An engagement session in the Phoenix Central Corridor by Phoenix Wedding Photographers Ryan & Denise

Every now and then, peer pressure can be a good thing. It was the intense urging from her co-workers that finally caused Ashley to create a profile on an online dating site. She thought the idea of meeting someone that way was pretty ridiculous. So she did it just to prove to them that it was silly. As it turned out, online dating was a little more effective than she thought. The very first guy she talked to was Brian. He was the only date she went on before closing her profile a week later. One week was all it took because Brian would turn out to be the love of her life. A few years later, she came home to find a trail of red balloons and rose petals leading her down the hallway of their home. At the end of the trail, she found Brian, surrounded by candles and petals, down on one knee holding the most beautiful engagement ring she’d ever seen. She’d never been more thankful for peer pressure!

We had a blast shooting Ashley & Brian’s engagement photos around their neighborhood in the Phoenix Central Corridor. Ashley really wanted to incorporate their bikes because they’d become  such a big part of their time together since moving to the area a few months back. And of course, a session at home made it very easy to have a special cameo from their pups, Mazie and Opa. We loved hanging out with these guys and sharing travel stories along the way.
