Buckeye, Arizona


Julia and Nathan's love for not only each other but the Lord, was the true highlight to this day. As a Phoenix, Arizona wedding photographer, I have had the pleasure of photographing many weddings at various venues, but the Perkins wedding was truly something remarkable to capture. Their ability to embrace the day with open arms and be vulnerable with each other allowed them to wholeheartedly be in the moment during their wedding day.


I love how their wedding was carefully welded together by all of their most intimate family members and friends, each of them having a part in building and creating this special day.


Some of my favorite moments captured were the rain falling as the ceremony came to a close, the couple running off together under their umbrella, and the electric dance floor after the rain had settled for the night. I absolutely love how you can feel the emotions, both tears and laugher through these images.
