Amanda + Erik

GO BACK TO BLOG HOME

March 20, 2025

Some love stories unfold slowly, built on years of friendship and shared experiences. Amanda and Erik’s journey is exactly that. Their wedding at Superstition Mountain was the perfect celebration of their love, surrounded by Arizona landscapes and the people who mean the most to them!

Amanda and Erik’s story began in 2019 when they met during their master’s program. Throughout college, they were close friends. It wasn’t until 2021, when they went to dinner one evening and ended up talking for over three hours, that they both realized their connection was something more. From that moment on, they were inseparable.

Over the past 2.5 years, they’ve built a life filled with adventure, shared passions, and love. Whether they’re exploring new places around the world or cooking side by side in the kitchen, Amanda and Erik have found joy in life’s simple and big moments together. Erik proposed in October, 2024 on an island off the coast of Africa—a moment that perfectly reflected their adventurous sides.

With Amanda originally from Arizona, it felt only right to celebrate their wedding in the desert she once called home. Superstition Mountain provided the perfect backdrop!

Their wedding day was nothing short of magical. Every detail of the day reflected their personalities, from the intimate ceremony setting to the elegant and effortless reception under the stars.

Amanda and Erik’s love story is just beginning. With a foundation built on friendship, a shared love for travel, and a deep appreciation for each other, there’s no doubt their future will be filled with just as much beauty and excitement as their wedding day.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding that reflects your unique journey, let’s make it happen! Whether you’re planning a breathtaking Arizona wedding or an intimate elopement in the mountains, I’d love to document your special day in a way that feels true to you. Click HERE to reach out today!
