Sarah and Cameron are such beautiful humans inside and out! They had a Tucson Elopement at Gate’s Pass last April and I still get sentimental thinking about this day! They love each other SO much and being able to capture this time for them was such a privilege. It was an emotional, gorgeous, and sunny desert day that I will never forget.
Read MoreBefore I get into this beautiful elopement, I have to mention first that I 2nd shot (assisted) this one for the fantastic Alyssa Ryan Photography. She was the lead photographer and I was working for her (which was so fun and she was so lovely to work with!) and she is kind enough to let me use the images I took for my portfolio. :)
Read MoreMarissa and Stephen! Two adorable humans from the Bay Area who came down to the Grand Canyon for a quick winter vacation. I’m afraid they thought it might be warmer at the Grand Canyon, but thankfully I was able to warn them before their trip that it would NOT be very warm at all. Doesn’t matter, though!! We still had a lot of fun frolicking around the South Rim and enjoyed a pretty stunning sunset.
Read MoreDavis and Akta are from my beloved, the greatest city in the world, Chicago. They came out to Tucson for a quick New Year’s getaway. (They actually stayed at the same hotel as Tony & Laura - apparently the Ritz is well worth staying at!!) Davis planned to propose on January 2 and he wanted to do so in a beautiful, desert-y, as-secluded-as-possible spot. I was, of course, totally on board. :D
Read MoreBack at it at the Big Hole! Otherwise known as… the Grand Canyon. :) I loved this one because, being at the end of December, it was my first time seeing the Grand Canyon covered in snow! It was obviously gorgeous before, but this added a whole new element. Thank goodness for Rachael and Joe’s New Year’s trip and Joe being a romantic and proposing near the holiday! :D
Read MoreMelissa and Jeff were absolutely perfect clients in every sense of the word. After having their wedding plans ruined multiple times by COVID, they just said "screw it" and decided to elope in the desert with a few close friends. They trusted me completely to find them a good spot and recommend the time of day. They quoted Ron Swanson and Michael Scott to each other in their (beautiful, incredible, tear-jerking) personal vows.
Read MoreTony and Laura came out to Tucson from Indiana for a little winter getaway in mid-December. (Being from Chicago, I cannot blame them for wanting to escape that weather for our gorgeous Arizona winters!) Tony reached out to me about having his proposal to Laura photographed and I was obviously so down!
Read MoreThis elopement ceremony in Catalina State Park was just the sweetest. ❤ As was the story behind it. Penny and Steve knew each other in school, but lost touch over the years and both got married and had their own families. A few years ago, Penny’s husband passed away and she didn’t think she’d find love again. But the universe had other plans.
Read MoreAhhh Arizona… it’s no secret how beautiful this place is. But when planning something in the outdoors here, one needs to remember that it can also be pretty harsh. From weather extremes to unfriendly wildlife to the pokey prickly plants. When planning your Arizona elopement, you have to take these things into account and plan accordingly!
