Gelato, an open bar, and a full dance floor all night long… need I say more?!  Emily and Michael knocked it out of the park with their romantic desert wedding at Troon North Golf Club. Michael and Emily’s wedding was gorgeous, revolving around a fall color palette that included different shades of gray, gold, ivory […]

A sunny day in Scottsdale was the perfect setting for Luke & Maria’s elegant and classic wedding! It all started with a stunning, traditional ceremony at the Old Adobe Mission Church in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, followed by a reception full of love and laughter at the Farm South Mountain.  Each detail about Luke […]

Anyone who knows me, knows I try to keep it real. The good, bad and the ugly. So it occurred to me tonight to share something with those recently engaged along with my newlyweds, a little about my marriage, nine years in the making. For those of you who don’t know our story, Steve and […]

Julie and Bret’s wedding was simply a dream! How could I narrow all of the images from their gorgeous day down for one blog post? Well, I don’t think I did a great job of it, so standby for photo overload! After they brought the heat and intensity of their love to their engagement session, […]

I’m 36. Actually I turned 36 two days ago but who’s counting. For most people 36 is just a random age, a non-important birthday. But for me, this birthday was important, actually more important that I realized it would. See, last year as I turned 35, which is a somewhat a milestone of sorts, I […]

“Oh! She’s a feisty one!” These were the first words spoken about our baby girl as she entered the world. And since she was three months early and a whopping 2lbs 8oz, her loud cry and those five words were music to our ears. And eight years later, those words still ring true! This year […]

As I mentioned in the blog post about Jordan & Jeffrey’s engagement session, these two had me at hello! There’s people in this world who, after meeting them for only a few minutes, you just feel like you’ve known them your whole life. And that’s these two. Their hearts are so big and love of […]

Troon North Golf Club Wedding

Hi there, I’ve got a few questions for you today… I promise you can simply nod your head “yes” or “no!” Better yet, just answer in your head in case anyone is watching and will think you’re crazy. 1.) Are you a momma who feels overworked or overwhelmed at running a photography business? 2.) Is your to-do list […]

Troon North Golf Club Wedding

OPEN POST

If I’m completely honest, which I will be, I didn’t want to go. I had a million things on my to-do list, like responding to emails, editing images, finishing my new website, launching my first workshop. And that doesn’t include the everyday stuff like the never-ending piles of laundry, dishes (that won’t seem to do […]

There’s nothing more precious to me than the opportunity to witness and capture a couple so smitten with one another that when they’re in each other’s presence, it’s as if no one, not another single soul or heart, exists in the world. Sam and Andrew’s love was so captivating and such a reminder of what […]
