Arizona Golden Desert Engagement Session

From high school to college and all the chapters in between, Natalie and Bailey’s love story grew. Now as we’re in the final months of wedding planning, I am taking you back to their stunning Arizona Golden Desert Engagement Session. From the moment I met Natalie on a phone call in early May 2023, I knew we clicked right away. The rest has been history. I have photographed her countless times for projects, and I could literally do it all day every day.

These two are getting married at the stunning Sanctuary at Camelback Mountain this fall with the wonderful ladies over at Your Jubilee. What better way to bring out the luxury desert vibe from their wedding venue than with tying in their Arizona golden desert engagement session. Everything I could ever want to encapsulate into an engagement session, they did. They followed my engagement style guide. Natalie had her hair and makeup done with LeBeige Beauty. Then they brought a celebratory champagane to pop at the end of their session with the most darling glasses.

I always try to make the best connections with my couples throughout the process, and it has been no exception with these two. Some of my brides I have stronger connections with, and Natalie was one of them. Our personalities just click together. She has been an amazing soul to lean on in some of my darker moments this year. She’s also just an overall joy to be around. Bailey has a love for this girl that I cannot describe. However I tried my best to in their Phoenix engagement photos. The way she smiles and laughs around him. The way his eyes light up when he looks at her. They have a special kind of love that was built on friendship first.

To say I am SO excited for their wedding this fall at the Sanctuary at Camelback Mountain is an understatement. I truly can’t wait to see the stunning blue hues and tones they use to bring their already exceptional venue space to life. Stay tuned this November!
