Wedding on the Mogollon Rim in Strawberry, Arizona

Brian & Alana

This particular spot on the Mogollon Rim holds special significance to Brian and Alana as it was the exact location where they had their first-ever camping trip together. And what a spot it was! The views were absolutely stunning, and the weather was gloriously mild. It was a welcome change of pace from the ongoing heat in Phoenix.

Surrounded by just a few close friends and family, Brian & Alana’s wedding was filled with laughter, intimate moments, and lots of Frank, their sweet dog who was dressed to the nines. I loved seeing the joy and support these two families had – not only for Alana and Brian but for each other as well. That and the combination of the stunning beauty of this Mogollon Rim wedding made for a day I won’t forget.

Here are a few of my favorite moments of their wedding day.

Phoenix Wedding Photographer | Beautiful Desert Engagement Session | Cody & Amanda

With its rugged beauty and towering cacti, the Arizona desert was the perfect setting for Cody and Amanda’s engagement session. (The size of the saguaro cactus surprised me the most when I moved to Phoenix from the midwest. It is absolutely bonkers how tall they can grow)! After hiking amongst those majestic giants, we wrapped up the session at sunset on a small ridge overlooking a beautiful lake next to Cody’s other baby. : ) Congratulations Cody & Amanda! Can’t wait for your wedding!

Love this wedding at The Boulders Resort.

Phoenix Wedding Photographer | Surprise Marriage Proposal | The Boulders Resort

Hiding two families and a production team along a golf course that’s only dotted with desert plants isn’t as easy as you’d think. After several false sightings (leading to many panicked attempts to find the perfect hiding spot), everyone’s nerves finally evened out. Peeking around tree trunks and random cacti to see if Blair could pull off the surprise proposal of the year, all we could do was anxiously wait for the moment to happen. And what happened next was absolutely magical…..

Congratulations Blair & Brenna!
