Arizona is the kind of place that invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and celebrate love in landscapes that feel both wild and grounding. Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate elopement among red rocks, a desert-gold Phoenix wedding at sunset, or simply want to capture this season of life with your person, I’m here for it. After six years as a premier Seattle wedding photographer, I’ve brought my heart-led storytelling to the Southwest. I specialize in Arizona wedding photography and family portraits that capture the wild, grounding beauty of the desert. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement in the Sedona red rocks or looking for a family photographer in Gilbert to document your latest milestone, I’m here to turn those fleeting moments into lifelong heirlooms. I am based in the Queen Creek and San Tan Valley area, but love to explore all of Arizona!

Timeless Arizona Wedding & Family Photography

Blake Reid is a destination photographer specializing in weddings and elopements throughout Arizona and the Southwest. We photograph weddings, engagements, and commercial work using both film and digital formats. Blake is a longtime film lover, a whisky enthusiast, and happiest when he’s with his wife, son, and their very energetic 4-year-old dog.


We’re a husband-and-wife photography duo now based in Arizona, capturing real moments and honest wedding stories for couples who value connection over perfection. Over the past decade, our work has taken us across the West — from coastal ceremonies to mountain elopements — and now, we’re excited to call the desert home. Whether you’re planning an intimate sunrise elopement among the saguaros or a full wedding celebration beneath Arizona’s incredible skies, we’re honored to document it.


Our goal is simple: create meaningful images you’ll love for a lifetime. We’ll be with you every step of the way—from the first conversation to the final delivery—making sure the experience feels easy, supportive, and true to you.


Arizona Wedding Photographer — Specializing with 35mm + Polaroid

Your Local Queen Creek Photographer:

Capturing Life’s Big Moments.


Moving from the Pacific Northwest to the Arizona desert has been an incredible creative shift. As a professional photographer now based in Queen Creek, I bring a mix of Seattle’s artistic edge and Arizona’s vibrant light to every session. Whether capturing timeless wedding photos, heartfelt engagement photos, or stunning professional photos for your business, every image is designed to tell your story with authenticity, care, and compelling images that stand out.


Beyond weddings, I also offer a full range of commercial photography and video services for local businesses and brands throughout Queen Creek, Gilbert, the San Tan Valley, all of the Easy Valley, and all of Phoenix. The services offered include corporate events, business headshots, branding sessions, and professional video production to help elevate your brand’s visual presence. Every photo shoot is handled with the same attention to detail and creativity that defines my work, ensuring a seamless experience from the first time we connect to final delivery.


As an experienced commercial photographer and editorial photographer, I understand the importance of branding, connection, and atmosphere. My professional photographs do more than simply showcase your work—they help businesses achieve their marketing goals and align with your specific needs. It’s about more than just taking pictures; it’s about crafting visual stories that inspire, connect, and deliver great work every time.


No matter the setting—an intimate elopement, desert engagement, or full-scale brand session—expect personalized service, natural posing guidance, and beautifully edited results. Let’s plan your next photo shoot in Queen Creek, Gilbert, or Phoenix, Arizona, and create images that reflect who you are, what you value, and what you love most.

While I travel across the state, I frequently work in San Tan Valley, capturing everything from desert engagements to family photos. If you’re looking for a scenic backdrop in San Tan Valley, I can recommend several hidden gems perfect for your next session.


Also when choosing Arizona wedding photographers, it’s important to match their artistic style to your vision. I always recommend viewing full galleries, not just social media highlights, to ensure you find the perfect fit for your special day.

QUESTIONS?

Got questions about our wedding photography services? Here are some common inquiries we receive from couples planning their big day.

  • What should I look for when hiring an Arizona Wedding Photographer?

    When choosing an AZ wedding photographer, it is essential to look for someone who understands the unique desert light. Arizona’s sun can be harsh, so you want a professional who is experienced in managing high-contrast environments and golden hour sessions. Always ask to see a full gallery—not just a highlight reel—to ensure their style remains consistent from the ceremony to the reception.

  • When is the best time to book an AZ Wedding Photographer?

    The peak wedding season in Arizona runs from October through April due to the beautiful desert weather. Because of this, top-tier AZ wedding photographers often book out 12 months or more in advance. If you are planning a spring or fall wedding, it’s best to reach out as soon as you have your date and venue secured.

  • What areas do you serve for family and wedding photography?

    While I am based in the Queen Creek and San Tan Valley area, I travel all across the state. I frequently photograph weddings and families in:


    Scottsdale & Phoenix


    Sedona & Flagstaff


    Gilbert & Mesa


    Tucson & Southern Arizona

  • How long will it take to receive our photos?

    You can expect to receive your edited photos within a week of your session, or 6-8 weeks of your wedding!
