Riette and Jason
Arizona Wedding Engagement Photos
I am really excited for Riette and Jason’s wedding next year. Not only are they really fun to hang out with but they are getting married at one of my favorite venues the Bentley Projects! And, wait for it, her coordinator is one of my ultimate faves, Cicely Rocha-Miller of Life Design Event Planning. Cic and I are practically BFF’s, practically, and I’m always so excited to do events with her!
Since Riette is the head honcho of Downtown Phoenix Venues we were able to shoot in some of the best spots in town. First we hit up the Ice House followed by the Monorchid. If you haven’t visited these venues you should. I’m a huge fan of fun ultra modern spaces, so these three wedding spots totally speak to me!

Riette and Jason say:
I work in the wedding industry and thereby I work with a lot of different photographers. Choosing your photographer is almost the most important vendor, it is the only item you take with you after the wedding.
Your only physical memory. There are truly a lot of talented photographers out there, but if I had to make the decision again I would have chosen Darby again for my own wedding. The key thing that made me choose her was at our first meeting she brought 2 albums the genuinely looked like 2 different photographers had done the work. This told me that she did not have a particular look, but that she created a method and look around the brides personal taste and personality. And both albums were absolutely AMAZING.
Darby has also shot 2 of my clients weddings and the brides could not have been more different in personality but the photos matched each couple BEAUTIFULLY! Honestly I cannot say enough wonderful things about her, she will be amazing to work with I guarantee it, she will give you photographs that will make you tear up!
My dad who is not impressed by much could not get over how amazing her work is! I wish I had better stronger words to convince you how amazing she is and that you should hire her but I cannot think of any, I just know this will be a decision that you will never regret!





















LOVE IT! So cute!
