Goodbye 2014

This year has been a crazy beautiful mess and it has kept us on our toes until the end! We went back to our roots as photographers and began shooting film again. That's right, good old fashioned paper and light. We could not have done it without the help of so many of our peers guiding us. And to our clients that trusted us as artists and adored film as much as we do, thank you. We have some exciting news to announce early 2015! We hope that you will continue to join us on this amazing journey called life!

We will leave you with one of our last images from 2014 of the inspiring Brushfire Photography.

Bridal Boudoir- Phoenix Film Photographers

Words cannot even express the joy I feel when I have the opportunity to work from my heart and do what I love. Bridal Boudoir is the embodiment of my inner artist...and I think I need to let her out more often. Thank you to all of the amazing vendors involved to make this shoot possible.

Love on Film in San Diego

I was really itching to photograph a couple on film, so why not create a shoot on vacation? I put out a call on Facebook and found these amazing love birds! We set out to photograph at the Sunset Cliffs in San Diego and it was a dream. There is something really romantic about playing "bride and groom" dress up with a couple. These two were just amazing! A few favorites.

She...

She sees the beauty in everything around her, holding close to her the things that make her soul sing.

The Kiss

That moment right before a kiss where the whole world goes silent and still...

yeah..that one.

Vanessa + Emilio - A Romantic Engagement

Nothing says a romantic engagement session like wondering through the Aspen trees to find the perfect picnic spot and taking some photos along the way....

Jamie + Gregg- An Arizona Elopement

I may have a new favorite thing to photograph thanks to this fabulous couple...Elopements! It was so intimate and personal and emotional. All the reasons I am a wedding photographer. This couple stole my heart and I promise they will steal yours. I can honestly say that Field and I usually know if a couple is REALLY in love.... Like no doubt, they are going to make it, kinda love. It is so important for us to photograph a love story like Jamie and Gregg's. I hope that when they look at these images 10 years from now, they will remember just how much they loved one another on this September day in Arizona and realize that the love they know now is greater than they ever imagined.

these are a couple film shots we took. :)

If you are a bride, considering doing an elopement in Arizona, you have to check out this romantic elopement and contact their vendors! They were absolutely amazing to work with. The ceremony and accommodations were with The Four Seasons at Troon North. Gorgeous, gorgeous location!!
