I’m so excited to share this romantic Payson mountainside engagement session! Sara + Ernesto wanted to get outta town and head somewhere outside of the valley for their engagement photos. We traveled up to the rim outside of Payson this past Spring and while the weather was crazy (45+ mph gusts of wind), it just made their session even more romantic and dreamy! Ernesto had just been exploring and camping in this part of Arizona and couldn’t have picked a prettier spot to showcase his love for Sara. I’ve wanted to photograph a sweet couple in this very green part of Arizona forever, so thank you both for helping me check a locale off of my Arizona bucket list!

This was my second engagement session photographing film, you can see the other session here! I’m so thankful for wonderful clients who let me explore a new medium and are patient while I load + meter film. These are Fuji400h developed by The Find Lab. I rated my film at 200 and they are scanned on a Frontier scanner, basic scans. Photographed with my Pentax645.

Sara + Ernesto brought along their adorable dachshund pups (they were both little hams that loved the camera)! I couldn’t wait to get home and start editing their session and also couldn’t wait for the film. The first four images below are film and the many other favorites below are all digital. Sara and Ernesto, it means the world to me that you chose me as your wedding photographer and I’m grateful that you two have an adventurous side, thank you for allowing me to capture your beautiful love in a stunning part of our state. I can’t wait for your 2019 Villa Siena wedding day!
