Elopements & Intimate Weddings
These two cuties reached out to me in April, hoping to have an elopement in the Southwest in July. Due to the weather out here at that time of year, our options were limited - based on multiple factors, I helped them decide on having a Bryce Canyon National Park elopement!
I am so excited to share this Tucson botanical gardens ceremony with you today! You may recall seeing these two cuties’ engagement session in May. We had a great time together then and an even better time celebrating their wedding!
This elopement was an absolute dream come true for me as a photographer AND rock climber. When I had my consult with these two and found out that they are avid climbers, I knew we could make some magic for their Rock Climbing elopement. Thankfully, they were super into the idea! (No actual climbing was involved, the couple rappelled and I was belayed by a dear friend. Climbing would have taken too long!)

Here are some notable things that happened to me in 2023…
…if I forget about those things for a moment and think only about what I experienced personally… it was a great year. My best business year to date, my best adventure year (10 national parks! among other adventures!), a year of seeing friends and family again and making new friends, and a year of discovering this new place that I live in and love.
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!
A proposal is such a special and unique moment in a relationship, and having that moment captured can help you remember all the little details for years to come. I LOOOOVE planning and photographing proposals and it’s safe to say I’m very good at it by now. ;) Here are a few tips to anyone planning on having their proposal photographed.

I’m so excited to share this double session of these two Arizona adventurers! Allison and Zack love Arizona and wanted their engagement photos to showcase an incredible part of the state. They were hoping to do their Grand Canyon engagement session in a couple different spots. So I suggested that, to maximize golden hour light, we do a sunset AND a sunrise session! Each at different spots that are respectively perfect for those times of day.
Engagement sessions are so much fun to shoot, and this Mount Lemmon proposal was no exception! I love the opportunity to be there to capture the beginning of a new and exciting stage of life, especially in beautiful Arizona!
I love when clients travel from other places and want to capture their time in the desert, like this Gates Pass session. Nicky and Gonzalo came all the way from Guatemala to visit family in Tucson, and they wanted some nice photos in the desert while they were here. Music to my ears!

“What can I say? Lucy is amaze. We had an engagement session with her a year before our wedding on the recommendation of a friend. We loved her chill vibe and the way she helped us feel more relaxed in front of the camera and still ourselves. She came back to Chicago again to photograph our wedding in June 2022. As an art director, I had a big vision of a vividly colored wedding day. She captured the colors and feel of the day so beautifully. She's great at capturing candid moments and moves around spaces without being intrusive. We've gotten so many compliments on the photos and everyone loved that they didn't seem forced or posed. If you want beautiful, documentary-style photos you can't go wrong with Lucy!”
