Wow, June absolutely flew by, but one of the highlights for me was photographing Lakin and Jasmyne’s engagement portraits at sunrise in Sedona! We originally planned this session for April, but due to ice and snow, we decided to postpone—and I’m so glad we did! The timing turned out to be perfect, allowing us to capture the stunning beauty of Sedona’s landscape.

Zach and Mai met for their first date in a mall food court back in their hometown. Mai said she was nervous walking up to him, but that Zach almost immediately made her feel like he was someone she had known personally for years. They had an immediate connection, which has only grown and flourished […]

Zach & Mai’s Destination Wedding at Hyatt Ziva in Puerto Vallarta

Jolene and Tyler have been married for six years and are two of the most wonderful people.

Jade’s Bachelorette Party in Scottsdale

Their relationship began with a simple bet — If Bryant won, he’d take Miaya on a date. If Miaya won, she’ take Bryant on a date. They both took a chance and ended up on a date with the person they were going to marry. I saw them together for the first time at their […]

Miaya and Bryant’s Wedding Day | Estrella Vista Reception Center | Phoenix, AZ

When Kelsey and Daniel asked if I wanted to travel to Washington to photograph their wedding, I nearly jumped with excitement. Not only was I excited to travel to the Pacific Northwest for the first time, but I was stoked to be photographing these two and all the wonderful things their wedding day would hold. Being a desert dweller, I immediately started imagining  how lovely the location would be and how elegant the bridal party would look against all the greenery.

But, guys, this wedding exceeded all the expectations I had in every possible way.

Kelsey & Daniel | Destination Wedding at Tin Roof Barn | White Salmon, Washington

Lindsey & Tanner’s Tre Bella Wedding | Mesa, Arizona

When the curtain drew back, there was an energy that swept the room. Lindsey stood at the head of the aisle as tears filled in the eyes of her guests. Tanner beamed as he gazed at his best friend with anticipation. The two of them were getting ready to become one and everyone there was overwhelmed with happiness. The room fell silent (aside from the occasional nose sniffle!) as Lindsey made her way to Tanner. Four years had led up to this – a day filled with beautiful details, two wonderful families and a bride and groom who were eager to finally become one.

Lindsey & Tanner’s Tre Bella Wedding | Mesa, Arizona

Oh, my goodness. Throughout Kelsey & Daniel’s engagement session I found myself either:

A) Completely obsessed with how wonderfully they complimented one another. The way they smiled, laughed and played made abundantly clear the love, care, and compassion they’ve shared together over the last five years.

B) Straight up laughing to the point of tears. These two are a hilarious duo that are filled with so much light and amazing silliness. It was seriously impossible for me to stop smiling the entireeee time!

Westin La Paloma Engagement Session | Kelsey & Daniel | Tucson, Arizona

One of the best parts of my job is being able to work with people as amazing as Czarina and Michael! These two are the sweetest and have an overwhelming amount of love & respect for one another. I loved seeing how excited Czarina would get to kiss Michael or how much they would make each other laugh nonstop! Their relationship is filled with genuine compassion and even though their wedding is a year away, I mayyyy already have a countdown going for when I get to capture them together as husband and wife!
