This elopement ceremony in Catalina State Park was just the sweetest. ❤ As was the story behind it. Penny and Steve knew each other in school, but lost touch over the years and both got married and had their own families.

Read More2020 is OVER. Simultaneously the longest and shortest year of my entire life, and I suspect many of yours as well. A year with some looooooow lows but also some incredible highs.

That’s a lot, y’all, especially for the middle of the week. But they made me feel right at home and even let me drag them out to Picacho Peak for super fun couples session.

(Fun fact: in my opinion, all elopements are intimate weddings, but not all intimate weddings are elopements. Ya feel?)

Read MoreAs your intimate wedding or elopement photographer, I do a lot more than just take photos. There are a ton of things I do throughout the process, from the first email to the gallery delivery and beyond, in the attempt to make this as smooth and stress-free as possible for you.
