Wrigley Mansion Destination Engagement

All the way from Seattle, Washington, Gemma and John came to have their photos done for their Wrigley Mansion destination engagement session. Boy, did they NOT disappoint in the fashion category. Gemma sporting her beautiful Dolce and Gabbana shoes, accompanied by her Louis Vuitton purse While Johns Gucci loafers made an appearance. I am forever obsessed with their fashion. The way they truly showed up to show off for their Scottsdale engagement session.

I have known Gemma for awhile. She has followed along my journey as a Scottsdale wedding photographer since it began almost 10 years ago. She is also the sister of my sister-in-laws best friend. My husband even ran a dog rescue with her over 10 years ago as well. To say that Gemma is an amazing human would never be enough. The acts she does for her community as an attorney in Seattle is what some would consider that of a hero. She is truly one of the most kind individuals. Her and John will soon be blending their family, as he had 3 daughters. Gemma stepped into the motherhood roll and I’ve loved watching her journey. Now, to hear more about their wedding planning.

When Gemma and John got engaged in Paris in July 2024, she reached out immediately to chat with me and I was so honored! We got to talking during their Wrigley Mansion destination engagement session about their wedding day. What they wanted for it. How they envisioned it. They have planned to get married at the original Biltmore Estate in Ashville, North Carolina. What a dream to have a wedding there! They wanted timeless, yet old buildings to truly bring out artwork and architecture.

I am beyond thankful to these two for allowing me to capture this beautiful moment in their lives. I can’t wait to see how their wedding day unfolds. It will be nothing short of stunning with the luxuries that John and Gemma has worked hard for.
