I had the opportunity to assist my friend and talented photographer Lori O’Toole Photography at Brandon and Theresa’s vintage chic wedding at Park Ave in downtown Tucson, Arizona. Here are some of my favorites from their day!

Sometimes the simplest, most intimate weddings are the best. This was definitely the case for Lynn and Jay’s wedding in the courtyard outside of their home nestled in the Catalina Mountains of Tucson, Arizona on one of the most perfect days in February. This sunset ceremony was all brought together with their coordinator Lindsay Bishop […]

Check out this adorable couple, so completely natural in front of the camera and head-over-heels in love. After they told me that they met in undergrad while they were studying at the University of Arizona, I knew photographing their engagement session close to the campus would be perfect! Beyond thrilled to capture your wedding in […]

I had the honor of photographing my sister-in-law’s senior pictures over Thanksgiving while we were visiting my husband’s family in Springfield, Illinois. We had so many fun backgrounds to work with, including an ivy wall and a bright red door. Every time I picture Angel, I still see her as the little 10-year-old that I […]

Fall leaves. Puppy love. And a beer picnic. They got engaged in January at her best friend’s cabin in New Mexico where they went hiking to an underground cave with a huge hole in the top where a waterfall froze into a 6ft tall icicle, which beneath, Doug asked her to be his forever. Words […]

Soft pastels. A secret garden theme. And the funniest groomsmen yet! It turned out to be a perfect fall day for this laid back wedding. We were blessed with the most yummy golden light during the couple’s portraits and I love how it made Meg’s red hair even more striking! After their Catholic wedding ceremony […]

Infinite shades of purple. Tears as his bride walks down the aisle. A joyous celebration of true love. Can’t get much better than this! These two met when they were in middle school and I love their advice, “People ask us all the time how we have managed to stay together for “so long” and […]

I knew when Sara contacted me saying she wanted fun, candid, lifestyle photography of her family this fall in Tucson, Arizona that we would be the perfect match! They moved to Tucson from the South about a year ago and really wanted to show off the beautiful scenery that Tucson has to offer, especially the […]

Converse shoes. Fun bridal party. Lots of tears. Getting married beneath an airplane. What could be better?! I loved their unique wedding idea of getting married at the Pima Air and Space Museum, especially because they both have family members who have served in the U.S. military. After shooting their engagement pictures in downtown Tucson […]

Natalie is one of the first people I knew in Tucson, our friendship dates back to when she moved up to Kansas City for a year or so. I was ecstatic when I found out we would be living in Tucson together after we moved here last year. Natalie and her husband, Travis, live on […]

Ever since I left Kansas City a year ago to start our new lives in Tucson, Arizona, I have been missing a very crucial part of what made my passion for photography and friendships thrive in the Midwest. Back home we had so many different photography groups, where we had a space to meet others […]

When Jack and Brittani told me that they would love to go on a hike for their engagement session, I couldn’t be more excited! We drove up to the top of Mount Lemmon, then hiked to get to one of their favorite paths and when Tucson was hitting just over 100 degrees, we were blessed […]

The wedding day began with Sylvia and her girls getting ready at their brand new house in Sahuarita. The beautiful wedding ceremony was held at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church… I just adore the way David looks at his bride as she’s walked down the aisle by her father. The reception was at […]
