As a Hotel Valley Ho Wedding Photographer, I knew from the moment we met Emily and John we knew their wedding day would be something special. These two met and fell in love at work — Emily is an RN, and John is a brain surgeon. Their shared passion for helping others and living life to the fullest brought them together, and their wedding day reflected that same energy, love, and connection.






















































Hotel Valley Ho is a favorite of ours for so many reasons — and this wedding was the perfect example of why. Emily and John exchanged vows on the venue’s lush green lawn, surrounded by palm trees and tropical vibes. It’s like a hidden paradise right in the heart of Scottsdale — ideal for couples who want a more vibrant, modern setting without the typical desert backdrop.
Their ceremony was heartfelt and emotional, with their closest friends and family looking on as they said “I do” under sunny skies and swaying palms.
After the ceremony, guests made their way to the rooftop for a night of celebration. With the Scottsdale skyline in the background and the stars overhead, the rooftop reception felt dreamy and intimate. Emily and John shared their first dance as the sky faded into night, and then the party really began!
The dance floor stayed full all night long. Laughter, heartfelt toasts, and so many happy tears filled the evening — exactly the kind of moments we love capturing.
As an Arizona wedding photography and video team, we’ve worked at dozens of venues across the state, and Hotel Valley Ho continues to be a favorite.
