Planning Guides

Prosper Studios – Some people that have lived in the Vail Valley long enough will swear that the mountains breathe, whisper to each other in the early mornings and evenings. Maybe it’s stories or simple musings, but one thing is clear, the mountain is alive. We at Prosper Studios are longtime locals…

Chris Richards – Tucson’s Santa Catalina mountains make a stunning Arizona backdrop for weddings, and dozens of venues take full advantage of it, though each in their own unique way. Time of day, time of year, light, clouds and weather are all variables affecting just what kind of backgrounds…

Jennifer Zinchuk – Every wedding has its own feel and its own schedule. Many of our brides opt to schedule time during their wedding day (or sometime after) for an on-location photo session. Some brides want to take advantage of the beautiful sunsets over Puget Sound…
