Ok, before I get to the good stuff, I just have to say… Grand Canyon. HOLY WOW. My little Midwestern heart practically jumped right out of my chest. It’s true what they say: the Grand Canyon is impossible to describe or capture in a photograph. But of course, I’m me, so I still tried. ;)
Read MoreUmmm can you say GORGEOUS?! I don’t think I’ll ever get over Canyon Lake. I’ve always been a lake person (pools are too manufactured and chemically, oceans are too salty and terrifying, but lakes are perfect), so to see and swim in such a beautiful lake really filled my cup. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Read MoreWhen I visited Tucson to make absolutely sure it was the right place for me (spoiler alert: it is), these friends let me sleep on their couch for FOUR WHOLE NIGHTS. That’s a lot, y’all, especially for the middle of the week. But they made me feel right at home and even let me drag them out to Picacho Peak for super fun couples session.
Read MoreWe had planned for sunset, but of course, it was one of the few cloudy days in Southern Arizona. But honestly, I’ll take clouds where I can get them! As much as I love the Arizona sun, and especially the Arizona sunsets, clouds are a photographer’s best friends. Dat even lighting tho.
Read MoreIt was seriously a privilege to be a part of this awesome Lutheran/Sikh interfaith elopement. Kyle and Mehtab had been together a couple years and decided pretty last minute to get married! They originally weren’t going to have a photographer, but Kyle’s sister-in-law found me and gifted them some a couple hours of coverage!
Read MoreUgh I love this one. (I know, I say that about all of them lol.) This morning lakefront elopement in June 2019 was one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen. Emily and Sarah had been together for many years and were soon having their first child together, and decided… hey, we’re committed, we’re having a kid, it’s pride month… why the heck not?!
Read MoreYou may have noticed that I use the term “intimate wedding” a lot, instead of just “wedding.” An intimate wedding is sort of a cross between a traditional wedding and an elopement. (Fun fact: in my opinion, all elopements are intimate weddings, but not all intimate weddings are elopements. Ya feel?)
Read MoreHey there. This blog post is a little different. I thought I’d tell you all a little bit about me! Your friendly neighborhood elopement photographer! If you’ve been following along for a while, you may be wondering how I got here. How did I, of all people, get to be an intimate wedding and elopement photographer in Arizona?
Read MoreEverything came together perfectly. My wonderful models and their outfits/flowers, the amazing fall colors, the jaw-dropping sunset playing off the rocks, the perfect fallen log pedestal in the field.
