Chique Elegant Wedding | Christine + Steven

Scottsdale, Shannon, Sonesta Suites at Gainey Ranch, Wedding

June 19, 2026

I had so much fun looking back through Christine and Steven’s beautiful day. Their Chique Elegant Wedding in Scottsdale, Arizona was filled with love, family, and so many meaningful moments.

The day began at Archangel Michael Coptic Orthodox Church, a place that held deep meaning for the couple. Not only do they attend church there together as a family, but it is also where their relationship grew. Christine and Steven looked forward to becoming one in the church, and every moment of the ceremony felt heartfelt and emotional.

Their wedding vision centered around a classic, timeless, and elegant atmosphere. From the beautiful church ceremony to the reception at Sonesta Suites at Gainey Ranch, every detail reflected that vision. The outdoor greenery surrounding the venue created a gorgeous backdrop, while the elegant drapery and twinkle lights added a romantic touch to the evening.

The wedding party looked stunning. The Maid of Honor wore beautiful shade of blue, while Steven started the day in a classic black suit before changing into a bright royal navy suit for the reception. Together, they truly embodied the sophisticated style of this Chique Elegant Wedding.

Guests enjoyed an incredible celebration featuring an open bar, Middle Eastern hors d’oeuvres and desserts, a split-plate dinner, and a fun ice luge for drinks. One of the biggest crowd favorites was the couple’s large wedding cake, which they decorated together with fresh berries and powdered sugar. Their LOVE ice sculpture and signature dip-and-kiss moment also wowed everyone in attendance.

One moment stood above the rest. Christine’s 12-year-old daughter, Saige, gave a heartfelt speech welcoming Steven as her dad and sharing how much he meant to her. There was not a dry eye in the room. It was a beautiful reminder that this Chique Elegant Wedding celebrated not only a marriage, but the joining of a loving family.
