Samantha and Hank’s Sassi Scottsdale wedding

Samantha and Hank are a perfect match. Both lovely people inside and out they met at the gym where Hank was Samantha’s personal trainer. Samantha and Hank were married at Sassi in north Scottsdale. The purple and lavender color palette was beautiful in the desert Italian villa setting. It is always a pleasure for me to be there to capture such a joyful day and I am so glad to have had the chance to get to know this beautiful couple. Congratulations!

Summer’s high school senior portraits- Scottsdale, Arizona

Summer was radiant for her high school senior portrait session as we walked around Scottsdale. Good luck at Arizona State University in the fall!

Becky and Evan’s Orange Tree Golf Club wedding- Scottsdale, Arizona

Team EvBeck filled their wedding day with personal details. Evan wore a top hat and tails, bouquets and centerpieces were all succulents, the flower girl threw ivy, they cut the cake with a sword and their first dance was a full rendition of “the dance” in Dirty Dancing (the best movie ever by the way). So full of fun and joy Becky and Evan skipped down the aisle together after being pronounced husband and wife. I wish Evan and Becky many years of laughter together.

Lisa and Tim’s Hotel Valley Ho engagement session- Scottsdale, Arizona

The Hotel Valley Ho with its classic mid-century modern design was the backdrop for Lisa and Tim’s engagement session ahead of their wedding next fall. It was fun to get to know Lisa and Tim’s goofy side as we explored the hotel grounds. After ending our shoot on the hotel’s rooftop I am even more excited about their wedding reception which will be up there with views of Camelback Mountain and the surrounding valley below.

Elizabeth and Mike’s Scottsdale engagement session

We started the engagement session at a park in Scottsdale so we could include Bella, Elizabeth and Mike’s fluffy white dog in the photos. The nearby ducks and geese were rather distracting but otherwise Bella was quite the angel. After dropping Bella back home Elizabeth, Mike and I headed out for some more photos and a lovely sunset. I am looking forward to their wedding this summer!
