Elsa & Arthur Destination: Old Tuscan Studios, Arizona

Wedding Date: March 12th 2016

See the story starts with twin brothers, a lovely bride and a pregnant cancan dancer dressed in red. Two strangers with guns enter the room, fire two shots in the air and take the whole wedding hostage.  The groom gets slapped, the cancan dancer throws herself at the twin brother before she abruptly runs off….and somehow everyone is fine with it and lives happily ever?!  OMG.  No matter how I try to retell Elsa and Art’s wedding it still sounds like a lead in to a good punch line or far-fetched movie.  Well, the movie part isn’t too far off in fact as the two chose to marry at long fabled Old Tucson Studios.  This is home to some of movie’s best narratives and epic sets, namely The Three Amigos, Tombstone, Wild Wild West, and countless of classic Westerns.  Saguaros frame off this plot of land like towering totem poles of history and legend. I must say, these two have the ‘wow factor’ in heaps. It’s easy to be Elsa and Art’s super-fans, as they just love being around family and quality friends who keep life lighthearted.  Even the staff at Old Tucson picked up on the theme of keeping things easy as they pulled out their very best this starry night.  I have a gut feeling this is only just the start of the fun this pair will have.  Janelle and I are honored to be invited along for the wild ride.  Giddy up!
