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!

Babies are hilarious, from the faces they make to the way they laugh, but there’s something truly special about watching them grow into fully-fledged human beings. You hear a lot about what makes parenting great, but it’s true! As quickly as they grow up, you want to include them in everything and get as many […]

With the Arizona heat finally starting to calm down, it’s a great time to get outside. Wide-open skies and desert scenery are gorgeous, after all! When Shellane and Michael reached out to us, we couldn’t wait for their photoshoot. After some brainstorming, we settled on a tried and true location: Papago Park, on the border […]

Love isn’t always easy. Even the strongest of couples faces hardship: it’s simply part of life. Without adversity, it’s harder to appreciate the happy parts of life.

Meeting your future spouse can happen in a million different ways. Sometimes you lock eyes across a room and know it’s meant to be.

Love doesn’t always come when you expect it. Sometimes you’re working hard, providing for yourself and learning to be who you are, only for love to come out of nowhere.

High school sweethearts. We see them on TV and in movies, the love stories that start early and last entire lifetimes. In reality, many of us don’t get something like that. But Cheyenne and Jacob? They’re the real deal. Jacob worked up the courage to ask Cheyenne to his junior prom, and well, to put […]

Sometimes, the saying is true: opposites really do attract. Even the most opposite of couples will have things in common, after all. That’s not always the case, though. Take Samantha and Kyle, for example. They have some relatively typical commonalities.  They both love the desert. (That’s why Sedona’s Bell Rock seemed like such an ideal […]

I don’t know about you guys, but when I was in college, every class had a few people that stood out to me. Some were talented classmates that I admired. Some were just fun to look at, whether they were cute or they had an interesting style. Some got on my nerves, even! Kristin was […]

Jackie and Grant had their engagement shoot at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum over in Superior. We think it was an amazing choice. We’ve been getting a lot of rain in the Phoenix area lately, but driving just a little bit east to the Arboretum brought us clearer skies, with a few puffy clouds and the […]
