  • “JP captured beautiful photos when I got engaged. He suggested we go to Sedona and it was absolutely beautiful!

    I had to bring my dress in a separate bag and we did some hiking to get to Devil’s bridge in Sedona. That was a little tough but so so worth it!! I will cherish these photos forever! He really is an amazing photographer, and so great to work with. I highly recommend you have JP take photos for your special day! You won’t regret it!”

  • “My boyfriend and I were super nervous about finding a photographer that would capture what we envisioned. John Paul was an absolute dream to work with! He suggested we traveled to Sedona and i’m so glad he did, it was BEAUTIFUL! Not only did his fun personality ease our nerves but we had a great time and he suggested some really yummy dinner spots! There are so many photographers in AZ that it's overwhelming to choose who to go with. I 100% would (and do) recommend John Paul to anyone looking to get some quality images taken!”

  • “Truly an absolute powerhouse of a photographer! JP is knowledgeable, helpful, creative, and amazing at what he does!

    JP helped me on multiple photo shoots with hiding secret signs for my future wife! I had photo shoots while we were dating and I hid signs that said one day I’ll marry you. Then for our engagement, I revealed them all to her in the place it happened and proposed! JP was the man behind the camera that helped make this come true! On top of that, we now have everlasting photos to remember this time!

    JP on other occasions has taken photos of my dog, my car etc. Truly a Swiss Army knife of photographer! If you have anything you need photos taken for, I would highly recommend JP!”

  • “Where do I start! I've been looking for someone to take our engagement photos and was happy to have stumbled across John Paul! We wanted to do something different and out of our comfort level. The biggest challenge for this photo shoot was that it was mine and my fiance's first ever hike! Did I mention, first hike? Crazy enough there was a snow storm that happened that same week, so ice was expected. John Paul had gears ready for us to ensure our safety and made sure that we were comfortable. From daily reminders to drink water leading up to the hike, to him even bringing us spikes for our shoes. If you're gonna have to be with anybody on these hikes, it would be him. No doubt. I never thought I would be the type to love hikes, but the feeling once you get to the top, and days after the soreness goes away, it's incredible and we've been so grateful throughout. I would highly recommend him to anybody.”

Not sure how much coverage you should book?

This heavily depends on the activities you’d like to partake in for your elopement. While the possibilities are endless, here are some fun ideas catered to the southwest that could actually fit in your day!

Allow me to paint some pictures for you:

It’s monsoon season here in northern Arizona, after you and your partner have finished getting ready you both share a first look and get to spend the afternoon fishing and foraging for mushrooms and other edible plants, then go out to your ceremony location where you say “I do”. After a champagne toast and deserts and lots of beautiful photos you can enjoy an incredible campfire dinner with the very mushrooms and fishes you’ve caught and foraged for. 

Are you more of an adrenaline junkie? Try a morning hot air balloon ride (these can take around 3-4 hours) over the beautiful Sedona red rocks then drive up to flagstaff (only an hour away) to get dressed and ready meet with your small group of the closest people in your lives to exchange vows in front of and then hit the local ski resort and have a celebratory ride down the mountain as newlyweds

Do you feel more at home out on the water or outdoor rock climbing? What if I told you that you could do both activities in the same location!! Or maybe you love your adventure rig and want to go off-roading to different locations around the southwest from sunup ‘till sundown? Speaking of sundown, who says the adventure ends when the sun sets? Arizona, and much of the southwest has plenty of dark sky locations prized for viewing star constellations and the milky way! In fact, Flagstaff was where Pluto was first discovered and the very first town in the world to be designated as a dark sky community.

These experiences are what it’s all about! It’s your wedding day but that doesn’t mean it should feel like a big production like how most traditional weddings feel. There’s no pressure from the 150+ guests that you have to provide food and drinks for. This is all about you and setting the bar for the rest of your marriage. So these activities play a big part in your story, and what’s a good story without someone to help you document it?

Once you have an idea of what activities you’d like to do the next step is to take into consideration how long they would take to get a good idea of how much photo coverage will be needed.
