Tucson Museum of Art, Arizona Wedding - Emma & Farley
 

On their wedding day, October 14, 2023, there was an annular solar eclipse will cross North, Central, and South America. It was visible in parts of the United States, Mexico, and many countries in South and Central America, and we couldn’t help but photographed the beauty which will be back 70 years later in Tucson.

Emma works in climate change at a science museum in San Francisco, and Farley is a musician and music historian. They love to listen to college radio, go to shows, and are starting to play music together as well.
Emma was born and raised in Tucson, where her mom still lives and where she has a lot of community; hence, the wedding ceremony was be at a site out in the desert in Tucson Mountain Park, and the reception at the Tucson Museum of Art in historic downtown Tucson. Her best friend bought an old adobe near the museum downtown which was where she got ready.
Emma and Farley have both moved around a lot. After college, she moved around doing climate organizing work, settling for a while in North Carolina where she worked on a campaign to shut down a coal plant. Farley moved to Oakland and then Montreal, studying experimental electronic music performance and musicology. They actually went to the same college for undergrad and knew 'of' each other but weren't well acquainted. Farley was busy playing in bands and she was busy with activism and taking too many Econ classes. There is one photo of them at the same party- 4th of July 2009 at the Grant St. House. There was a super soaker fight that Farley couldn't join because he had to be at his radio station job right after. They then reconnected in Berkeley when they’d both moved to the Bay to be closer to family and were feeling a little aimless. Before marriage, they lived together with our cat Lollie and Farley's older brother, in the old house his brother was born in that is now held together by magic and duct tape.

Brett and I traveled to Tucson the day before the wedding, photographed their wedding with our hearts out. And here is some words we received from them;

“The photos are absolutely gorgeous, you and Brett were amazing We could not have asked for more incredible photographers or sweeter people to capture the day!! Our guests totally loved meeting and partying with you- I’m wishing you were front of the camera!! You guys captured everything so beautifully. We just can’t thank you enough (okay now I’m crying a little).  Please also if you’re ever up in the Bay we’d love to take you guys out for a drink/dinner (for real though.) We love you!! Thank you so much”
