Chris and Elizabeth | Scottsdale Engagement Session

Whatever this couple has, it is it people. It is the kind of movie-like love that makes you just want to applaud the main characters for finding each other, and at the same time seems so inevitable that they had to end up together! Chris and Liz got that comfy, I knew you forever and we just met kind of love and it was so clear as we headed out to the desert for their engagement session. They laughed, they kissed, shoot I didn't even need to tell them what to do half the time! This couple just fits and I am so happy for them both! Chris and Liz, your wedding day will be here before you know it, and I can't wait for the magic to continue!

"I first knew I was in love with Chris on a random Saturday afternoon. We had picked up my nephew from his baseball game in Chris' classic Chevelle. My nephew wanted Chris to go fast and do a burnout, I was not as excited about it. Chris looked over at me and said, "do you trust me?", I knew at that moment I trusted and loved him with my entire being. ​My heart had known for a long time that I loved him, but that afternoon my head finally caught up." - Liz
 "Chris is constantly making jokes! A time that stands out was when we were driving to New Mexico for Chris to pick up a car. I joined in on the drive to keep him company. I just remember him singing loudly to the radio, making up song lyrics and inserting my name into the most random songs. We laughed the entire car ride! He will do just about anything to make me laugh and I love that about him." - Liz

"The thing I love most about her is her laugh. She tolerates my corny jokes,  she gives me pitty laughs most of the time. Its not that the jokes are bad (I'm hilarious, I make myself laugh and not ashamed of it), she just seems to be picky about what gets a laugh. However on certain occasions she lets it all go, and the best part of it is once it gets to a certain point she laughs even harder because of how hard she's laughing. Sometimes I've legitimately been worried that she'll pass out from not being able to breathe. But hearing that genuine joy and happiness from her warms me up inside and reminds me just how much I love her....even if she can't appreciate all my jokes."- Chris
"I wanted to be sure she didn't see it coming, so I picked a day that would be the last one she'd think i would propose on, my birthday. I told her that I wanted to go to a nice dinner with both our families, she thought it was strange but suspected nothing. It was the most nerve wracking dinner I've ever had. My plan was after the main course, the waiter would drop off a card and a rose to "distract" her while I got down on one knee. I still remember the look of pure shock, confusion, joy and probably 10 other emotions on her face at that moment. For the first minute, she couldn't speak and was only capable of nodding yes, until finally she was able to form actual words. She kept saying "but its your birthday" to which I would reply "and I cant think of a better present for myself." - Chris
"Our first kiss was on the night I was celebrating my 24th birthday! It was the second time we had met but I just remember feeling so comfortable with him. It was like we had already been dating for awhile. I'm not sure who instigated it (there was alcohol involved) but after our first kiss,  I knew I only wanted to kiss him from that point on. ​The next day, my friends said they had never seen me like that with a guy, completely in our own world. They all joke that Chris was the one that finally melted my heart!" - Liz
... and then the sun came out for us mid-session!
"We were just getting ready to go to bed, I knew I had been wanting to say it for awhile but I was hesitant. I knew she felt the same way, but it still did not ease my mind. There was just that lingering "what if...." that no matter how much I told myself that wasn't going to happen, it wouldn't leave. I finally convinced myself to go for it and went in. I said the first two words, no turning back now. I finished the third word followed by what seemed like an eternal silence. Really it was only about  a second later that she replied "I love you too!" - Chris
Umm her ring tho!!!!
I CAN'T EVEN. 
They love each other so much and its adorable!
Thank you Liz and Chris! Can't wait for your big day!

Sean + Laura | Troon North Engagement Session


I met Laura and her mom Ann over a cup of coffee  in Tempe, and within just a few minutes we were all talking excitedly about Sean and Laura's wedding details like I had known them for years! We poured over photos of the ceremony site, imagining how Laura would look in her beautiful dress walking down the aisle. I don't know if I have ever been so comfortable so quickly! They just took me in and it wasn't long before I wanted to meet Sean too! I knew if he was marrying someone as sweet then he had to be a great guy too! And sure enough he is! I love this couple!

I asked Laura about how they got engaged and it is the sweetest story! Laura and Sean, I cannot wait for your wedding this fall! You two are so comfortable with each other and your love for the other is so beautiful and comes through so well! 

"This is my favorite story! I could not have imagined a more perfect proposal and weekend. After going to our favorite restaurant for dinner, Sean told me we had some friends in town and that they were staying at the new Westin (my favorite hotel) in downtown Cleveland.  So, we went to go meet them for a drink at the hotel but, little did I know, they were not in town. When we got to the hotel, we went up to “their” room except, when we got to the door, Sean looked at me with a huge smirk on his face.  He reached into his pocket, pulled out a hotel key and, when he opened the door, there were flowers and a ring box sitting there! He proposed right in the doorway and then insisted we go out immediately to celebrate! We went to a bar down the street and, when I walked in, both our families were all there waiting for us! Everyone had to come in from out of town!  Sean really did an amazing job planning the whole weekend!" - Laura




"Sean and I met in the fall of 2010 and began dating shortly after. For his 29th birthday the following March, we went to Chicago for the weekend together. During our stay in Chicago, I remember almost slipping and saying “I love you” so many times!  After that weekend, I wanted to spend every day with him and knew that we would end up together!" - Laura


"Some people might say we took things slow.  After he didn’t kiss me right away, it became a joke that he was waiting too long! I knew right away that he was a good guy and that I wanted to keep him around! He finally kissed me at his apartment after dinner one night.  To cap the night off, we had both fallen asleep on his couch watching a movie and when we woke up I went to leave and my car had been towed!  It was definitely a night I will never forget!" - Laura
