You may have seen these two before, if you looked at my summertime Grand Canyon blogs. And if so, you know how gorgeous and adorable and fun they are and you know that I couldn’t resist getting them in front of my camera again when they came down to Tucson for a couple days!

St. Paul Intimate Wedding at Summit Manor | Destination Elopement Photographer

This wedding was so special to me. I knew Peter and Cassie only briefly in college, about 6 months, but they left a strong, positive impression on me forever. I haven’t seen them regularly since 2012, but they are still who I look to for an example of a healthy, loving relationship. And witnessing their wedding only reinforced my feelings about them.

Orange County Couples Session at 1000 Steps Beach | Southern California Elopement Photographer

When Savoy asked me to come out to California to photograph him and his boyfriend, Tyler, for their anniversary, I couldn’t drive out there fast enough! Being from the Midwest, I love a good road trip, and the fact that the coast is only 6-7 hours away now gives me the perfect excuse to take one.

2020 is OVER. Simultaneously the longest and shortest year of my entire life, and I suspect many of yours as well. A year with some looooooow lows but also some incredible highs.

Grand Canyon Surprise Proposal | Arizona Proposal Photographer

I love proposals so much. I’ve done a handful of them now and they are always perfect. It’s so much fun to make a sneaky plan with one partner and carry it out and watch the other partner be completely shocked and elated. And of course, I was BEYOND stoked to do this at the Grand Canyon of all places!! I am so thankful that Nate brought me back to this magical place to capture his proposal to Brittany.

Destination Chicago Elopement & Backyard Reception | Destination Elopement Photographer

This one is special to me. Karen is one of my best friends from college (and my little sister in our sorority!) and she and Kaleb got together their sophomore year. She is from Germany and they’ve had a long relationship with many periods of looooong distance, and other periods of sharing their homes and cultures with each other.
