Escaping the heat in August, means getting up at sunrise for a first look bride and groom session.  It truly is worth it, when you get images like this!  Clara + Van got married last weekend, and although the weather was warm, we made the best choices about times to take photos, and it was just perfect.   These desert and Mesa Temple photos we shot a few days before the wedding, have me so giddy!  I wanted to share a million on my  Instagram and Facebook pages.  I love all the little details in their wardrobe and florals. But mostly, I just loved getting to know them and their sweet families.  What a beautiful day, celebrating their marriage at the Mesa, LDS temple, followed by a fun reception at Val Vista Lakes Clubhouse.  Enjoy friends!
