Downtown Phoenix is a place I’ve loved for a long time. It’s got character, art, and a pretty laid back vibe (especially for a big city). These are things Michelle and Mike also have in spades. Their wedding was chill and featured lots of friends, peace signs, and good times. Here are some of my […]

It takes a special kind of person to wake up early enough to be camera ready for a photo session at 5am. You’re in luck, Kaitlin and Zach are special people. I’m guessing they actually prefer the early morning more than most. They are always up to cool things. Hiking, fishing, building things, tandem bike […]

Erin and Bryan’s wedding at Royal Palms was a fun family affair. Remember those? This one took place shortly before life was changed for a long while (man I am behind on blogs). Bryan was already a “bonus dad” to Erin’s daughters, but this wedding sealed the deal. What a fun family it is too. […]

I’m sure I won’t offend anyone if I say…2020 can eat it. It wasn’t the year anyone had planned or wanted. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an extremely lucky person to have remained healthy and getting by. But it was a tough year on most people and devastating for so many others. For me, to […]

They say good things come to those who wait. If that’s the case, Jen and Jon are owed a lot of good. They are working on possibly their fourth date and second venue for their wedding. As have many couples, they rescheduled their wedding that was supposed to happen back in spring this year. As […]

My quarantine beard totally relates to your wedding. Bear with me here. This March, when life as we knew it here came grinding to a halt, I decided to let my beard grow wild. I’ve pretty much had facial hair of some kind since I’ve been able to drive a car. However, I’ve never let […]

You know you’re still behind on blogging when you are working on a couple’s wedding blog the same week you show up to photograph their newborn baby. But in a time that’s weird for everyone, it was simultaneously so good to see Emily and James and to meet Miles (and their pup Freddie) and relive […]

I will always remember Noelle and Chris’ wedding. When I first met with them, Noelle talked about her frustrations regarding representation for curvy brides and bodies of all kinds at weddings. As a bigger person myself, I feel like I really got that. I’ve always wanted everyone represented in my work. It can often feel […]

I love it when weddings are filled with personal touches. I’ve seen things like cake toppers made out of a couple’s animal avatars, a new family crest created from things the couple loves (including burritos!), and a checkered flag entrance to a reception for a racer. One of the touches for Andreana and Drew’s wedding […]

I love seeing how the ways of showing affection can vary from couple to couple. Some can be more tender. Some can be more playful. In the case of Hannah and James, it’s a big mix of both. The way they sweetly have fun being silly around each other would never get old to me. […]
