An Intimate Wedding at The Little Daisy in Jerome | George & Chloe

Chloe was drawn to Italian-feeling architecture and black-and-white photographs. For her wedding to George, The Little Daisy in Jerome brought historic architecture and wide Arizona views into the same setting. They planned an intimate celebration, with a table they styled themselves and time for portraits around the property.

The Little Daisy’s facade has repeated arched windows and doors, with climbing greenery along the walls.

A Historic Wedding Venue in Jerome, Arizona

The Little Daisy began as a hotel for miners in 1918. Today, the restored Spanish Revival estate sits on Jerome’s hillside, with the Verde Valley stretching below it. Its arched windows, French doors, and open-air veranda give couples several ways to bring the building into their photographs.

For a wedding here, I’m interested in both scales: a wider portrait that shows the setting, then something closer, where the architecture becomes a simple frame around the two of you. That variety is one of the reasons to leave a little room for portraits at the venue rather than planning every photograph in one spot.

George and Chloe’s Intimate Wedding

In our planning conversations, George and Chloe kept the celebration simple and personal. Their plans included a ceremony officiated by Chloe’s dad, family photographs, portraits of the two of them, and cutting their cake before dinner. They also put their own care into the tablescape.

A smaller wedding still has a lot to remember. The table you put together, the person standing beside you during the ceremony, and the people gathered nearby all deserve a place in the photographs. I like to talk through those priorities ahead of time so there’s room for the details and the people behind them.

Black-and-White Portraits at The Little Daisy

Chloe’s love of black-and-white photography was part of our conversations before the wedding. In a place with so much architectural character, that gives us a useful direction for portraits: pay attention to the lines of the building, the light, and the way two people fit together in the frame.

When you’re thinking about your own wedding photographs, share the images you keep coming back to and what you love about them. A close portrait, a wider scene, and a candid photograph each tell us something different about what matters to you. Those preferences help me guide the portraits while staying attentive to what happens naturally.
