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, […]

Anna and Jared kicked off 2022 by saying “I do” at the beautiful Saguaro Buttes Weddings and Event venue in Tucson. When they first inquired with me and I saw their wedding date, I was a bit worried. I wondered if the “cool” January temperatures might be a concern for them. Nope! For those of […]

I separately asked Gwen and Dan to describe themselves in just two words. They both had one adjective in common: adventurous. They planned their wedding in just 5 months while living out-of-state and buying a home together post-pandemic all at the same time. I’d say that’s pretty adventurous. After spending the day with both of […]

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. […]

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 […]
