Hi! I’m Desiree Bustos, a five time award winning, published Southern Arizona based photographer and I have 10 years experience. I love to capture the special moments in your life creating a forever memory for generations to look back on and enjoy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Desiree is so well rounded in her photography, she gets all of the traditional elegant shots but still captures personality, fun, and beauty. Going through my wedding photos is always a treat because she has an eye for the perfect shot and I can relive the emotion and joy I felt on my wedding day. Not to mention her skills always captured my “good side” and I feel so beautiful in all my photos. My family can be a bit of a headache to work with for big family photos, and I told Desiree that upfront and she did an amazing job wrangling everyone, giving direction, and taking stress off my shoulders.

We can’t wait to connect and help tell your love story! Let’s chat!

We chose to have Maria shoot our wedding because I really liked the "natural light" look of her photos and because of her affordable pricing. In our pre-wedding communication, Maria was such a pleasure to work with. She was always very responsive to texts and emails and was always very polite, professional, and personable. On the day of the wedding, she wasn't feeling well, but she powered through like a champ and took amazing photos! We love looking back through the photos and are excited to get them printed and chose one to hang in our home :)

As a photographer, I am constantly thinking of new ways to create art. Everywhere I go I am always studying light. It completely consumes my thinking, and I love it! I love using natural light . Every photo shoot is unique and I like to bring that uniqueness out every time. I want you to see how I see you! Moments pass by so quickly and cannot be replaced. Not only do I enjoy shooting as a photojournalist, I also love the look of a classic portrait. I feel a mix of traditional and non-traditional is the best way for me to capture a wedding. I want to work with people who hire me as an artist, who appreciate and trust my perspective.

We used John as our wedding photographer and he was excellent. We had an inexperienced wedding team but John definitely took the reigns and made our experience a comfortable and enjoyable one.

Since I was a little girl, I dreamt of my perfect day. And now, I get to capture everyone’s special day! I was born and raised in Austin, Texas, but moved around the country and around the world before settling down in Tucson, Arizona! I fell in love with love and being able to capture it in a photo, so I wanted to turn that passion into a business.

From the moment we first reached out to Felderhoff Fotography, their communication was fast, kind, and thorough. The quality of their work was incredible - the photos are absolutely beautiful and so much fun. On the day of the wedding, they arrived early and were extremely helpful in keeping us on schedule. They were very patient as we took photos, and we even caught them literally standing in a bush to get the perfect shot! Felderhoff Fotography was amazing to work with throughout the entire process leading up to and on the wedding day. We are thrilled with how our photos turned out and couldn't recommend them more highly.

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

So here's the tea... I'm a wise-cracking, extroverted Capricorn who excels at corralling your rowdy family for photos and charming Aunt Carol, the self-deemed professional iPad photographer. Ever since I was little, huddled on the couch with my five siblings rewatching The Lion King, I knew that I wanted to be a storyteller. Growing up in a creative household, I studied a wide range of arts before settling on filmmaking. I envisioned in my head that I would be the next Spielberg, but after shooting my first wedding in 2013 all my plans changed.

Maya was my wedding photographer at my wedding in Flagstaff, AZ at Aldea Wedding in the Woods and she was PHENOMENAL. Her energy is out of this world & you cannot help but smile and laugh around her. She quickly feels like family. Not only does she have the most insanely wonderful personality that brightens the room but her photos she took are STUNNING! She really has such an eye for capturing the perfect moments and the quality and colors are just perfect. Myself, my now husband, and friends and family were just in awe when I showed them. I just got married two days ago and the day after my wedding she sent me sneak peek photos and there were SO many - I couldn’t believe how fast the turnaround was. And there’s more photos to come! Everything was just stunning I can’t rave about her enough. You need to hire Maya!!!! Also my friends and family couldn’t stop talking about how fun she was. We love you Maya you are amazing!!!

