The blog

The first time I saw them together was in high school. They brought so much happiness to their friends and anyone that saw them knew how much they admired one another. Since then, they’ve attended college, pursued careers, traveled to Disneyland (a lottttt) and experienced huge milestones together. That’s why when they asked me to capture their wedding, I knew it was going to be special.

Adam and Lauren planned a wedding that simply celebrated the love they’ve shared over the past six years. It was different from other weddings – They invited 20 guests, didn’t have a bridal party and created their own floral arrangements. And. It. Turned. Out. Stunning! Every thing about their wedding embraced the love these two wonderful people share and the happiness from their loved ones that they were finally coming together as husband and wife!

Arizona Desert Wedding | Adam & Lauren | Tucson, AZ

Hi, friends! I’ve been receiving questions lately about Instagram and how to effectively use it for promotional growth. A lot of Instagram users are frustrated with the app, and I honestly can’t blame them! There have been so many changes with Instagram’s algorithm that it’s sometimes hard to feel like you can really make any significant progress. 

BUT. I decided to create a brand new Instagram e-book that walks you through several things you can be doing to up your Instagram game! The best part? There’s content in here for every type of user! So, whether you’re a beginner, a shadow banned user or and IG pro – I made this guide specifically so that everyone can learn something new from it!

The Free 15-Page Instagram E-Book!

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

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).

Tiffany & Levi

Hi there! I’m a little over-the-top excited because this is my first ever blog post on the Exhilaration Photography website (cue confetti)! I’ve been a little nervous about creating my first post mostly because I’m kind of terrible at talking about myself. Which sounds strange because nothing should be easier than telling a bunch of people who you are and what you’re about. I think I enjoy learning more about others, so I tend to jump right into wanting to hear everything about them before even mentioning anything about me!
