Seriously FAB wedding!

Some days I look at my surroundings and think, "Am I SERIOUSLY getting paid for this?"
Recently, the fab Mary Sandy asked if I was ok photographing the groom for getting ready pics. (Honestly, I'd be happy taking pics of the grass, but that's another story...") Anyway, I said,"Of course!" Yes, brides are prettier, and they generally come with miles of flowing fabric, hair, and make-up (my fav) but the guys, well, the guys have some cool rituals too! This wedding was filled with greatness from getting ready to reception! And yes, I was with Jeremy and the guys for getting ready! And it was almost as fun as hair and make-up!






After I left Jeremy, I found Mary taking formals of the beautiful Corinne. I so enjoyed the warm lighting of this wedding!



After Corrine's formals, we followed up with a few of the groom.


There were some wonderful details to this wedding. I really loved the idea of donations instead of traditional favors.




Jeremy looked a mix of excited, and proud, and very happy waiting for his bride to walk down the aisle.







The first dance was fantastic! It was just a taste of the fun that the reception would bring. These two, their family, and their friends were so ready to celebrate this union!



I loved this picture toward the end of the night of the bride's parents. All stress gone, they took a moment to truly be happy. Can't you see it on their faces?


There must have been a full moon that night, or close to it. I caught it high above the cake just before cutting.


What a great way to spend a Saturday in November! Capturing the happy moments of a wonderful day. I am truly thankful to have these opportunities, and I thank you all for letting me share them with you!

Mr and Mrs Smith

Last week, I was lucky enough to second shoot for Mary Sandy at the fabulous wedding of Tim and Brandee at the very cool Tempe Center for the Arts.
If Audrey Hepburn and Martha Stewart became one, you'd get Mrs. Smith. That's how I would explain Brandee, she had the beauty and gracefulness of Audrey, but the DIY talent and eye for details of Martha! There may be a DIY show in the future for Mrs. Smith! I do believe this hanger was her handy work!











The elements of the day were water and wind! The venue was surrounded by water, and mother nature brought in a dust storm right before the ceremony. It cleared just in time, and even allowed us some wind to capture these fun blowing dress shots!
