Destination Engagement Session
One of my favorite parts of this work is meeting couples where they are — sometimes literally. Destination engagement sessions take us outside of Arizona, into the cities and landscapes where couples have built their lives together. Each city brings its own light, its own rhythm, and its own kind of beauty.
What I love about traveling for engagement sessions is the way a familiar place looks different through the lens of a love story. These backdrops carry meaning because the couple chose them. And that meaning always shows up in the photographs.
Planning Your Engagement Session
An engagement session is a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day and to create images you can use for save-the-dates, your wedding website, or guest sign-in displays. I typically recommend scheduling your session about 4 to 6 months before the wedding. For Arizona desert sessions, the best months are November through March when temperatures are mild and the light is warm. Sessions in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and the surrounding desert typically start about 90 minutes before sunset to catch the golden hour. If you are planning a session, get in touch and we can talk about locations that work for you.
When my sweet couple Lindsay and Brandon asked me if I'd travel to Denver for their engagement session, there was no hesitation to my "Yes!" I love traveling to my couple's hometowns to capture their love story around the area they call home. They are originally from Chicago, but just recently moved to Denver so it was exciting exploring with them.nnnLindsay, Brandon, and I traveled to some of their favorite new spots around Denver: a sweet little macaroon bakery, a charming little floral shop, and of course stayed home cozied up in bed with their precious little rescue pup. He was the sweetest little thing! Dogs are my favorite.

I also seriously love their style! Lindsay had the most amazing outfits that were just to die for and their home decor was simple, modern, and perfectly their style.
nnBrandon is undeniably in love with Lindsay. He truly just adores her and it is the most charming thing ever. Their whole engagement session he couldn't stop staring at her, making her laugh, and putting the biggest smile on her face. They are adorable and I can not wait for their El Chorro fall wedding in November 2020 with Revel Wedding Co!
