Jessica and Kirk fell in love with The Nile during a visit to Arizona.  When they mentioned it to me as a potential spot for their engagement session, I was super excited.  I spend many nights in the basement of the Nile with my husband attending concerts.  Many of which, his band played.  So, this is a super sentimental spot for me.  Adding sprinkles to this already amazing Sunday, they just updated the front of the coffee shop!  It is now super cute and was giving me some Paris bistro vibes.  (Full disclosure, I have never been to Paris…)

Jessica and Kirk met through the OKCupid website almost three years ago!  They live in Ohio and are planning a wedding here in Arizona at the Japanese Friendship Garden.  We were able to sneak in their engagement session during one of their wedding planning trips.  When they are not enjoying a quiet evening at home with their cat, Willow, they love taking trips to Trader Joe’s on the weekends.  They also share my endless love of Disney!  Jessica and I met from the Arizona Bridal show in January and we immediately bonded over our love for Dutch Bros coffee.  I am so excited to photograph their wedding this December!
