If there are pops of color, flower crowns, cactus and Jimmy Choo wedding shoes, then you know that THAT is my kind of wedding. Below you will find one of my favorite weddings this past spring.

Arizona is known for destination weddings. Lately I’ve been photographing a lot more bride and grooms that are visiting and planning their weddings in our beautiful state. Kelsey and Sam live in the windy city of Chicago; one of my all time favorite places! Go Cubs! They are lovers of cactus and mountains and if you know me, you will know I LOVE these types of weddings.  Kelsey and Sam hired local wedding planner Bloom & Blueprint, whom I have worked with several times in the last year.  I love fun, colorful weddings and even better having a wedding ceremony and reception that is both outdoors. If you like lots of color, beautiful people and boho make sure to check out their gorgeous Desert Botanical Garden Wedding!
