As I pulled up to my parking spot my excitement grew.

What an incredibly beautiful place I was in.

I had been in this area many years ago. In fact I was right next door, at Ponderosa Stables, taking a trail ride through this amazing scenery. Back then, however I only had eyes for the horses and completely missed this amazing set of ruins!

Scorpion Gulch was originally built at the base of South Mountain in Phoenix Arizona in 1936 as a home and General store. It was turned into a bar in the 1970’s. It is rumored that at one point it burned down, but there is no evidence of fire. It is now listed on the historic preservation register.

This is such an beautiful setting for intimate portraits of Bride and Groom.

Christian and Whitney had a small wedding and never had portraits taken of the two of them. This was the perfect opportunity for Whitney to wear her wedding dress again.

This couple is so in love. They have such amazing chemistry together. They were truly a pleasure to meet.

Whitney is absolutely stunning with these deep burgundy’s and rich greens.

We couldn’t have asked for better weather in Phoenix.
