Marissa and Stephen! Two adorable humans from the Bay Area who came down to the Grand Canyon for a quick winter vacation. I’m afraid they thought it might be warmer at the Grand Canyon, but thankfully I was able to warn them before their trip that it would NOT be very warm at all. Doesn’t matter, though!! We still had a lot of fun frolicking around the South Rim and enjoyed a pretty stunning sunset.

Davis and Akta are from my beloved, the greatest city in the world, Chicago. They came out to Tucson for a quick New Year’s getaway. (They actually stayed at the same hotel as Tony & Laura - apparently the Ritz is well worth staying at!!) Davis planned to propose on January 2 and he wanted to do so in a beautiful, desert-y, as-secluded-as-possible spot. I was, of course, totally on board. :D

Back at it at the Big Hole! Otherwise known as… the Grand Canyon. :) I loved this one because, being at the end of December, it was my first time seeing the Grand Canyon covered in snow! It was obviously gorgeous before, but this added a whole new element. Thank goodness for Rachael and Joe’s New Year’s trip and Joe being a romantic and proposing near the holiday! :D

Melissa and Jeff were absolutely perfect clients in every sense of the word. After having their wedding plans ruined multiple times by COVID, they just said "screw it" and decided to elope in the desert with a few close friends. They trusted me completely to find them a good spot and recommend the time of day. They quoted Ron Swanson and Michael Scott to each other in their (beautiful, incredible, tear-jerking) personal vows.

Tony and Laura came out to Tucson from Indiana for a little winter getaway in mid-December. (Being from Chicago, I cannot blame them for wanting to escape that weather for our gorgeous Arizona winters!) Tony reached out to me about having his proposal to Laura photographed and I was obviously so down!

This elopement ceremony in Catalina State Park was just the sweetest. ❤ As was the story behind it. Penny and Steve knew each other in school, but lost touch over the years and both got married and had their own families. A few years ago, Penny’s husband passed away and she didn’t think she’d find love again. But the universe had other plans.

Ahhh Arizona… it’s no secret how beautiful this place is. But when planning something in the outdoors here, one needs to remember that it can also be pretty harsh. From weather extremes to unfriendly wildlife to the pokey prickly plants. When planning your Arizona elopement, you have to take these things into account and plan accordingly!

You may have seen these two before, if you looked at my summertime Grand Canyon blogs. And if so, you know how gorgeous and adorable and fun they are and you know that I couldn’t resist getting them in front of my camera again when they came down to Tucson for a couple days!
