Not many people are willing to wake up at 3am, get their hair and makeup done before dawn, drive to the location in the dark, and do a shoot in 28ºF weather. For many people, it’s not worth it. BEING COMFORTABLE is more important than avoiding the crowds, watching the sun rise, and gaining unforgettable […]

Sedona Elopement Elopements are an intimate experience. It’s about the union of two souls that are becoming one, and honestly nothing else. It doesn’t have to go exactly as planned, yet it all aligns perfect how it’s meant to be. Its personal, pure, and just really real.??  Tiffany and Travis, eloped in Sedona, Arizona on […]
