Not too many fathers can say that they were there the minute their daughter laid eyes on the man that would hopelessly sweep her off her feet and become her husband. But Katie’s dad was with her as they toured Iowa State University, deciding which school she would inevitably end up attending on a track and […]

When Jessey and John decided on a venue to exchange their vows, Gainey Ranch Golf Club was the perfect fit, not only because of it’s beautiful location and mountain views, but because John is a huge golfer (he went to college on a golf scholarship!) and so is his grandfather and Jessey’s father. The personal […]

Amelia and Faisal’s Blackstone Country Club wedding was an event to remember! After their amazing engagement session in Sedona, I knew that their wedding was going to be incredible. Not only were these two joining their lives together, but they were also bringing together their two cultures. With Amela originally from Serbia and Faisal from Afghanistan, […]

Julia and Matt’s wedding was incredible. The sun shone through the trees at The Farm at South Mountain, draping them in golden light as they shared an intimate moment, seeing each other before the ceremony. Matt has this amazing sense of humor that causes Julia to laugh such a beautiful and genuine laugh as soon as she’s […]

It was just any other May morning when Carson and Lexi took their dog hiking, little did she know it would be the best day she never saw coming but had dreamed of since she fell in love while the two attended the University of Arizona. Wearing her exercise clothes and sunglasses, she had no […]

I figured I’d kick off this season’s blogging efforts with my first wedding of the fall… even though it doesn’t feel like fall quite yet here in Phoenix, I think that this gorgeous El Chorro wedding was the perfect beginning to what’s going to be a great season of love! Aimee & Erik’s peach and patina […]

After hearing how Faisal proposed to Amela, I knew this man loved her more than words could even express. Their love story is one of patience, creativity, generosity and overwhelming love, I think my jaw dropped by the end of hearing it. Faisal started planning his proposal to Amela a year after they met, two […]

Sheila and Alex were set up from the start. I mean literally! Their mutual friend, Ari, had been wanting the two to date each other for a long time. Ari invited both Sheila and Alex over “to just catch up” – without telling the other person. Both Sheila and Alex were surprised to meet each […]
