I recently took engagement photos for a VERY cool couple – my niece Maria Victoria and her fiancee, Jordan.

They are both proud members of the United States Navy and just generally really awesome people, and it was a lot of fun to take their pictures at the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden.

They even did a few shots in their uniforms, although it was about 110 degrees that morning!

To Maria and Jordan: Congratulations! We are all so very proud of you for your accomplishments and excited for your new life together.
