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.

From the moment we booked Good Eye Photography, Ricky and his team were a dream to work with. Their communication was efficient, personable, and understanding throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was impeccable, with a level of detail that was truly unmatched. On the day of our wedding, Ricky made sure we stayed on our photo timeline even with some last-minute location changes, and he also helped everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera by giving great direction. We are over the moon with the final photos, which capture all the special moments of our day in a way that feels timeless and elegant. We cannot recommend Good Eye Photography highly enough to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated photography team to bring their wedding vision to life.

In 2021 I quit my day job to pursue my long time love of wedding photography full time... and it's extremely safe to say I have no regrets! I've met the most incredible people through this job, and it fills me up knowing I can give what feels like the ultimate creative gift. I come from a small Illinois town with a large extended family and a circle lifelong friends who might as well be blood. My community, the people I love, and the little things that bond us together mean everything to me. Let me help you celebrate you and yours!

Andrea was one of the photographers recommended by our venue (Venue at the Grove) and we couldn’t be happier that we went with her. We knew we were in good hands at our engagement shoot, where she made us feel comfortable and was so fun to work with. I was so happy to see her on my wedding day because it felt like having another friend there with us on our day! Our photos (engagement and wedding) turned out beautiful and are the perfect way to look back on and remember our wedding.

Nelson Cinematic

  • Photojournalistic style

Whether you are throwing a massive get together with all of your friends and family, or putting together a smaller, more intimate wedding day, no day will come close in comparison. I have always loved capturing weddings in a documentary fashion. I don't do super posed photos but instead I like to capture moments as they happen. I don't lay out intricate patterns with bobbins, ribbon and invitations, but instead photograph the small details in their true and simplistic form.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first spoke with Elizabeth, we knew we were in good hands. She was prompt, understanding, and insightful throughout the entire process. She was creative and knowledgeable in her approach to our unusual wedding venue, capturing the day in an authentic and natural way. Elizabeth provided helpful prompts that put us at ease in front of the camera, as we are not natural photo people. She was also more than willing to try different ideas to make our photos unique and special. One thing that was really important to us was ensuring our guests felt included, so we asked Elizabeth to photograph all the couples at our small wedding. She expertly coordinated this, and our guests were thrilled to receive the special photos to take home. We are over the moon with the final results and highly recommend Nelson Cinematic to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience. We will forever cherish the memories that each picture holds.

Kirstin joined in about two years ago, and has quickly become just as skilled in weddings. We have shot over 200 weddings and enjoy every minute of every one.

Zack and Kirsten were absolutely amazing to work with. From the first time I reached out, they scheduled a call to speak personally with me, rather than just email or text. They communicated well and worked with us on what we wanted to see in our wedding photos. They are more "fly-on-the-wall" style and were so relaxed and easy going the day of, we barely noticed they were there most of the time. I am so excited to see our pictures! We also chose videography as part of our package and Jacob was amazing as well! He had great ideas of different ways to film details, photos, dancing etc. I would highly recommend Path & Pines to everyone!

Hi! My name is Nikholas, I am a wedding and special event photographer based in Arizona. My photography journey started about 8 years ago when I got my first camera as a gift, slowly evolving from a hobby into a passion that I pursue every day. Throughout my journey, I've always felt most drawn to working with people and documenting their emotions. We all live very unique and special lives and being able to capture and share those moments that are so real, so full of pure feeling is...amazing. The best photos are felt, not seen.

Nikholas has always had a very keen eye for photography, I would know because he’s shown me all his pictures over the years and every time I see them I gasp in awe. If I had to recommend a wedding photographer it would 100% be Nikholas and nobody else.

Sara Bishop Photography

Your wedding is a reflection of your individuality, and it deserves to be as distinctive as you are. Let us create art from your wedding day that is extraordinary and uniquely yours. We specialize in vibrant, contemporary, and dynamic photography for couples who boldly embrace their authenticity and are ready to celebrate in style. Our approach is centered around you and your relationship. We curate a bespoke experience that is dedicated to originality. Our natural posing technique emphasizes movement and genuine emotions, ensuring that the authenticity of your wedding day is beautifully present in every photograph.

Working with Sara Bishop for my late-September wedding in Scottsdale was an absolute dream. I was initially drawn to Sara’s fun and funky aesthetic and her ability to capture candid, genuine emotions over stiff, posed photos. That was exactly what I wanted—and she delivered a million times over! Looking through my photos feels like is like reliving my wedding all over again. Sara managed to capture every special guest and moment in ways that showcased their personalities and the incredible vibe of our day. Every time I look at them, I find a new favorite—it’s going to be so hard to decide which ones to display because there are just so many amazing options! Beyond the photos, Sara was a joy to work with every step of the way. Before the wedding, she sent proactive emails asking for our family shot list and other photo requests, which put me at ease that nothing would be missed. On the day itself, she brought a detailed timeline and kept things moving quickly—it was a very hot day so we were hoping to get our outdoor photos done as quickly as possible and Sara made that happen. During the reception, Sara and her assistant blended seamlessly into the party, capturing all of the energy without being intrusive. Sara delivered our highlights promptly, and the full gallery arrived about six weeks later. Her website offers some great options for purchasing prints, which I can’t wait to take advantage of in the new year. If you’re looking for wedding photos that are full of fun, candor, and raw emotion, I cannot recommend Bish enough!

It’s not enough to simply take beautiful photos of people in epic scenery and bring forth their personalities. Nearly every photographer can do that these days. What I think matters most is being an mirror, a witness to people’s small and big moments in their lives and capturing those for them. I want to capture moments and photos that mean something to my clients throughout their lives- the photos they hang on their walls to bring them joy when they are going through a tough time and the photos that bring them comfort at the funerals of their loved ones.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had the opportunity to create floral designs for some of Alyssa's elopement clients. She is personable, has great communication, captures beautiful photos, and knows some very awesome locations for a unique Arizona elopement shoot. She is super sweet, and I highly recommend having Alyssa on your team!

When I’m not with my golden retriever, Rigley, (which is always, since I’m a work-from-home dog mom) adventuring to a new Arizona destination, finding my next favorite taco shop, or trying a new workout, you’ll probably find me in some pretty desert location third-wheeling with super-in-love couples and loving every second of capturing it!

I had a destination wedding so my go to on finding vendors was instagram. As soon as I stumbled on Briquelle’s page I just knew I wanted her take our photos! Her work is so beautiful and matched my aesthetic so well. We had never done any kind of professional photos together and she was great at telling us what to do, to get the best shots and not look awkward. She did our engagement and wedding photos and I’m so in love with all them! She also just started offering videography in her packages as well and we were so lucky to get in on it! It was so beautifully done and captured our day perfectly. Briquelle and her team are hands down the best!

I like to think of myself as a storyteller, using my photography to document your most special moments. I look forward to hearing all about yours!

Hey, I’m Annie! I’m a photographer based out of Tempe, Arizona, who loves to travel, drink coffee, and do yoga. I started my photography business when I was living in New Zealand in 2017. Photography is a way to capture a feeling—like how it feels to explore a new beach in NZ—windows down, surfboards strapped precariously to the top of my car, having the best time with friends. I love looking at a photo of a moment like that and instantly being transported back to that time. Now I get to capture and preserve memories for lovers in Arizona and beyond (and I think that’s pretty cool).

Annie is such good people! She is so sweet and pleasant and delivers stunning photography again and again on events I have been part of as a vendor. I would highly recommend booking Annie!