️️️️️ Choosing Drzazga Photo for our wedding was hands down the BEST decision we made while planning. Since getting our gallery back, we are still getting compliments on how gorgeous and unique our photos turned out. When we met Carly during our engagement session we knew right away that she and Kasey would make us feel comfortable and would be the perfect pair to capture such an important day in our lives. We loved our engagement pictures so much we used them for everything (bridal shower invitations, wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations and thank you cards). I think we looked at them all 1,000 times. They captured our love for each other and excitement so perfectly. Our wedding gallery was like looking at pictures from a fairytale. Our getting ready pictures, portraits, ceremony and reception photos are beautiful. They captured gorgeous pictures of us, but also of our family and friends whom we shared such an important day with. I love thinking about how someday these pictures will be shared with our own children, grandchildren and family. Weeks after our wedding we decided to become puppy parents to an adorable Cavapoo named Teddy. The Drzazga’s have captured such sweet moments of our love story this year. We couldn’t think of a better way to end it than a trip to Cleveland in November for a holiday mini session at their studio, with of course the newest addition to our family, Teddy. Thank you Carly and Kasey for capturing all of the sweet moments of this amazing year. You are truly the best of the best. Love, The Rishers

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one.

Dani and I have known each other for 15 years, which is wild within itself. I’ve watched her photography journey for a long long time. Which is why the second we got engaged I KNEW we would hire her. We had an engagement shoot, as well as an “our day” vow shoot. Let me tell you, my husband and I are very much “guide us and we’ll follow” people. We’re indecisive, we’re go with the flow people, and that’s not always easy to work with. Dani from day one has guided us and taken care of EVERYTHING. From giving us options/ideas and brainstorming, to nailing the plans in place once we decided what we wanted to do. We had our vow day shoot in the Dolomites in Italy. Sebastian and I have never traveled like that together and Dani literally planned everything including what hike we were taking and timelined everything out. Which is exactly what we explained we needed and were looking for when working with her. She took everything we wanted and what we explained we wanted each experience to be like, and she nailed it. Nailed the photos. Nailed the locations. Nailed being an all around fantastic and easy person to work with. She also stayed in contact with us throughout the entire 2 years we have been planning together. She was our cheerleader, our planner, our listening ear, without a doubt I would recommend her to everyone and anyone. Not to mention these photos are to die for, and everyone is obsessed!

It was such a pleasure to have Grace as our photographer throughout this wedding journey. We had her shoot our engagement photos (which we loved!) in addition to our wedding. She was very communicative. From the very beginning, she was clear on pricing. She would always work with my schedule when setting up meetings to go over timelines. She even went over every photo with me after the engagement shoot to make sure that we’re all exactly what I was envisioning. On our wedding day she literally went above and beyond for us as well. She brought an assistant with her, as well as some great props and florals to be used in the photos. She did an amazing job sticking with my detailed timeline, getting photos at every location I wanted on property, and did a great job corralling our families during cocktail hour and giving firm and efficient directions so we could get the pictures quickly and they could get back to the fun. She is very knowledgeable about lighting and posing. Thank you so much Grace!

I have followed Heather since she started and it has been so amazing watching her grow! Her and her team work so well to make your day special and made my visions come to life. I’m so happy she was able to capture so many memories of those closest to me. These photos will hang on my wall and be passed down for generations. I included just a few because they are truly something special!

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Hi, I'm Ricky, owner and lead photographer. Wedding planning doesn't need to be stressful. And you don't have to do it alone. I GOT YOU! You want to enjoy your big day, so I make sure you have time for just the two of you alone and I try to get you back to your cocktail hour as soon as possible so you can enjoy your friends' company. More importantly, I promise through my mix of direction and “fly on the wall” style of photography, you will feel relaxed and excited in front of my lens. All I ask of my couples is to be open-minded, open-hearted, respectful, and unapologetically YOU!! Bottom line, be exactly who you are and I will do the rest.

