Arizona Wedding Photographer

Jen + Nick | Desert Botanical Engagement


Being able to capture our beautiful desert is becoming my signature style and I can’t tell you how much I love that. It shouldn’t be a surprise that I love the desert and the colors if produces. It’s always a treat when your clients feel the same way. Jen and Nick wanted to have the Desert Botanical to be their backdrop and it is always fun shooting here. If you have never just walked the grounds of this beautiful reserve, I definitely suggest it. During their session it started off a little cloudy but luckily towards the end of their session the sun gave us some kisses and it was stunning in their photographs.

For the photographers or photography lovers out there.. I was also able to shoot some expired black and white film in this engagement session. My grandfather, who was a photographer another lifetime ago recently gifted me with some amazing film stocks that are expired. Little tip for photographers, if you are ever given film that is expired, make sure you keep it in the freezer. Fortunately this Pan-X film was kept in a freezer since the late 1980s. Very fortunate to be able to give my clients some rare captures with this. At the time we had no idea if they would turn out, but my lab is amazing and we were able to get some great shots for Jen and Nick!

of being in the wedding business, I've learned how much of a gift this job has been. It has truly been one of the most consistent things in my life. After loss, divorce, being an autism mom and breakups; it has been the constant love that always gives my heart happiness. There is nothing more fulfilling than hearing from my couples how much their photos have meant to them and what joy it was to re-live their wedding day. It means so much to me to be able to do this for a living and give joy to so many people. So truly Thank You from the bottom of my heart. xoxo

Steph captured our wedding day in the most beautiful and thoughtful way. I was truly brought to tears when she sent us the teaser the day after the wedding. We will treasure her photos for the rest of our lives. She was always incredibly responsive throughout the process and we always had so much confidence in what she was doing. We didn’t do a first look and I was always very concerned about time on the wedding day and Steph did such an amazing job keeping everything moving so that we had plenty of time to get amazing photos together. We can’t wait to do another session with Steph in the future! I will hire her over and over again!!

We really enjoyed working with Steph. Our photos turned out beautifully and she has a fantastic eye for composition and a knack for finding genuine moments. She captured the essence of our day perfectly, making us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. We couldn’t be happier with the final results and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for their special day!

PAIGE & EThan

We wanted to create a vintage-inspired event, and we were immediately drawn to Steph’s docu-style aesthetic and use of film cameras. It was important that our photos didn’t feel stale and overly posed. In addition, her professionalism was a breath of fresh air. Steph was able to make the end product beautiful and tasteful. My father passed 2 weeks before the wedding, and her delicate approach to the imagery with my family will never be forgotten. 

"I mean it when I say that my wedding would not have been the success it was without Steph and her team.."

ANGELIQUE & JOSH

The pictures speak for themselves. I truly can’t recommend Steph enough for your engagement and wedding photos. She’s incredibly flexible and has the most amazing artistic eye. Some photographers are people who take pictures, but she’s a true artist with a great artistic vision.

She brought different types of cameras and wanted to capture the day creatively but still kept true to color and appearances of the day. I would hire her again 100 times over!

Aura captured the wonders of our day. Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the. 

"felt surrounded the allure
of grace every single second."
