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!

This week at Wander Back, we’ve been giving a lot of thought to the idea of a bucket list. It sounds a little morbid, talking about the things we want to do before we die, right? If you think about it more, though, it actually gives you a list of concrete goals to work toward, […]

One of the most common pieces of love advice we’ve heard is that you only find love when you’re not looking for it. When someone’s single, that can be really disheartening: by not looking for love, hoping that it will come to you, doesn’t that mean you’re still looking? The core of it is solid, […]

If you live in the Phoenix area, you might know that our winters can be a little unpredictable–this year, we can barely even call it wintertime! On this day, though, we were lucky enough to have a day worthy of green grass, a blanket, and a picnic basket filled with goodies, not to mention the […]

For her engagement photos, Jessica picked a location unlike any we’ve shot yet: Fountain Hills. If you’re not aware of it, the center of the town has, as you might guess, a fountain. It’s one of the tallest in the world, and the power behind it compares to the strong, passionate love that Jessica shares […]

They say that rain on your wedding day brings good luck, and it certainly seemed like Eric and Lydia were destined for it. Rain fell on the Trinity Bible Church as friends and family filled the pews for their ceremony, only to come to a sudden, auspicious stop. The sun peeked out for a moment, […]

They say that love finds you when you least expect it, that life is full of surprises. To many people, that might sound cliche, but for Bob and Candice it’s nothing but true. 5 years ago, Candice showed up out of nowhere and swept him off his feet, and they’ve been together ever since. After […]

It’s hard for Carrie and her son Trey to find time together, especially for family photos. Between Carrie’s work as a barista and 11-year-old Trey’s school and extracurriculars, quite a bit of their time together is spent traveling around Gilbert, Arizona. When they finally had a moment to come meet us at the Riparian Preserve […]

We headed out to the tranquil landscape of Veteran’s Oasis Park to meet long time client Christel to shoot her family holiday photos. It was perfect weather for a family outing! The setting sun had cast a warming glow creating a suiting mood for this fun family. Mom and Dad, John, beamed with love and […]
