“To say just a few words about Dave: You won’t find a gentler soul than this guy. From engagement to reception, he’s there to snag the serious and the silly. He has a way of making the camera shy feel right at home, while his quirky anecdotes will keep the extroverts engaged. At our reception, Dave was our anchor. He navigates events with ease, coordinating with other vendors in ways we didn’t expect. I am forever grateful that we made the choice to work with Dave, and would recommend him with enthusiasm to anyone seeking a wedding photographer!”

Hang around a photographer long enough, and the phrase “rule of thirds” will probably come up. The idea is to keep your subject away from the center of the frame to create more visual interest, and in a way, that’s how I approach all my photo sessions: keeping things ever so left of center. If you need a photographer who can capture the warmth and love (or kooky energy!) of your family, or who’s willing to climb or crawl on and over just about anything to capture that perfect shot on your wedding day, or who can create engagement photos that show you being swept off your feet and into the blue sky above, I’m happy to oblige.

“Emily Novara Photography provided excellent communication through the entire engagement, wedding planning, and day-of process. Emily even provided a detailed day-of itinerary and revised it as needed as we got closer to the wedding. The quality of their work and overall experience was amazing. Emily is so friendly and we felt so comfortable from the minute we met her. She did an incredible job on the wedding day, arriving early and not only taking amazing photographs and poses, but also keeping us organized and on track the entire day, which was crucial with a party of 20 adults. Emily went above and beyond in every aspect of being our photographer for the wedding day, and I can't picture our wedding day without her.

We did an engagement photoshoot with her months before our wedding date and it was very helpful in getting to know each other and how we work together, made the wedding day so much smoother! It is very obvious she has lots of experience in the wedding industry and is very professional. She did a great job at coming up with different poses and some of her ideas became my favorite photos.

It's true what they say — when you know, you know. Something as special as that innate instinct to love and be loved by your person is art in itself. Keep the star-crossed feeling close with artfully directed storytelling photography designed to honor your love / your story / your wedding in all its authentic beauty. Let's hike a trail, drink cocktails on the roof, dance in a crowded street, let's capture your love for everything that it is. Let's do it all and make it as unforgettable as the moment you say, "I do!"

“My wedding was a little atypical, we planned the entire thing in less than two months, had a crowd of 30 family members present, and had EVERYONE take an hour car trip into the National Park for our ceremony. The photographer who would capture all our wonderful memories was by far the most important vendor to me, so Lexi was the first person I booked! And thank goodness I did because I couldn’t have picked a more wonderful person to handle the uniqueness of our celebration than her. Lexi dealt with one date change, two location changes, and much more as my husband and I went through the decision making process in our short timeline. Lexi handled it all flawlessly, and showed up ready to help make our day special even in the middle of her own pregnancy! She traveled from states away, and made the Indiana Jones-esque drive into the mountains, to go above and beyond to shoot for us. Not only that but she got our preview out in less than 24 hours from the close of our reception, lightning speed! She was so kind and helped us feel comfortable and natural for two people who have never taken professional photos before. I would recommend anyone to Lexi for their wedding/elopement!”

Hey there! My name is Maggie, and I am the Owner + Lead Photographer at Desert Luna Photography! I am 24 years old, and just had MY dream wedding myself! We had a small destination wedding in Arizona! I have taken photos with a camera since I was 10 years old - and have even won a few awards for one of my photos! I love the outdoors, chicken strips, being a plant momma, and creating magic through my lens! I am currently on year 5 of taking photos professionally, and on year 3 of being known as Desert Luna Photography!

