When it’s done right, I love a backyard wedding. As an Arizona wedding photographer, I see how these kinds of days make my couples feel more relaxed all the time. Plus, they include more intentionality and really reflect your relationship, which is always something that makes a huge difference on your wedding day!  If you’re […]

Okay, Kelsey and Joshua’s day is the perfect example of why wedding details are so important on your big day. If you’re anything like me… You don’t want your wedding to feel like a performance. You want it to feel real, and grounded, and as an Arizona wedding photographer, I know that those are the […]

Boojum Tree Hidden Gardens is one of those Arizona wedding venues where you walk in and genuinely pause for a second, like, wait, are we still in Phoenix? It’s green, layered, a little humid, and feels like you accidentally stepped into a tropical greenhouse instead of the desert. And I LOVE that about this place. If […]

A Biltmore wedding that feels like a full weekend with your favorite people, where everything flows, and no one’s rushing? Yeah, that’s the kind of energy we’re going for! Vanessa and Layth were already married. So instead of recreating a ceremony, they built their day around what they actually wanted more of: time together, portraits […]

One of the first things I noticed at this Gold Canyon Golf Resort wedding wasn’t even the view (which is saying something, because it’s Arizona and the mountains are doing their thing). It was how easy everything felt. So if you’re venue hunting and trying to figure out what’s going to feel good, not just […]

There’s usually this quiet pressure that it has to be a whole thing, outfits, posing, knowing what to do, and I just want to say right […]

Ever thought about doing engagement photos somewhere a little different than the usual desert overlook or mountain trail? Hotel engagement photos might be one of the most fun options out there! Think date night energy. You grab a drink, wander the property together, and maybe sit at the bar for a minute while the sun […]

You know that moment in Phoenix when the sun finally starts dropping behind the skyline and the whole city kind of… relaxes a little? That’s one of the reasons we love photographing Phoenix engagement photos downtown in the evening. The light softens, the heat chills out just enough to be enjoyable, patio lights start flickering […]

If you’ve toured a few Arizona wedding venues already, you probably know the feeling. You walk in. Someone shows you a ballroom. There’s a courtyard. Maybe a golf course. Everyone nods politely. And by the third tour, you’re sitting in the car afterward like… wait, which venue was that again? Stonebridge Manor wedding venue in […]

Editorial engagement photos get talked about like they’re high-fashion or reserved for couples who live in front of a camera. Which is SO not true! You absolutely do not need to be a model to have editorial engagement photos. You just need the right photographer. (Hi, it’s us!) Being in the room with Lauriel and […]
