The unity ceremony is a common part of wedding ceremonies from all cultures. It symbolizes the two individuals or families coming together as one. Before I got married, when I thought “unity ceremony” I immediately thought of the unity candle. You know, the two small taper candles that the bride and groom use to light a fat candle. And that fat candle will sit in their house to collect dust and maybe even melt in Arizona! But that is no longer the only option! There are many unique unity ceremonies from you to choose from (or create your own!). This is a great opportunity to personalize your wedding ceremony without breaking traditions.

Over the past five years they have built a life together with their Shepard mix Lucy and their son Abraham.

Cheslyne and Shane’s Flagstaff engagement session was absolutely magical. They knew that they wanted to escape the summer heat and enjoy the beauty of Northern Arizona for their session. We decided on a sunrise session on the Campbell Mesa Loop Trail. So, with Dutch Bros in hand, I left the valley at a brisk 3:00 AM to head up the mountain to the trailhead. And it was so worth it! There is just something so magical about the rays from the morning sun shining through the pine trees.

But once you have done an engagement session, what do you do with the photos? There are actually a lot of fun options! Here are some of my favorites.

You know that family portraits are important for your wedding day. But, thinking about it is starting to stress you out. What photos do you want?
