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!

Happy Sunday, everyone! The holidays are here, the weather is cold (well, as cold as it gets here in Phoenix), and it seems like the air is infused with good cheer.

They say that it’s bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony. Sometimes traditions are worthwhile, but other times they’re worth examining!

The stereotype of our generation is that we’re nothing without our phones, and honestly? Sometimes that’s true. We shot for the first time at the Arizona Salt River, and when we got there, we had a surprise: our phones had no reception. Considering how many people like to visit the river, we had no clue […]

Hey guys! The end of 2017 and beginning of 2018 have been a bit crazy for us–the holidays are hectic enough on their own, but throw in moving and TWO toddlers (who have birthdays around this time, too!), and you have a recipe for chaos. Potty training is tough! Even though we’re halfway through January, […]
