As this pair had planned just a small civil ceremony in Phoenix, when they were up here elk hunting, they wanted to do an “engagement” type shoot. Any couple that can go hunting together and still decide to get married….I’m impressed. :) These two were such a blast to work with and I couldn’t be happier for them!
I’d been looking forward to shooting this wedding since meeting this adorable couple at their engagement session this spring. Needless to say, it didn’t disappoint! It was a gorgeous rooftop ceremony at the historic Hassayampa hotel; and the weather cooperated just enough. It poured 30 minutes after the ceremony…..we got lucky. :)
I swear this wedding was designed with a photographer in mind. There were so many sentimental details and personal touches. From the hand-me-down pearls, the wedding dress worn by both the bride’s mother and grandmother, the wedding arch the couple made out of horse shoes (both are farriers), and the buckskin dress with beads passed down the generations. Everything had a story….and so much love.
First and foremost, I gotta say how much I love this venue. Trees…gorgeous shade….water…features that aren’t easy to find with an Arizona wedding venue. Then there was this couple. Amazing to work with and so much love between them. They put their wedding on the back burner for 10 years….but it was definitely worth the wait.
With weddings it’s rare for everything to go according to plan, the weather to cooperate, and everything to be on time. This wedding was definitely one of those lucky ones, and it all came together beautifully for this lovely couple!
These two were such an adorable couple to work with! They were up for anything and put up with all my crazy requests….including going on a little hike when she had some serious heels on. I can’t wait for their late summer wedding!
We had quite the winds to contend with so this outdoor wedding had to be moved inside. We were hardly able to take any photos outside, and the ones we did, had to be quick snapped in between gusts. This sweet couple didn’t miss a beat though, and they’re day was absolutely beautiful! Flowers: Green Creek Gardens. Venue: Prescott Resort.
Wrapped up 2016 with this lovely little maternity session. This sweet couple is actually expecting their little girl the same week I’m due. :) It was definitely fun to swap stories and compare notes. It will be fun to see who’s little gomper gets here first!
Being comfortable in front of a giant lens isn’t the easiest, but when you are, the resulting photos are magic. This couple is proof of that. They were so animated and interactive during their engagement shoot! Plus, I got to work with Creative Space Film for the first time, which was so fun!
I couldn’t have asked for a more relaxed, fun loving couple to photograph on their wedding day. They had a beautiful, historic church ceremony venue and then a gorgeous country club reception site. All set in one of my favorite mountain towns, on a gorgeous fall day. It was impossible not to have a great time…..
