Arizona Wedding at Desert Botanical Gardens

Engagement Photos in the Arizona Desert & an Epic Wedding at the Desert Botanical Gardens

When Alex and Zack first reached out, they were planning a quick escape from Boston to soak up the beauty of Arizona’s desert landscapes. They wanted to commemorate their trip with stunning engagement photos, and I was thrilled to help bring their vision to life.

We met at sunrise in the breathtaking Superstition Mountains, a spot that truly showcases the magic of the Arizona desert. Despite a close call with a snake (it’s all part of the adventure!), we had an unforgettable morning capturing their love against the warm desert hues and rugged mountain backdrop.

Fast forward a bit, and I was beyond excited when Alex and Zack asked me to photograph their wedding day! Their celebration at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix was nothing short of spectacular. From the lush desert scenery to the perfect weather, every detail came together beautifully. The energy of their family, friends, and incredible vendors created a day filled with joy, love, and unforgettable moments.

Photographing Alex and Zack’s wedding was an absolute honor, and it reminded me why I love capturing these milestones for couples who share a deep appreciation for adventure and nature.

If you’re planning a desert engagement session or an Arizona wedding, I’d love to help you create stunning photos you’ll treasure forever. Whether it’s the Superstition Mountains, Sedona, or the Desert Botanical Garden, Arizona offers so many rad backdrops for your big day.

"Best photographer in the business!"

Cannot say enough great things about Jaysn and his work. We came to AZ from Boston to shoot our engagement photo session and he was super accommodating and captured our vision flawlessly. He walked us through everything, poses etc. and made the shoot a breeze. After being super impressed with his work on our engagement session we decided to book him for our wedding as well. Jaysn was very easy to contact and quick to respond to any questions we had leading up to our wedding. On the day of, he was super organized with his timeline (we even finished the shots with time to spare :)). Our families and friends continue complimenting how great Jaysn was. His work is truly UNBELIEVABLE- exactly what we were looking for.

"I seriously cannot recommend Jaysn enough."

He went above and beyond to help make our elopement special. He was responsive, flexible, and so talented. He was so patient and kind and we could not be more happy with our pictures. He truly made our day special. He worked with us to create a package that fit our family. He eased any stress that started to arise for me. I would choose Jaysn over again a million times. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who’s reliable and makes you feel comfortable, he’s your guy!

He was wonderful to work with for our wedding. He responded quickly, even during a busy wedding season, and captured amazing moments of our day. He listened to our ideas and made sure they all were possible. He made us feel comfortable for our couples portraits and made it fun even in the rain! We were hoping to get at least a few pictures we liked from our wedding day and we ended up LOVING SO many of them! We highly recommend him for any special moment, especially your wedding. Thanks for all your hard work Jaysn! We have pictures we will cherish for a lifetime.

He accommodated a last minute booking due to our wedding changing from Costa Rica to a US destination wedding. He was responsive and easy to work with. Day of the wedding he was much more then a photographer. He stepped in and help in several areas where my wedding coordinator failed at and also handled some other difficult vendors gracefully. He was so calm and easy going. I truly appreciate how much he did for us at our weddings and most importantly I love the forever memories he captured for us. We are were so lucky to get to work with Jaysn and I highly recommend him!

"Jaysn came through with everything we wanted."

The scenery, the photos, the captured moments .. just everything what I wanted ever in a photo shoot. He was so fun to work with and always made sure he for the shot wherever we were. He even worked with my indecisive self since I couldn’t decide on where we really wanted these pictures and to top it off that was changed extremely last minute. I can’t recommend him enough! If you love Jaysn’s profile I guarantee you will be satisfied with the outcome of your photos. I can’t thank him enough for taking these pictures for us!
