We spent the day surrounded by the rugged, majestic desert landscape that makes The Boulders such a unique and breathtaking venue. The resort’s striking rock formations and lush desert landscaping provided the perfect backdrop for capturing the romance and joy of the couple’s wedding.

The bride was absolutely radiant in a timeless wedding gown, beautifully contrasting the natural earthy tones of the boulders, while the groom looked sharp and classic. The day was filled with intimate moments, lively celebrations, and beautiful light that made every photo glow with warmth and authenticity.

About The Boulders Resort and Spa


Located in North Scottsdale, The Boulders Resort and Spa is renowned for its dramatic natural scenery featuring massive granite rock formations and pristine desert flora. The venue offers an exclusive and peaceful setting with elegant indoor and outdoor event spaces that blend luxury with nature.


Popular features include serene pools, desert golf courses, and quiet hiking trails, all framed by the iconic Sonoran Desert environment. For this wedding, we took advantage of secluded spots among the boulders and desert gardens to create portraits that felt both grand and intimate.


Despite the resort’s popularity, we found plenty of quiet corners to make the session feel personal and special. The weather was perfect with soft, glowing light, enhancing the natural beauty of the landscape and the couple’s joyful celebration.

Their genuine love and fun-loving personalities made every moment joyful to photograph. From emotional vows to energetic dancing under the stars, the wedding day was a beautiful blend of elegance and desert charm. I’m so grateful to have been part of their story and to capture memories they’ll cherish forever.
