Megan and Mike got married at the Arboretum at Flagstaff, one of my favorite places to photograph a Flagstaff wedding celebration. The Arboretum is a special place tucked away down a bumpy dirt road. Even if you live in Flagstaff it's kind of a destination wedding. Megan and Mike are outdoorsy folks, so the Arb was a fantastic wedding venue choice. Their wedding celebration was perfectly them - simple and down to earth - surrounded by friends and family.
Danielle and Adam had an Arizona Snowbowl wedding high up on Mt. Humphreys. Danielle began the day getting ready with friends and family in downtown Flagstaff before heading up the mountain to put on her wedding dress in the locker rooms at Snowbowl. Adam and his groomsmen had time for a card game before suiting up and then sang a little harmony in the bathroom to loosen up. And then it was time to get married.
Olivia and Monti traveled all the way from Dubai for their destination wedding at L'Auberge de Sedona. It was an intimate, creek side affair with family and close friends. After getting ready in rooms at opposite sides of the resort, the two chose to see each other for the first time when Olivia walked down the aisle. It was so beautiful.
Flagstaff is a great place to get married! Here is a list of some of my favorite venues. From historic, maybe even haunted, downtown hotels to mountain top lodges, upscale event centers to outdoor arboretums, there is a wedding ceremony and reception location for just about any style of celebration.
Planning a wedding day that is stress free and a magical, super rad, once in a lifetime celebration is totally possible. Seriously!
Rohan proposed to Rujuta last November on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon on a beautiful, crisp afternoon. Rohan and I had been in contact for at least a month. We coordinated our meeting spot and plan for photographing the moment he asked Rujuta to marry him. I love photographing once in a lifetime moments. Asking your "person" to marry you totally qualifies!
As 2018 gets rolling, I took some time to gather together some of my favorite images from last year. Some are greatest hits and some are B-sides that I really love. It's a pretty big collection of Arizona wedding images and it doesn't include close to everything I loved about photographing weddings with my clients in 2017.
I met Marissa and Dave at their Alma Mater, the University of Arizona for an engagement photo session. The two live in Los Angeles now but they drove back to Arizona to meet up. We had a great time visiting their old haunts and after the session ate burritos and drank margarita's. Pretty nice afternoon!
