Desert Engagements in the Saguaro National Park || Tucson, AZ

Something I always notice when I visit a new place is the landscape’s colors. In Florida all the trees are a deep green and our waters are an emerald green. Well, I cannot get over how gorgeous the dusty greens and even purples of the desert are! The cacti were a lot taller than I expected them to be and the hazy mountains in the distance made my heart happy. I attended this StyledYou workshop in Phoenix, AZ a while ago and they took us to the Saguaro National Park outside of Tucson, AZ for a couples session with Delia + Dylan as our models.

One of the challenges of doing a workshop is working with multiple photographers, but it’s a really fun challenge. I get to experience how other people direct couples and it forces me to try new angles. After shooting at a few workshops, it’s something that I try to do at every session. I also experimented with some direct lighting and love how the photos turned out.

I really loved the outfits that Delia chose to wear. They were all from Free People, aka the great boho dress company ever! The style and colors fit the Saguaro Desert scenery so perfectly. Not only were these two incredibly beautiful, but just the sweetest nicest couple to be around. Most couples would get flustered having about 10-15 photographers telling them what to do, but these two were champs and had fun with it.

I cannot wait to come back here someday! If you’re looking for a wedding photographer to capture your adventurous engagement session in the Saguaro National Park desert in Tucson, AZ, let's talk! I love exploring nature and you can beat the tacos in Arizona. You may just get serenaded by a Mariachi band in a local restaurant like we were too.
