From way up in Canada, all the way down to warm and sunny Arizona, Mariah and Austin traveled down to beautiful Phoenix for their Arizona Destination Engagement Session. From their outfits, to their personalities, and their love story, I loved everything about these two. They wanted the true desert look to represent their Arizona wedding that will be happening in just a few short days at Desert View in Mesa, Arizona. So what better way to shoot their Arizona Destination Engagement Session than at one of my all time favorite engagement session locations? You can see more of them here!
These tow love birds started out as friends in high school. As the years went on, the feelings grew. From there a relationship blossomed and before they knew it, Austin was proposing to Mariah at the beautiful Kinsol Trestle. Let me tell you, Austin picked the most stunning oval solitaire engagement ring. I was drooling over it during their engagement session. I love watching these two together. The way Austin looks at Mariah with nothing but admiration, love and gentleness to the way that Mariah just melts when she’s in Austins arm because he feels safe and like home. There’s truly nothing more special than having a friend become a lover. You know them in and out. Before the love took place. Before other emotions got in the way. You knew that person to their core. To say I am obsessed with these two is an understatement.
Although I am cutting it REAL close to their wedding day to be posting their Arizona Destination Engagement Session, I couldn’t NOT post it. I feel so honored that they chose me to photograph their destination wedding here in Arizona in just a few short days. I know it is going to be nothing short of amazing. If it’s anything like them and their love story, it will be simply perfect. Stay tuned for their wedding day blog post at the beautiful Desert View!
