Just a couple of weeks ago, I had one of the craziest, busiest weekends of my life. I went from Lake Havasu to Vegas to Milwaukee to Phoenix … all in 48 hours, just to photograph a wedding and this Desert Botanical Garden engagement session in Phoenix. I could hardly believe I made it through, but boy was it totally worth it. I freaking LOVE photographing couples in Phoenix and I am so glad to live in such a beautiful area.
I met up with Jared and Lauren in Phoenix at the Desert Botanical Garden, where we walked around the beautiful cactus gardens. I could hardly believe such a beautiful place exists, and I can’t wait to photograph more couples and families there. Afterward, we headed over to Camelback Mountain to photograph at the very early part of the Echo Canyon Trail for sunset. That is definitely NOT an easy trail past where we went, especially since Lauren was wearing heels. 😅 But you know what? Lauren was a freaking trooper in those heels and Jared was a champ for braving triple digits in long sleeved shirts!
I am photographing their Scottsdale wedding this time next year, and let me tell you: I AM SO EXCITED. These two just fit together like mac and cheese, and spending time with them is such a joy. Their wedding in Scottsdale is going to be so much fun, they have some awesome things planned and I am counting down the days until we get to hang out again!
Lauren’s hair and makeup was provided by Allie Shannon with Bella Bridal Beauty.
