddings, it was such a joy to capture his and Jordan’s big day. Seeing how happy they were made it all the more special!
Austin and Jordan’s love story began with a classic modern twist – meeting on Hinge, where Austin broke the ice with a Spongebob line! He was instantly drawn to Jordan’s stunning profile, and they quickly discovered they had a lot in common—same hometown in Colorado, same favorite sports teams.
Their first date was at a local sports bar, and it turned into hours of nonstop conversation. Austin knew right away that he had to see her again. Jordan, who admits she took her time before meeting him, was impressed by Austin’s choice of Uncle Bears, a dog-themed spot that perfectly matched her love for dogs.
Their connection was instant! Austin’s easygoing vibe made Jordan feel at home, and after three back-to-back dates, they knew they had something special. From that moment on, they never looked back.
When I asked Austin and Jordan what drew them to the Desert Views wedding venue, they couldn’t resist the modern style and stunning views. (Something I cant resist either!)
After meeting with the venue manager, they knew it was the right choice! She made them feel so welcomed and comfortable, which was exactly what they were looking for!

There are a few iconic details that sets this wedding venue apart from any other wedding venue near the Phoenix area that I have to share!
The getting-ready areas at Desert Views are stunning! The bridal suite is all white and super spacious, with gorgeous natural light that makes everything glow.
There’s a separate dressing area, so you don’t have to stress about tidying up the whole room for your photos. Plus, the suite opens up to a private patio, perfect for first looks, PJ photos, and more!
You know it’s a great wedding venue when you have options for your ceremony location! Desert Views offers two different ceremony sites: the chapel and the lawn. It’s a great setup because you have an indoor option in case of bad weather, without sacrificing those stunning mountain views.
Both the chapel and the event space feature huge glass windows that can be opened up, so you can still enjoy the scenery during your ceremony.
Austin and Jordan’s wedding was overcast, but the perfect setting for a comfortable outdoor ceremony!
One of my favorite things about Desert Views is how the white buildings create a blank slate. You can keep the decor simple or go all out—it’s totally up to you. Plus, the white walls against the desert backdrop look stunning with any color scheme! Making it super versatile for whatever vibe you’re going for.
Bonus: Everything at Desert Views is super close together, so you won’t waste any time traveling between spots on your wedding day. It keeps everything convenient and stress-free, letting you focus on enjoying the moment!
Capturing Austin and Jordan’s love story was so much fun, and I’m so grateful to have been part of their journey! If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about preserving the real, heartfelt moments of your wedding day, I’d love to be there for you too! Let’s start planning your perfect day together, reach out, here to book today!
Whether you’re seeking to infuse a non-traditional vibe into a conventionally classic wedding or crafting an entirely unprecedented way to say “I do,” you deserve more than just an ordinary photography experience.
