I had the absolute pleasure of capturing Ashley and Michael’s radiant engagement session at the beautiful Botanical Garden and Papago Park. These two were such a joy to work with, and their love for each other really shines through in every shot. We spent the day exploring the lush gardens and the stunning desert landscape of Papago Park, and it was nothing short of magical! The sun was setting just right, and the energy between them was perfect, creating such an intimate and exciting vibe.
Ashley and Michael’s story is one for the books! They met a while back and quickly became inseparable. Their connection is clear – from their warm smiles to the way they effortlessly laugh and joke together. One of the sweetest things about their relationship is how much they cherish their time with their dog, Darwin. They visit these locations often, making it all the more meaningful to capture their special moments. It was amazing to hear them talk about how Papago Park and the botanical gardens hold such great memories for them as a family.
What makes this radiant engagement session even more exciting is that their wedding day is fast approaching! Their wedding day will not only mark the day they say “I do” but also their 8-year dating anniversary. Their love story is truly inspiring, and you can feel their excitement and joy as they talk about their upcoming wedding. We had so much fun capturing these moments together, and it’s clear that their big day is going to be full of even more love, laughter, and memories.
Nothing makes me more excited than working with a couple that’s so genuinely in love and ready for the next chapter of their lives. Ashley and Michael’s radiant engagement session was such a blast, and I can’t wait to be part of their wedding day. I know their celebration will be nothing short of beautiful and full of joy. I’m so grateful to have been able to capture these moments for them!
