Wedding Tips & Inspiration

Multiple locations. Fun outfit changes. Lots of variety. Sam definitely had a vision in mind when we first started talking about her and Dane’s Mt. Lemmon engagement session! The scenic byway through Mount Lemmon, AZ is absolutely beautiful. As the elevation within the Santa Catalina mountains changes, so does the landscape. This allows its visitors […]

Spending time outdoors is something that Breanna and Tony love to do together. Ensuring that Arizona’s iconic saguaros were featured was a top priority. They visited Tucson Mountain Park just a few days prior to their session. Originally, they had selected a different location in Tucson. But after spending a little bit of time there, […]

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. That same character and enthusiasm spilled over to planning their engagement session, too. Jennie and Dave told me that […]

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 […]

When Anna and Jared booked me for their January wedding at Saguaro Buttes, they already had a date in mind for their engagement session. They currently live in Minnesota (brrr!), but come to Tucson to visit Anna’s family as often as they can. Anna and Jared are super outdoorsy and love to hike, climb, and […]

I was so eager to hang out with these fellow Reese’s lovers in downtown Tucson. Alaina and Michael knew right away that they wanted an urban feel for their engagement session. I suggested a few spots for them to check out and Alaina replied asking if we could do their session at a Tucson brewery. […]

A few weeks ago I got a message from Josh, a coach at Crossfit Sierra Vista where Mike and I workout. Between a sinus infection that wasn’t wanting to go away and getting my second COVID vaccine, I hadn’t been to the gym for about 2 weeks. I thought to myself, “He’s calling to give […]

I felt like I had waited an eternity to finally hang out with Katie and Ethan for their downtown engagement session in Tucson. Katie stopped by to see me at my booth at a bridal show in Tucson way back in January 2020. We had already chatted, emailed back and forth, and she had booked […]

Megan and Colin knew right away where they wanted to have their engagement session in Tucson. They spend a lot of time outdoors together hiking and exploring new spots. They asked me if I’d be down for a short hike at one of their favorite spots. Bring it on! And guys… they totally brought it! I think I might want all of my sessions to take place mountainside!
