Wedding Tips & Inspiration

Since I wasn’t going to be spending the whole day with Leah and Andrew, I wanted to be sure I knew what their priorities were for their wedding day. While I do everything that I can to grab a large variety of images from different aspects of the day to tell my couples’ stories, I […]

Hope and Buddy’s Saguaro Buttes wedding day was an absolute treat– and not just because it took place on Halloween (sorry, I had to go for the pun!). At their Gates Pass engagement session in late 2019, I heard all about their huge Italian and Greek families. “Be prepared,” they said, “there are a lot […]

Alaina and Michael’s Stillwell House wedding was full of energy. I’m not sure if either one of them went more than a few seconds at a time without laughing. The moment we started planning the wedding day together, they both just stressed that they wanted it to be fun. Mission complete! Bold colors. Practical jokes. […]

Taylor and James’ Kartchner Caverns wedding was full of contrasting color and lush greenery. After having to postpone, these two were beyond ready to celebrate with the family and friends that were able to attend.  As a wildlife biologist, incorporating nature on her wedding day was very important to Taylor.

The moment I started talking with Jennie about her and Dave’s wedding at the Stillwell House in Tucson, I could tell she really wanted every aspect to be unique and special to the two of them.

For those of you that have been following my blog for awhile, these two lovebirds might look a bit familiar (as well as this gorgeous estate nestled near the Catalina Foothills in Tucson). Back in the fall of 2020, I hosted an Engagement Session Giveaway on Facebook. I moved to Arizona in the summer of […]

Finding somewhere that’s lush and green can be pretty difficult to do in the desert. The majority of our rainfall comes over a brief time period– typically from June through September.  Southern Arizona has been fortunate to have an incredible monsoon season this year! The rain helps to keep the scorching temperatures somewhat at bay […]

Jenna and Noah wanted a simple wedding day, focusing on their commitment to each other and celebrating with their closest friends and family. The setting they chose was perfect: a cozy and intimate wedding at the Stillwell House in Tucson. The original forecast for their summer wedding was disheartening: rain clouds and thunderstorms. But, like […]

My heart went out to Ruth when she inquired with me about her summer Sierra Vista church wedding. Dakota is stationed overseas in Germany and planned the wedding with Ruth while they’re living apart. I know how I was when Mike was deployed and I couldn’t imagine adding wedding planning to all those emotions and […]
