I love it when recent transplants to Arizona want to show off the amazing natural landscape we have here to their family members back home. When I was a young kid, we moved from Minnesota to Arizona, and I didn’t like the look of the desert for a long time. I was so used to […]

Nicky and Demerae currently live in New York, but have friends and family all over the states. Arizona is the place they met when Nicky was a teacher and Dem was a swim coach at ASU. What a way to show it off to the out of towners. One of the most unique places you […]

I’m learning that Phoenix weddings in the summer aren’t bad when you have amazing people involved. Heat can’t stop a couple who rock this hard. Mary and Sam (and wedding party) braved some high temps for their portraits out in the desert, but you wouldn’t know it looking at the smiles these two had all […]

Most of my shoots with couples are engagement sessions. However, I’ve recently been able to shoot a few couples sessions for people already married and it’s been really fun. In Rachel and Rob’s case they are new to the valley, haven’t had professional pictures of the two of them for many years, and are in […]

Adriana and Brian are in the event industry. They know how to find good people and rely on them. This is a huge reason I was honored to work with them on their wedding. They were amazingly chill throughout their big day and it was a blast. Plus, they brought Bear with them, possibly one […]

Marleene and Jake are newish to town and wanted an engagement session location to stun. Something to show off their new home. I hadn’t shot at the Salt River before, but I knew it would be the right spot for this. Boom. Mission accomplished. Not only did the location live up to the hype, but […]

When Cheryl first contacted me about doing an engagement session for her and Mark, she asked if it would be okay to incorporate their two Golden Retrievers. She had come the the right place. They’re probably just lucky I didn’t try to keep one of them. They are pretty adorable. With the help of a […]

From their loft on Roosevelt, to the Orpheum Theatre, to Civic Space Park, and finally Warehouse 215. All of these amazing spaces are a big part of the history of the downtown area and played a part in this epic Phoenix wedding. We even got to ride on a trolley! Quinn and Ryan’s wedding was a […]

Alisa and Eric love Thai food more than I do. And that’s saying a lot. Ask them and they’ll probably give you the rundown of all the best spots. Because of them, I’m on a quest to try the spicy eggplant. I plan to check it off before their upcoming wedding in downtown Phoenix later […]

When Ashley and Maurice mentioned to me they were thinking of doing their wedding at the Icehouse, I got excited. Not only have I wanted to shoot at this amazing space for a long time, but I knew even more than before that we were on the same page. We started over beers on a […]
