A Scottsdale Civic Center Engagement session by Scottsdale Wedding Photographers by Ryan & Denise

Senior year can be a scary time in a high school student’s life. As the spring semester starts to draw to a close, it’s hard to imagine that your life, as you know it, is coming to an end. For Brianna and Ryan, they were both facing a cross country move, from Minnesota to Arizona to attend ASU for their freshman year of college. One night at a party, they were introduced and struck up a conversation, quickly discovering that their futures were headed in a very similar direction. There was a spark – suddenly the idea of leaving everyone they knew didn’t seem quite so scary. By the time they were packed and ready to head into the newest chapter of their lives a few months later, they were doing it hand in hand. Nine years later, as they gazed at a secluded waterfall in Hawaii, Ryan asked Brianna to be his wife.

Downtown Scottsdale was the perfect setting to do engagement photos for this sweet pair! Brianna and Ryan live nearby and spend their weekends walking their puppy Lola in Civic Center and frequenting the restaurants in the area. They’re even planning to say their “i dos” at the Clayton at the Park! They told us that they park their cars on Friday night and walk to everything they need for the entire weekend. Sounds pretty great to us!

AND don’t forget to click “love” under your favorite images along the way!

These two were pretty much the epitome of adorable the moment they stepped in front of our cameras.

Brianna – could you be any more beautiful?

As you know, we LOVE our two pups, so we were extra excited to meet their sweet little Lola! These two love their furry kid as much as we love ours! (If that’s even possible. Ha ha!)

That face! Don’t you just want to snuggle her?

Love her little paws :-)

Just had to include a little portrait of this cutie pie!

Loved the soft light and the water in these next shots.

We headed over the The Scottsdale Waterfront to take advantage of the last bit of light before the sun went down.

Too cute :-)

We had so much fun with these two! Thanks for a wonderful session you guys!
