These two sweet loves chose to do their engagement session at one of the dreamiest locations in Arizona. The warm sunlight created the perfect glow on the open fields and vast mountain views. I could not believe how joyful these two were in each other’s arms. They simply played and ran through the empty fields as I captured the sweetest moments.

Recently, I spent a warm summer evening in the desert with these two sweet loves. Sarah + Matt were visiting family from New York and really wanted a perfect Arizona setting for their engagements. When we first arrived, our original spot was closed due to a local brush fire, so we decided to venture out and explore the surrounding areas. We stumbled across this gorgeous hidden gem covered in tall saguaros and lush greens. We danced around the desert until the sun dipped behind the mountains and had the absolute best time!!

When I was younger, my dad used to love to visit missions all over the world. He was so inspired by the beautiful architecture and the humbling feeling that overcame him while exploring the grounds. We spent a lot of time at the stunning Mission in San Juan Capistrano so naturally this place has always been near and dear to my heart.

When we we began planning for Jaylee + Michael's session I knew this location would be perfect. These two paired so beautifully together. I watched as she melted into his arms with ease and I was so inspired by the way they moved so naturally together. I am so honored to have been able to capture such sweet souls in love at such a meaningful place.

Nicole and her sweet fiance Brad traveled to Arizona to avoid the cold and snow in Connecticut for their engagements. They were serious troopers and opted for a sunrise session to catch the dreamiest light. We had the entire place to ourselves and spent the morning wandering around the desert. I cannot wait to photograph their wedding day!
