Kathryn and I hit it off immediately! We connected over our love for dogs (we both have rescues), succulents, and everything Tucson. Even though she grew up a Cali girl, she spent time visiting her grandma in Arizona and has had a love for the desert ever since. So I was all in when she shared her wedding vision with me! As an artist, Kathryn chose the perfect color palette to complement the desert, beautiful decorations to accent the rustic venue, and so many DIY details for guests to enjoy!

The week before the wedding, I met Daniel for the first time and instantly saw how much he adored Kathryn. They had been a couple for 8 years, were both giddy with excitement for the day and couldn't wait for it all to come together!

The monsoon rains came and went early on the day of the wedding and the sun popped out just before the ceremony! We were treated to a bit of rolling thunder and it started to sprinkle just after the newly married couples first kiss. The soft summer desert rain made for a breathtaking sky for the bride and groom portraits! Their day was a dream to photograph and the love and laughter shared by everyone at the reception had me smiling all night.

Kathryn and Daniel - thank you for asking me to photograph your wedding. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!
XO
