Scottsdale Wedding Photos – Christine and Zach

January 17, 2019 by Jennifer Sutton

In late December, we were given the amazing opportunity to capture Christine and Zach’s wedding at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort in Scottsdale, AZ.

Christine and Zach actually live in Chicago with their combined family of 5 children. The boys are hers, the girls are his, and now they’re one big blended family! It’s always so special when people from out of state contact us about wedding photography for a destination wedding or an elopement. Since Chicago this time of year is freezing, Christine and Zach were hoping to escape to the warmer climates of Scottsdale. So, they surprised their family and a small group of friends with plane tickets to bring them out to Scottsdale for the occasion. Unfortunately, the desert doesn’t always cooperate. The temperatures can drop when you least expect it! This Scottsdale wedding may not have been as warm as they expected, but we were so honored that they invited us to be a part of it. It was a brisk, beautiful sunny day, and it was such an awesome time.

California Engagement Photos- Jen and Xavier

October 11, 2016 by Jennifer Sutton

It’s finally here!! Jen and Javi are tying the knot this weekend, and they couldn’t be happier! When they talk about how they met and how it was God’s perfect timing. I think it’s no coincidence that he was looking out for them when he brought both Ryan, myself, AND this adorable couple, out to California the very same weekend!! So we met up in LaJolla and shot this engagement session together!

I have been able to expand my business out in California this year and have been booking sessions on the beach! It was the perfect place to meet up with this surfer couple! Jen is very athletic, but had never surfed. Javi was constantly in the water and passionate about surfing! Ever since then, they two of them have found a mutual love for the ocean and take as many opportunities as they can to go to California and they also surf right here in Arizona!

California Wedding – Dan and Christy

So, can I just tell you how happy I am for this super cute couple?!? Dan and Christy had their beautiful California dream wedding on Coronado Island, in front of all their family and friends! Many of us came over from Arizona, and from their hometown of San Diego, to relax at this chill California location! All the details came together beautifully, you can just tell when the bride and groom really care about their guests! All the details are covered for everyone to feel a part of their celebration!

Dan and Christy met through mutual friends, and Dan has been making Christy laugh every day since they met! You can tell they just adore one another and have each found a sense of deep love with one another! With the sunset glow of the beach to add to the glow of a perfect wedding day, the warmth of their love for each other and their family and friends shine though! These pictures make my heart light up, and I know that this day will be reflected on with happiness for a lifetime!

Engagement Session- Oak Creek, Sedona

I’m falling in love with Jessica and Daniel’s Sedona engagement session!

Apple orchards and Sedona red rock complemented this cute couple’s stylized session! You can tell Daniel just adores Jessica, those loving looks and sweet nuzzles, paint a true picture of their love together! It was a fun evening spent getting to know this two a little better and creating a story that is uniquely their own!

Wedding Photos at Papago Park

May 27, 2016 by Jennifer Sutton

I’m super excited to share these amazing images of Tess and Zach at Papago Park! When I first moved to Arizona, I missed all the green of home – I kept looking for places, as a photographer, that weren’t so “deserty”! I have learned to appreciate, and literally fall in love with the desert light and pastel colors – for wedding photography, it’s the ultimate! So soft and romantic, it also provides a minimally distracted background that automatically makes subjects pop and allows for interest too! But you know me, I can go on and on about photography LOL!

Zach and Tess were our models for this stylized shoot! They married on October 18th, 2014 in Kansas City, Missouri after meeting in the Army. Tess claims, while Zach was “super cute”, she wanted to be treated just like one of the boys – eventually he won her heart, and they married! They are in Arizona for military training, Zach is training to be a helicopter pilot, and because they never got the photos they wanted that reflected their unique love story, this stylized session allowed them to retell their day the way they wanted! I know many of us who got married a little further back, 20 years for me, would love to go back in time and redo our wedding photos. I may not fit in my dress anymore, but to have an album of Ryan and I, that reflects our personal story, and this gorgeous desert backdrop at Papago Park, would be a treasure!
