Natalie + Ryan // Phoenician Wedding // Scottsdale, AZ

Natalie and Ryan tied the knot in a simple, loving, and private courthouse ceremony on a Friday afternoon. They later celebrated their marriage with friends and family at the gorgeous Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. There was a hint of old Hollywood, lots of glamour, and so much love that night. Natalie is the essence of poise and beauty. Ryan has such calmness and grace about him. The two of them together is something wonderful to witness. A force to behold. I felt very lucky to have been there on that magic evening to share in the love and happiness. 

Hanna + Andrew // Scottsdale Wedding // Shemar Arts Center

It's been a few months since Hanna & Andrew's beautiful morning wedding and brunch reception. Looking back through the photos to create this blog post, all the emotions of that day came flooding back. I may have even got a little teary eyed. The warmth and amount of love this couple has spills out onto everyone around them. You can feel it in their images. It was a truly beautiful and heartwarming day. 

Big shout outs to Shemer Arts Center for once again being a spectacularly gorgeous venue, to The Rustic Prickly Pear for the incredibly beautiful decor, and to my tremendously talented second shooter, Courtney of Inloveness Photography. THANK YOU! 

 

 

Angela's Bridal Shower // MonOrchid Downtown Phoenix

There was laughter. There was lace. There were tiny teacups and magic and glitter. It was a beautiful, intimate bridal shower for a lovely bride-to-be. Held at the MonOrchid gallery space, Angela's family and friends celebrated in style with lots of love and a few very pretty cocktails. 



Kim + Devin // Boyce Thompson Arboretum Engagement

Where to begin with this mega-gorgeous duo? I was stoked to photograph these two with Boyce Thompson Arboretum as our stunning backdrop. It fit so beautifully with their classic, clean attire. Kim chose a stunning tulle Anthropologie skirt and Devin looked sharp in his bowtie and suspenders. Come on, who doesn't love that combo?! Every gorgeous detail was given lots of thought. The morning light was super dreamy. Her tulle skirt and that low morning light were a match made in heaven. We wanted a simple vibe for the day; a focus on the beauty of the location and their rad love for one another.  They brought their adorable kiddos along because family is everything and we can't document their love without them. I could have spent all day with this family. We had fun. We laughed, danced to Macklemore, and enjoyed the beautiful morning. 

Victoria + Jesse // Flagstaff Wedding

When I first met with Victoria and Jesse for coffee over a year ago, I knew instantly that we all could create some magic together...and I don't think I was wrong! They are so kind, down to earth, and so in love. Their Flagstaff wedding was a true reflection of the two of them - full of love and oh so sweet. The ceremony was held at the lovely Nordic Center. The reception was like time traveling back to the coolest party ever at the beautiful, historic Hotel Weatherford. Here's to a lifetime of love, happiness, and laughs. Cheers to you both!
