Gabrielle and Luke’s Star Wars engagement session at the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert, Arizona was so much fun! These two are full of laughter, joy, and so much love for each other. You can feel how excited they are to get married—and it made the whole session light, happy, and full of energy. The preserve was glowing with that golden Arizona light, and it matched their radiant smiles perfectly.
This sweet couple met through mutual friends, and they hit it off right away over a shared love of movies and all things Star Wars. That love for Star Wars definitely showed up in their session—because yes, they brought their Star Wars helmets! It was such a fun and personal touch that made their shoot even more them. I love when couples bring pieces of their personality to a session, and Gabrielle and Luke totally nailed it.
We walked around the Riparian Preserve and found the dreamiest little spots for photos. From quiet paths surrounded by tall trees to wide open spaces with beautiful desert light, every photo captured their happy, radiant vibe. They were constantly laughing, sneaking little kisses, and just enjoying the moment together. It honestly felt like photographing two best friends who are completely in love.
If you’re dreaming of a fun and happy this Star Wars engagement session will give you all the inspiration. Gabrielle and Luke are proof that the best photos come when you’re just being yourself—and bringing your favorite fandom along for the ride doesn’t hurt either!
