Okay, everyone wins. I won’t try and shoot my own wedding photos. Unless some of you do think it’s a good idea….no one? Okay, I give up. As much as I’d love to shoot my own wedding photos, I know it’s absurd and I’d rather focus on my lovely soon to be wife, Katie. (whose birthday it is today!)

However, that didn’t stop me from trying my own engagement photos! Katie and I went up to Flagstaff to check out our wedding site and I had the idea of trying to surprise her with some engagement photos while we were up there. She also had the same idea! I knew I was marrying a smart lady. Armed with a tripod, a remote, some thick jackets, and mittens (turns out snow is cold) we did a little mini session. Here are just a few of our favorites from that day. 

My Equipment:

Shot with: Canon 5D Mk III

Lenses used: Canon 50mm 1.4

Aaron Kes (me!) is a Phoenix wedding photographer who also shoots weddings in Scottsdale, Tempe, the United States of America, and Earth. Seriously, I love to travel to shoot and do so often. Let’s have some fun!
