Desert-Cool Engagement Session in the Sonoran Desert

May 2, 2026 BY: Amy

“Alina used to live in New York City and was on a work trip in Phoenix, Arizona. She met Brandon at a coffee shop a few years ago. The couple bonded over shared interests. They did a few trips together, and later, Alina moved to Phoenix, Arizona. Right now, they live together in a small, cozy house with six cats! They have a huge love for helping animals. Recently, Brandon took Alina on a hike in Sedona and proposed on the iconic Bridge Rock hike. She said yes! They had a small elopement ceremony at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix and are planning a big celebration in September 2026 in Wisconsin, where they are planning to move soon. They wanted to take elopement-engagement-style photos in the city where they met, before moving to Wisconsin, and they chose their favorite hike with giant saguaro cacti.”
