Welcome to the blog, sort of like a digital garden where dreams are planted and grow wild! My name is Quianna and my family calls me “Qui” like key! I’m a destination wedding photographer based in Scottsdale and the Bay Area.
I love adventures and creating memories even more than I love photographing them—and I LOVE taking photos! In addition to capturing weddings, family milestones, and the best memories I also offer business tools, motivation and inspiration to help creatives turn their passions into their profession. We only get this one life, why not live our days doing what we love?
As a wedding photographer learning and growing with every season it’s important to keep up with the trends, but also stay true to traditions and roots. As much of an advocate that I am for photographing a first look between the bride and groom before the ceremony, I also respect my couples, their wishes and superstitions if they choose a traditional first look walking down the aisle.
So… in case I have a couple that wants to wait for the ceremony for their first look I opt to photograph a parent’s first look! Check out this sweet Daddy and his first look at his baby girl as a bride!
It’s moments like these that make my heart happy!
First looks… it’s my new tradition that is here to stay!
