He makes her laugh. The kind of laugh that’s contagious and makes it hard to hold the camera up to your face and focus on the playful yet quiet love between the two people in front of you. Doug and I made the two hour drive to visit Brian and Emily, stopping for some happy hour at the Lumberyard with them before ending the day with some romantic northern Arizona engagement photos.

We found the best nooks and hideaways throughout downtown, walking and talking about anything and everything, especially their winter wedding this New Year’s Eve in Durango, CO! Doug and I often talk about how lucky we are to know them, let alone be chosen as their wedding photographers. Brian is actually the reason Doug and I are even together. So you can see how special it is for us to be a part of his and Emily’s wedding day.

We loved this day, with these two, and this town. Enjoy our favorite shots from their northern Arizona engagement photos!
