Brittany and Chris' Engagement Session, Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix, AZ

Brittany and Chris, who will be married out of state this fall, wanted their Engagement Session to be in a natural Arizona locale with a organic feel to it. Sedona was a bit too far given time constraints, so the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix seemed like a perfect choice. We had photographed weddings there before, but never an Engagement Session, and were excited to give it a shot without the schedule of a busy wedding day. The late March weather, abundance of wildflowers, and textural elements of cactus and even Dale Chihuly glass sculptures provided the perfect backdrop for these two soon-to-be-marrieds. We wish them the best!

Kristie and Tim's Wedding, Regale! at DC Ranch, Scottsdale, AZ

Kristie and Tim chose a beautiful March day to exchange vows at Regale's Plaza on Market Street. Some fun and stylish trends they brought to their wedding included gray suits for the guys (rather than the standard black tux), navy dresses for the ladies, a wedding "fingerprint" tree (an awesome alternative to the guestbook!), and ornate, potted succulents for the guests to take home.

Congrats to the O'Connors as they start their family together!