We hired Ricky - Goodeye Photography - for both our engagement and wedding photos, and holy cow did he blow us away. Hiring him was easily the best decision we made. From start to finish, Ricky was an absolute joy to work with. His professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made every minute of planning and shooting a wonderful experience. I originally found Ricky on Instagram (@goodeye.photography) and after a quick scroll through his page, I instantly knew he was who we needed. Every photo in his portfolio had emotion and love in them. After finding his Instagram page, I reached out and he very quickly responded with all necessary information. He communicated clearly and quickly throughout this entire process which was very appreciated! I plan events professionally and half the time it’s like pulling teeth to even get a response from someone. Never once did Ricky have a delayed response or leave us with more questions than answers. My husband is what we’d call “camera shy” and was pretty anxious leading up to our engagement shoot as this was his first time getting professional photos done. And while Ricky always behaves in a very professional manner, he also is extremely personable, friendly, and frankly just straight up funny. We instantly connected with him and he made my husband feel so much more relaxed - heck, my husband even had FUN during the shoot which I didn’t think possible haha. It goes without saying that the engagement photos were absolutely stunning… each one better than the last. As the big day drew nearer, Ricky met with us regularly and assisted us in our agenda, timeline, and all these other small details you don’t even think about. On the day of our wedding, Ricky and his team went above and beyond to capture every moment. He has an incredible eye for detail and was able to capture the essence of our day beautifully. (Petition for him to change his name from Good Eye Photography to Incredible Eye Photography ;) After the ceremony was over and it was time for my new husband and I to sneak off during cocktail hour to take our photos, a lovely wedding guest managed to spill red wine all down my white dress. Before I could even flinch, Ricky immediately jumped in and said “Don’t worry, I can edit out these red stains in all the pictures.” One of the BEST parts of working with Ricky is also his quick turnaround time. I wanna say it was like 5 days after the wedding and Ricky had already turned around a handful of “sneak peak” photos - which is quite impressive considering how many other weddings he had booked after ours. And to no ones surprise - there wasn’t a hint of red wine stains in any of the pictures ) Our wedding photos are more than what we could have ever hoped for. I may be biased, but truly some of these pictures deserve to be hung in the Louvre. I cannot recommend Good Eye Photography enough (and on that note it’s worth mentioning that since our engagement photoshoot with Ricky, two of my other friends that were engaged have also hired him and his team for their weddings)! If you are looking for a talented and passionate photographer who will go the extra mile to make your special moments unforgettable and your planning process a breeze, then Ricky is the guy for you.

I am a firm believer that friendship comes from learning the weird and quirky about a person, and still wanting to hang out with them after. And, since you will literally spend more time with your photographer than most anyone else on your wedding day, I want to be friends. We NEED to be friends. Like, I’ll-probably-end-up-holding-your-dress-up-while-you-pee type friends. That’s practically BFF status. I’m not only in the business of capturing your epically rad and emotional moments, I am also in the business of making lasting friendships, both of which I’m really awesome at.

I have been obsessed with Dionnes Instagram since I found it. I watched her for years post amazing dreamy photos. I never imagined I would be lucky enough to have her take my engagement photos, and soon wedding. My fiancé and I met her through zoom and hit it off immediately. she is so kind, funny and silly. She was a blast to talk to and we could not wait to meet her in person. she made the whole process super easy and was quick to answer any questions we asked. She is one heck of a human and I cannot wait for our paths to cross again. she will absolutely be our forever photographer in all stages of life. she is not just our photographer but now lifelong friend. I HIGHLY recommend Dionne as your photographer.

Hey there! I’m Emma. I’m a sassy, sarcastic redhead and also a complete sap. To keep it short, I value relationships and experiences above nothing else (although some would say I have a serious West Elm and pizza addiction as well). I love reminiscing and think some of the best nights involve sharing a bottle of wine with old friends and laughing about all of our past adventures (while planning new ones too!). When I think about it, I know I was meant to be a wedding photographer - because I admire your relationship, understand how important this journey to marriage is for you two and understand the importance of documenting it.

Emma and her team are absolutely amazing. The planning, the day of, and our photos all turned out absolutely perfect. I will be recommending her again and again.
