Our editor once had a friend that referred to her job as “a place comprised entirely of shredded lettuce.” It was a funny way of describing a workplace like many others, a quick-stop food service gig that keeps you busy and gives you the money to pay the bills. Most of us end up having […]

What comes to mind when we say these things? Top 8. Auto-playing music. Tom Anderson: everyone’s first friend. Ring any bells? We’re talking about MySpace! Nowadays it’s a largely unused platform, but back in the early 2000’s, it was bigger than Facebook, full of customized pages and plenty of networking. Nine years ago, Dean was […]

People sometimes tease others for taking photos of their food. “Just enjoy it!” they love to say, “It’s going to go cold!” We might be biased, seeing as we’re photographers and all, but we think that’s silly! Part of the fun of eating out is presentation, whether it’s a big ol’ pepper speared into a […]

Roses are red, Violets are blue, I’m actually really nervous… to ask to marry you. Okay, well, Ruth and Nathan didn’t get married quite that way. Close, though: Nathan proposed via a poem! Ruth thought what Nathan recited was a cute, romantic poem, but it didn’t click right away. Until it did. She said yes! […]

It’s a tale as old as time. It’s a song as old as rhyme. It’s also a bit of line dancing to country-western music. Enter Moriah and Kris. These two high school sweethearts have been together for six years! Kris proposed to Moriah in October 2018 just outside of Cinderella’s castle, using a gorgeous ring […]

If you look closely at our photo shoots, you might notice that Alli and I often shoot during transitional times of day. The sun’s never high in the sky; instead, we get those Arizona pinks and oranges streaking across the sky, casting pale desert light across everything. Sure, sunsets and sunrises here are gorgeous, but […]

Relationships are work. Being with someone is definitely easier when you’re in love with them, but life itself can be hard, and that makes relationships take work to maintain. It’s rewarding, and it strengthens the bond you share with your partner. After all, when you work hard for something, that makes success all the sweeter, […]

Oh, the modern romance. Girl gets on phone, girl signs sets up her acccount, girl meets guy, and then it’s history. Seriously, though. We know a lot of people roll their eyes at online dating, but it’s just like any other way to meet people: you roll the dice and hope you strike gold. In […]

South Mountain is a little piece of the desert right here in the Phoenix metropolis we call home. Separating the neighborhood of Ahwatukee from the greater city of Phoenix itself, it’s nothing but sprawling Arizona desert landscape, complete with cacti and the occasional coyote. It’s not a hard hike, but outdoorsmen use it quite often […]

We’ve been asked before what inspires us to be wedding photographers. It’s not the most traditional profession, after all, and it takes a certain sort of person to be able to get to know couples day in and day out to feel like part of the family. It’s pretty simple: love inspires us. Sure, there’s […]
