“That Arizona sky burning in your eyes 
You look at me and, babe, I wanna catch on fire”
-Always Remember Us This Way / Lady Gaga


When you tend to reach the last few weddings of the year, each one tends to become a bit more bittersweet as you look back on starting at the beginning of the year and realize it’s coming to a close. Sometimes you just have one of those great years that you just don’t want to end.
There were so many amazing love stories that I was grateful to have documented.

Katie & Tyler’s wedding was one of those stories.
A spur of the moment decision to just head south and essentially elope,
but also throw a huge party with their closest family & friends. PLUS, who could say no to warmer weather?
(As I write this it’s maybe 2 degrees)

…And of course we had to make a stop at In-N-Out Burger at the end of the night, because why not?

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I did documenting them.
