phoenix engagement photographers | paula+mark

Paula and Mark were high school sweethearts. Their paths took them away from each other, but now they get to be together. Mark proposed to Paula in Nebraska on an annual family trip to visit Paula’s grandparents who live there. Paula invited Mark to come because it is a very special place for her, and Mark wanted to make it as special as possible with family in focus. Their commitment to each other and family is inspiring. You can see their love for each other in the way they look at one another in their portraits we captured at the Desert Botanical Garden. We look forward to serving them on their wedding day in May 2016 at Gainey Ranch Golf Club.

scottsdale wedding photographers | rossa+rami

This beautiful couple met through a mutual friend in Louisiana where Rami was in his residency and Rossa in doctoral study. They hit it off and visited a Syrian festival in Houston together. Their love was providentially brought together and they continued their engagement even while many states away as Rami moved here to Phoenix and Rossa did her residency in Nebraska. Their wedding day came, and what a day it was! From Rami getting ready at his house in Glendale, Rossa getting ready at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale, their ceremony being held at St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church, more pictures and video done back at the Hyatt, and their reception at Gainey Ranch Golf Club, it was a very full day for this great couple. It was also the first day of the Monsoon season in Arizona, and the first big dust wall, also known as a Haboob, came through just before their reception at Gainey Ranch Golf Club. Rossa braved a good bit of wind in order for us to get some great photos and video of the two of them near sunset out on the golf course at Gainey. Oh, my, do their family and friends know how to party! From more traditional dances from Syria, dabke, where all the family and friends danced as a group, to American party anthems: they danced all night long! They even finished the evening with a very talented friend who brought his keyboard/synth and played Syrian-style songs to which many guests danced and sang. They are definitely worth celebrating!

scottsdale engagement photographers | melissa+steven

We became Melissa & Steven’s wedding photographers through Gainey Ranch Golf Club’s Gainey Vendor Experience. We got to meet the two of them at Starbucks on Tatum & Shea, and we couldn’t stop ourselves from laughing and enjoying a great connection with them. They are sincere people who obviously love each other and are a blast to be around. The best word to describe them? #totesadorbs

Venue: Scottsdale Civic Center Mall

cave creek engagement photographers | dayna+steve

Dayna & Steve came into the Life’s Story Studios’ family through Gainey Ranch Golf Club. They booked the Gainey Vendor Experience in which we are the photographers. We met the two of them at Paradise Bakery at Gainey Ranch and came to know them as an incredible couple. They are spunky and fun, always ready to be spontaneous. We had a blast doing their engagement session up in Cave Creek.
