Beth+Elijah–I’m so blessed to get to call these two friends. Beth and I grew up alongside each other in the dance studio. We traveled states away, competed, and cried and bled together all for the sake of a richly shared passion. I could not have been happier that Beth wanted me to photograph her time as a bride, and am so completely honored to get to do so for such a significant friendship.

Including some original pieces from their story, we created a sweet little engagement session at their first meeting place: Chandler High School. Enjoy this heart-warming set of images, and make sure to check back later for set 2 of this beautiful duo tomorrow morning!

So many thanks to Mariana Marie for her hard work and skill in giving Beth a beautiful look with hair and makeup. xo
