Last week, I talked about some factors that make a first look a great choice.  The first look helps create a more relaxed wedding day and gives you time together. However, it’s not for everyone.  Traditional wedding schedules can also be wonderful and low stress, as long as you plan carefully.  For those brides and grooms […]

Heidi and Kent met while acting.  They both lived in New York City and were cast opposite one another in the same play.  Kent played Heidi’s sweetheart who went off to war.  Unfortunately, their characters didn’t end up together in the play because Kent’s character died before he could return to her.  Heidi’s best friend, who saw the […]

I absolutely love the Windmill Winery in Florence, AZ!  It’s beautiful, well-run, and everything you need is right there.  You don’t have to walk long distances to get to the good spots or wait for a golf cart (which has driven many a wedding off schedule).  It makes the wedding day simple, straight forward, and […]

Today, I have a beautiful wedding to share from Val Vista Lakes in Gilbert Arizona.  The weather was absolutely lovely on the day of this marriage.  Sometimes December can get a little chilly, even in Sunny Arizona, but we had comfortable temperatures all day and night as Jenny + Tony tied the knot and got […]

This afternoon, I’m pleased to share Chris and Courtney’s gorgeous Secret Garden Wedding in Phoenix, AZ.  During this wedding, everyone kept saying that Courtney is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, and I felt like they took the words right out of my mouth.  Beautiful photos of a beautiful soul!  […]

Zach’s an Arizona boy who met the love of his life and future bride at church.  They were both volunteering as youth leaders for eighth grade students.  Through their work with the church, they got to know each other on a deeper level.  Samma learned to respect Zach for the solid, God-loving man that he […]

Happy Wednesday!  I have a beautiful wedding to share with you this morning!  I photographed Sam + Diane’s Gilbert, Arizona LDS Temple Wedding a couple weeks ago.  The temperature in Gilbert and the entire Phoenix area had finally cooled down, and I felt lucky to be working in great weather.  I met Sam and Diane through […]

Jonathon walked into a shop one afternoon and was greeted by a warm smiling face. Ashley helped him find what he was after and put a little extra effort into this sale. She wanted to make sure he’d be a return customer, so she gave him a little wink. You can bet he came back, […]
