Arizona has no shortage of incredible places for engagement photos. If you’re still deciding where to take your engagement photos, you might also enjoy my guide to the best Arizona wedding locations, where I break down some of my favorite landscapes across the state. Seriously, you could throw a dart at a map and probably […]

Arizona has a pretty iconic reputation. Most people picture towering saguaros, red rock cliffs, endless sunshine, and those classic desert landscapes you’ve probably seen all over Instagram. And they’re not wrong. But then there are places like Boojum Tree Hidden Gardens that completely flip that expectation on its head. The first time I walked through […]

Can we all agree that Halloween weddings are just ridiculously fun? If you’re the kind of couple who’d rather have candlelight than chandeliers, a witch officiating your ceremony instead of a stranger in a suit, and a wedding that has your guests saying, “Honestly…this is SO them,” then you’re in the right place. Halloween weddings […]

The drive to Pinetop feels like you’re slowly leaving Arizona behind. The saguaros disappear, the air gets crisper, and the road starts winding through pine trees instead of desert landscapes, and somewhere along the way, you catch yourself thinking… “Wait… we’re still in Arizona?” I absolutely love that about this part of the state.

Can I let you in on a little secret? Some of Arizona’s coolest places don’t reveal themselves immediately. You don’t pull into a perfectly paved parking lot.

I think one of the biggest misconceptions about Arizona wedding locations is that people assume they all look the same. They picture a cactus. Desert. Red rocks. Maybe a sunset. Don’t get me wrong… Arizona absolutely understood the assignment when it came to desert landscapes. But every time someone tells me they’re thinking about getting […]

I noticed something recently while helping couples with planning an elopement. The things couples spend the most time stressing about before their wedding day are almost never the things they’re talking about afterward. Nobody is texting me six months later saying, “Thank goodness we followed that wedding trend report.” Which feels like a relief because […]

There’s something about driving into Strawberry that makes everyone instinctively roll their windows down. Maybe it’s because you’ve spent the last few hours surrounded by desert, and suddenly everything changes. The pine trees get taller. The air gets cooler. The road winds a little more. Before long, you’re looking around wondering how you’re still in […]

Every single time I help a couple plan a wedding somewhere in Arizona, I have at least one moment where I stop and think: “Wait… how is this a real place?” That’s one of my favorite things about eloping in Arizona. Whether we’re standing among the red rocks in Sedona, watching the sunrise over the […]
