The blog

Ohhhh, my goodness. I’m not sure there’s a way to properly express how excited I am about this engagement session! Not just because it’s filled with dreamy, desert goodness, but because Kate and Billy are absolutely ADORABLE. Even though we were all up bright and early at 5:30, their energy was filled with so much love and laughter, it was contagious!

Sunrise Engagement Session | Billy & Kate | Arizona Wedding Photographer

This one is for YOU. The bride to-be that’s hustling to make sure everything is perfect for your wedding day. The one that hasn’t stopped searching through Pinterest for tips and tricks to help this special day be everything you’ve been dreaming of.

I see you and I know how much of a wedding planning whirlwind you’re in.

Or the ones about someone or something running late and suddenly it’s sunset and you still haven’t captured the pictures you’ve been dying to have. You’re worried your wedding day may be like this and are doing everything you can to prevent it from happening. Trust me, these horror stories may scare us, BUT I’m going to tell you three tips you can do to make sure everything goes smoothly and absolutely stress-free once your wedding day arrives!

Three Tips for a Stress-Free Wedding Day!

I can’t tell you how excited I’ve been to make this blog post! Anyone that knows me, knows how much I loooove dogs (the the kind of “when I was six, I had a dog themed birthday party” type of love).  I’ve been blessed to have two really amazing ones! I’ve recently been getting a lot of questions on social media about Guinness and Parker, so I wanted to make a blog post about them! So, let’s meet the babies!

Meet the Puppies – Guinness & Parker!

One of my favorite parts of being a wedding photographer is when I get to photograph weddings in a new place! So, you can imagine my excitement when I found out I would be photographing Katie and Adam’s wedding at the LDS Temple in Phoenix! However, the perfection of this day went far beyond their location!

Their marriage created an atmosphere that radiated excitement. From the moment the doors of the temple opened, everyone knew the two of them were so ready to be married. When they came out, they had the biggest smiles, Adam proudly raised his arm in the air and their families cheered ecstatically!

Phoenix Arizona Temple Wedding | Katie & Adam

While Zach and Emily were going to school in Flagstaff, Arizona, they were also planning their wedding for a beautiful summer day in Corona, California. They may have planning from a state away, but everything came together SO perfectly!

Zach & Emily’s Destination Wedding

I thought this post would be suiting for Tuesday since it used to be my least favorite day of the week! To me, Tuesday is the least motivational day of the week. I can think of ways to stay productive any other week day.

Five Ways to Increase Productivity!

The first time I heard from Zach, he told me he was serving in the Marines. He wrote he was briefly returning to Arizona from North Carolina to his girlfriend of 3 1/2 years, Taylor. They wanted to have a session done while he was home before returning to the east coast, which just about made my heart melt.

Taylor & Zach’s Whimsical Desert Session

Oh, goodness, where do I start with this wedding day? Crystal and Steve decided to have their wedding at a gorgeous cabin in Flagstaff, Arizona and it couldn’t have been a more beautiful day! Whether it was the surrounding pines, all the pretty details OR the horses that were in the field next to us – everything couldn’t have been more perfect!

Steve + Crystal’s Beautiful Flagstaff Wedding

SO. When I was attending NAU, there would often be questions in my photography classes that were like, “WHAT KIND OF PHOTOGRAPHY CAREER DO YOU WANT?” And, “HOW ARE YOU GOING TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL?” …Except maybe it wasn’t as dramatic or in all caps, but that’s how I read it because I decided early on I wanted to pursue wedding photography, but literally had no idea how accomplish it. I didn’t have much of a wedding portfolio, I didn’t have a website and my Instagram was all over the place. So, with alllll those lovely odds in my favor, I had to figure out a plan to help me accomplish my dream.

3 Steps to Start Booking Weddings

Holy WOW. I don’t think there’s a word that can actually describe just how BEAUTIFUL these two people are! Tiffany and Levi are serious relationship goals. When we arrived to our engagement shoot location, I think it took me a solid five minutes before I could pick my jaw up from how stunning they were! Everything about them was SO on point, whether it was their outfits, the sweetest interactions they exchanged or simply how hilarious they were (I don’t think I stopped wiping away tears from laughing the entire time).
