This summer has been a whirlwind for me. My own wedding, honeymoon, trips for shoots, teaching filmmaking summer camps, and, as always, photographing just about non-stop along the way. I have a bunch to share with you all and I am starting with these two cute kids. 

When it comes to my clients and the things that make them rock, there are two things that easily come to mind: 1. Couples who are passionate about what they love and what makes them unique. 2. Couples who are up for whatever it takes to get the goods when it comes to sweet photos. Samantha and Tyler check both boxes. They braved the heat earlier this summer for their engagement session out at Scottsdale Civic Center Park. It was right on the edge of when I stop doing sunset summer engagement sessions here in town…and it was hot. But they smiled all the way through and we got some great stuff. Next up, this winter we go to Orlando to shoot their dream wedding at a certain mouse’s resort home! I’m excited for the opportunity at my first theme park wedding. We’re going to have a ton of fun. 

Here are some of my favorite shots from their Scottsdale engagement session. 

My Equipment:

Shot with: Canon 5D Mk III

Lenses used: Canon 28mm 1.8, Canon 50mm 1.4, Canon 135 2.0L

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!
