The dirty details of this Flagstaff wedding venue:

Aldea Weddings in the Woods is a venue in Mountainaire, AZ, just 20 minutes south of Flagstaff. They were founded in 2004 and you know I LOVE that they’re family-owned and operated!

You’ll see it throughout the pics in this blog, but the space they’ve curated among the raw Arizona beauty is just gorgeous. They have all-inclusive, customizable packages and a rockstar selection of vendors. It’s truly a chance to have an AMAZING wedding experience.

learn more about how I do this

With a background in filmmaking, my job is to approach your wedding like I would a film – balancing between the director and a fly-on-the-wall approach. My primary focus is on documenting all of the emotions in the room, that way in the end you get photos that reflect how the day felt, and not just what your shoes looked like.
