You know they are in love when…

 

Of all of the moments that keep a smile on my face, one of the best moments of any wedding day is when I can see the love in the eyes of the couple. Chris watched Hannah as she did a few solo poses for the camera and the excitement of their day was apparent. You know they are in love when a couple is able to tell their love story with their body language. The simple looks and eye-locking grins allow me to enjoy my time with them that much more.

Chris and Hannah’s unique ideas and magnetic personalities allowed me to capture some images that really stood out.  The beauty of the Boojum Tree Hidden Gardens made for a gorgeous wedding.  I love shooting here!

Sedona’s Serenity

Sedona has so many breathtaking locations for a wedding. Wes and Tracy chose Sky Ranch Lodge in Sedona to celebrate their day.

 

 

Brandon and Kim chose the Creekside Inn.  The tall trees gave us wonderful light for their ceremony and we also took them to Red Rock Crossing so we could have Cathedral Rock as their backdrop.

The Farm at South Mountain with Tom & Nikki

Tom and Nikki’s wedding was the perfected mix of rustic and romance. The colors were radiant and the day provided the perfect soft lighting for all of the events.

Tears of joy rolled down the cheeks of the bride and the guests during the ceremony.  So special; these are the unscripted, fleeting moments that we watch for and LOVE to capture!

They were a fun couple who were always smiling.

Details, Details!  These are some the things the bride and groom worked hard to put together, but are so easy to forget years down the road.  We always capture these important images in a creative way; it’s the difference between “taking pictures” and “creating images.”

Above: The Bride and Groom’s First Look

Crisp is the thought that comes to mind with this wedding. From their style to their wedding details, Matt and Ashley’s wedding was beautifully arranged.

The Bride and Groom got ready at The Hyatt Place Old Town Scottsdale. The day continued and The Venue of Scottsdale hosted this stunning couple’s wedding. The Venue provided a fun place for some formal shots which were unlike many other locations. Complete DJ (James Walker 602-670-8693) was the DJ for the evening’s entertainment.

Innovate & Accentuate

McClellan-Harwick_duelimageChristopher and Janie’s wedding at Gold Canyon Golf Resort gave us lots of opportunities to be creative.  We had a great personal connection as soon as we met and that really made the day more exciting, especially with the beautiful location and unique details to photograph.

A first look for Pat and Kelley at Arrowhead Country Club

The first look is something that isn’t easily forgotten when a couple thinks back to their big day. That excitement builds to a level like no other. Every bride and groom are different when they turn toward each other for the first time, but it is always the look of love that is shared.

The ceremony, at Arrowhead Country Club, really was a beauty to capture. The angles I was able to use were stunning and the surrounding areas allowed for some fantastic formal shots with the couple. The landscaping props mixed with Pat and Kelley made for amazing images!

Still Newlyweds After 25 Years!

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I recently had the honor of photographing Carol and Wayne’s 25-year Vow Renewal at Carefree Resort.  What an inspiration!  Julie and I only have 6 years behind us and I hope we are THIS adorable when we reach that milestone.  When she walked down the aisle you could just see that the spark was still there.  Even more fun was taking them out for pictures at sunset once the weather cooled off a little.

Congratulations, lovebirds, and thank you for allowing me to be there on such a special day!!
