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!

Living in the desert, it’s easy to get tired of the scenery. “Oh, another cactus,” you might think. (We have a lot of saguaros here, even in the middle of the Phoenix metropolitan area.) At the same time, we should remember not to take things for granted. The desert is home to plenty of plants, […]

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.

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 […]

Clouds have been covering all of Phoenix the last few days, pouring rain down on us for what feels like the first time in forever. Even cooler, though, I’ve seen people mention seeing hail and even snow here! There have to be a lot of people in Arizona who’ve never seen it before, not with […]

The temperatures have dropped, making it easier than ever for us to go outside and explore. That sense of adventure isn’t limited to just us, though–our latest couple, Katie and Ryan, really took it to heart! Their cowboy boots were the perfect idea for an excursion, not just showcasing their personalities, but keeping them ready […]

With the end of the year comes plenty of joy: whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the Winter Solstice, or any of the other wintertime holidays, there’s a lot to love. 2020 kind of sucked, but that’s not all it was. From beloved friends’ weddings to early-year vacations and more, there were some good things, […]

Even in a year like 2020, where things are a little weird for all of us, love still finds a way to thrive. Take Sarah and Dean, for example: they finally tied the knot! Their ceremony at Wedgewood Lindsay Grove was gorgeous. It started with the bridal party getting ready in separate groom’s and bride’s […]