“If you're looking for a photographer for engagement pictures, a wedding photographer, or a photographer for any other occasion - stop looking! My fiance and I were visiting friends in AZ shortly after our engagement and we booked Maggie for an engagement shoot at sunset while we were there. To say that we are are OBSESSED with our pictures is an understatement. Maggie was so knowledgeable about the lighting at that time of day and utilized the whole landscape to get great pictures with different backgrounds, not JUST different poses from us. We didn't stay in the same spot during the session as she continued to create new angles to adjust to as the sun continued to set. I felt comfortable asking "hey can we try this!?" and Maggie was more than willing to get excited with us about capturing the kind of picture we had in our mind. Maggie also gave us alot of direction on how to maybe tilt our head, or move a hand over a little bit, or recognized that the shot wasn't going to be great so she just scratched it and moved to the next idea. This was extra helpful to me because I didn't have to "guess how to model" and I appreciated that she made good use of her and our time. Maggie works quickly to get a variety of poses and landscapes, is willing to travel, and seems to genuinely love what she does. Her excitement and direction made it fun and exciting for us too! 10/10 for our experience with Maggie!”

We had originally booked her for our larger wedding that was postponed due to COVID-19 and she made the rebooking process so easy and reassured us during a very stressful time. We ended up moving forward with an intimate wedding on our original date and she was the first person we reached out to.

Hey hey! I'm Becca and I’m probably the most camera-shy person you’ll ever meet! I admit, becoming a photographer is an interesting choice for someone who isn’t good in front of the camera, but I believe this weakness is the exact reason why I’ve become a candid and authentic photographer. Since I would hate for anyone I work with to feel uncomfortable, I’ve perfected the art of making you forget all about the camera. You’ll get to know me on a personal level and working with me won’t feel like a business transaction – but rather like hanging out with a friend who happens to be really good at capturing you just the way you are.

“Rebecca was INCREDIBLE! My husband and I get very uncomfortable in front of the camera. Cue Rebecca, photography angel. We booked engagement and wedding photos with her and we are ridiculously happy with all of our photos; they are natural yet stunning AND you can tell we are having fun. Rebecca also was 100% down for anything when our wedding plans changed last minute and rolled with the punches all day on our wedding day (late flowers, late bridesmaids, you name it!) which helped keep me calm and stress free the whole day.

“Brianna is incredible. From start to finish, she was very quick to respond.

“There are so many photographer options it gets very confusing quickly. Book an appointment with Brianna and immediately she will understand your vision and put your mind at ease. She loves what she does, and that shines thought in the amazing photos she is able to capture. She gets pictures that I didn't realize I needed! Her entire team is full of great people who are kind, caring, and want you to get the best pictures possible. She responds quickly to requests and always delivers more than she promises.”

My passion is capturing the unique love stories of couples who are wildly in love and unafraid to be themselves. I love working with couples who find ways to incorporate their personalities into their wedding. Imaginative couples who are silly, free-spirited, kind, and playful. I aim for the dreamy, romantic, fairytale feeling from start to finish.

“My videography company has worked with Zoe several times over the past few years and each and every time is an absolute pleasure. Obviously, Zoe's work speaks for itself; it's beautiful and touching and some of the best we've seen. But the real treat that you may not anticipate is the working relationship with Zoe. She's extremely detailed but laid-back and accomodating. We've never had any scheduling issues when working together and if we did, I have no doubt that it would be resolved immediately. She's always been very cordial to our team, as well as other vendors, and will provide you an extremely smooth wedding day with no stress and plenty of smiles. We can't wait to work with her again and I know you'll have the same feeling if you make the wonderful choice to trust her with your most important memories. You will not regret it!”

I have been doing photography for 5 years. I recently took a break for a couple years to raise my babies. Im ready to get back into the hang of things, but I'm only opening up to one wedding a month. I don't want to overload myself getting back into the grove of things.

We are aspiring minimalists with a shopping problem. We're awkward so that you don't have to be. We cry when we laugh. We're terrible with words. We really want to be cool people who can paint a story in half a sentence, but that's not us. So we'll tell jokes, play games, and have a drink instead. Our love languages are: wine, tacos, coffee, wine, and sarcasm.

“Jess and Jenn were the absolute best photographers we could have chosen. Not only are they extremely talented and our pictures came out flawlessly, they are also two of the kindest souls! They know how to make you feel comfortable and at ease when getting professional photos can seem so awkward. We got our wedding pictures back at a record pace and we have gotten so many compliments on them. I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else, they were simply the best!”
