The impetus of so many of our trips around the country is Alex’s quest to watch a pro baseball game at every one of the 30 MLB stadiums. Surprisingly, he had never been to Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, despite it being relatively close to us here in California. But he had been to Scottsdale…
I’ve been to Arizona a couple of times, but this was my first visit to Saguaro National Park. We got lucky with some very comfortable weather and a stunning desert sunset. And the next day, as we drove from Tucson to Phoenix, we also got to visit a desert superbloom, as the springtime poppies had…
Springtime in Arizona! Alex and I decided to plan a little vacation to Arizona, primarily to check off another baseball stadium, but also to go visit Saguaro National Park. So our trip began in Tucson for the national park, and then we drove up to Phoenix and Scottsdale for the baseball portion of the tour….
The finale of Anna and Amy’s Arizona Adventures is here! And it’s Scottsdale, the city we actually stayed in all three nights. We kick it off with some explorations of Scottsdale on Thursday night. First, the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA). Here’s a James Turrell skyspace similar to the one you can find at…
If you’ve missed parts one and two of Anna and Amy’s Arizona Adventures you can start with those links and rejoin us here for part three: Sedona. We made a day trip from Scottsdale, squeezing in just two hikes and two meals before heading back. I would love to spend more time in this region….
If you missed part one of Amy and Anna’s Arizona Adventures, you can catch it here. This is part two: Phoenix! We flew in and out of Phoenix and explored the city a bit in the beginning and the end of our short trip. Since I had inadvertently begun a tour of various state capitols…
When my friend Amy and I decided to unite our shared sense of wanderlust in the form of a winter vacation, our main criteria were: scenic and not too wintry. And that’s how we found ourselves in Arizona! Apparently Frank Lloyd Wright’s doctor agreed about the mildness of winter in Arizona, because that’s what he…
I am so excited to have been published by Wedding Nouveau magazine for the second time! I love Wedding Nouveau and its focus on multicultural weddings, and they are a joy to work with. Evy and Joe are stunning across all three full spreads in The Anniversary Issue. Sneak a peek of their multicultural Mexican-Indian wedding…
Even in a digital age– perhaps especially in a digital age– it is still so important to have printed photographs. I absolutely love creating heirloom wedding albums for my couples. Below are just a few sample spreads from Evy & Joe‘s wedding album, which they created as a beautiful gift for Joe’s grandmother. Use the…
Over two months and ten weddings have elapsed since I took these photos in Arizona, but I am finally getting around to sharing these little film gems. I will admit, it’s taken a while for me to catch up to myself. Between the travel and the back to back weddings and the countless hours spent…
If you’ve already seen part one of this amazing wedding, you’re probably ready to jump into part two, so here goes! We kick it off with some portraits of the gorgeous couple at the Tubac Golf Resort in Arizona. After these quick portraits, Evy changed into her second wedding dress. A bit of backstory– her…
I awoke in the Korys’ beautiful home in Nogales, Arizona, to the backyard views that stretched across the hilly desert horizon. In the other wing of the house, Mrs. Kory was bustling around with preparations, getting ready for her daughter to come back from the salon. It was June 4th, a day that was already…
