Jo + Alli Photography Blog

We yearn to learn about each of our couples and adore sharing their photos and stories on our blog! Grab a soft blanket and some cocoa. Maybe a snack too. You might be here for a while!

Warmth. Joy. Love. Hello, love stories!

With the dreaded Arizona summer here, what better way is there to celebrate an engagement than beating the heat? That’s exactly what we did with today’s couple, Bre and Kirk! Payson gave us a break from the hot weather and was a gorgeous backdrop for their engagement shoot. Honestly, we were all a little worried […]

Whether you’re friends with someone or in a relationship, you’re going to develop inside jokes and have things that you do together. Sometimes it’s a meal that reminds you of each other or times gone by. Others, it’s an action you do, which brings us to today’s couple, Hunter and Ryan! Their mission during their […]

Sometimes, online dating can lead to an un-pho-gettable romance! Forgive us for the pun. We couldn’t help ourselves. See, today’s couple, Beth and Chris, love pho. (So do we!) A big bowl and a nice drink sounds like the perfect meal to them. When these two met on Bumble, they found they had a lot […]

Movies make love seem like a deep, dramatic idea, but if there’s anything we’ve learned from our couples, it’s that love look super different for everyone! For Nicole and Tony, it looks like a lot of dancing. Nicole used to be a dancer, for one. For another, these two actually met at a dance party! […]

Since we started working together, Alli and I have been able to meet so many different kinds of couples! Some of them were people we’ve known for years. Others were people we’ve met through our career. I like getting to know every person we work with… it’s one of the reasons I love doing what […]

We’ve said before that one of our favorite things about photography is getting to see our clients grow, from children becoming teens to families adding new members and even to couples tying the knot. Sometimes, we’re lucky enough to work with people we went to school with, like in the case of today’s couple: Jennifer […]

You know the saying about how dogs are man’s best friend? We think it’s pretty true. Dogs are full of love and loyalty. Watching them explore new places and experience new things is special (it’s funny how that overlaps with our kids, too, isn’t it?). Their Papago Park engagement shoot in Phoenix/Tempe wasn’t the first […]

December’s upon us, bringing with it plenty of cold weather. With Nikki and Nate, though? They were on fire during their engagement shoot, sharing plenty of sweet kisses and snug embraces that warmed us up just looking at them! Who needs herbal tea or hot cocoa when you’re with such a cute, loving couple? Wandering […]

It’s officially fall! The leaves may not change here in Phoenix, but we love it anyway–pumpkin spice lattes, apple cider, the works. Something else we fell in love with? Serena and Nick’s gorgeous engagement shoot at Phon D. Sutton near Fort McDowell. It was a few days before the official start of autumn, but in […]

You might not know, but when we start talking to couples about engagement shoots, not all of them know where they want to go. They might have ideas that help us narrow things down, but other times, it’s up to us to find the best location! Whether a couple wants help or knows exactly what […]
