Carissa and Michael are getting married! This beautiful couple has been together for close to ten years and will be tying the knot this fall. We met off woody mountain road on a beautiful evening for their forest engagement session. I especially enjoyed their willingness to dance for me. Congrats to Carissa & Michael!

Allison and Tim {Flagstaff Engagement Photography}

Love together, laugh together, live life together – that is what marriage is all about. After spending time with Allison and Tim I felt that they have figured those aspects out. During their Flagstaff engagement session they were so comfortable and loving with each other, naturals at showing their love to the camera. We started Allison and Tim's session at Aspen Corner, utilizing the snow and gorgeous aspen trees. The snow ended up being a little deeper than we anticipated but Allison and Tim made it through giggling and holding hands. We ended their engagement shoot at the base of the beautiful San Francisco Peaks. This couples love, the big clouds and snow capped mountains made for a perfect evening! Congratulations to Allison & Tim!

It's all in the details! {Wedding and Event Photography}

It’s all in the details! As a wedding and event photographer I love to see all the personal stylized details. At a wedding the decor should represent the personality of the couple and show off their love. The details at an event can set the tone for the theme of the evening!

Merry Go Round Rock Honeymoon {Sedona Photographer}

One of the most beautiful and remote photography locations in Sedona is Merry Go Round Rock. It is a perfect intimate destination for engagement, elopement and small weddings. The drive is a bumpy 40 minute drive up or down Schnebly hill road but totally worth it. The scenic views become even more magical at and around sunset! It’s never a bad day for a Sedona photographer at Merry Go Round Rock.

Craig & Jeff's Napa Valley Engagement Session

Day Two of Craig & Jeff's engagement session took us to one of our favorite places, WINE COUNTRY!  For many years I have been traveling to Northern California to visit friends and explore Sonoma and Napa's wine country.  I love the beauty of the region, the wide open spaces and of course the delicious wine. 

We started the day at Lake Hennessey, continued on to downtown St. Helena and ended the day in the middle of a Napa Valley vineyard.  Craig and Jeff were so relaxed during this second engagement session, you can tell this is their happy place!
