From the Hilton to a bar down the block. Running through the streets. Faith and Carsten’s downtown Phoenix hotel engagement session was any Scottsdale luxury wedding photographers dream. I had been DYING to do a shoot like theirs for SO long, so when they asked me if I’d be down to do flash style photos inside the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Phoenix, there was no way I was saying no. Now, more about these two!

These two met at a college party, where Faith was with one of her friends. She told her that she was going to take him home, and now the rest is history! These two love birds got engaged at the exact location where they will be getting married, Desert View. It overlooks the Superstition Mountains is an absolute beauty of an Arizona wedding venue. As we walked around for their Downtown Phoenix hotel engagement session, I got to know more about them, their love story, and then their wedding planning. It was such a fun time with them roaming around spots in downtown that I never even knew existed. From the steps of the old Phoenix City Hall to a cool bar called the Rose Garden! Everything about their Arizona engagement session was a dream.

I can’t wait for their wedding this May at the beautiful Desert View in Mesa, Arizona. It’s going to be filled with color. To celebrate these two is so easy and so fun. Now, keep an eye out for their wedding blog because it is going to give you all the wedding inspo that you never knew you needed!
