Ryan and Megan

Ryan and Megan were married on 10/10/09 at St. Thomas Aquinas with a reception at the Wigwam in Litchfield, AZ. Both families were so warm, and treated me like family too! I had previously photographed Megan's sister Katie's wedding, so I really enjoyed seeing everyone again!

Janet and Nick

Janet and Nick were married at the Windmill in Florence, AZ on 10/18/09. Janet is a long time friend who helped me so much with advice when I first started in photography! I was so thrilled that of all photographers, she chose me to be with her on her wedding day.

I always have a planning meeting with the bride and groom, and never force them to see each other ahead of time. However, Janet and Nick asked to see each other, and I positioned myself far a way across the pond for that special moment!

The light is fantastic at the Windmill if you schedule your ceremony just before sunset.

...and it was great to see some friends I had previously photographed at weddings!

Anastasia and Jehanigir

Anastasia and Jehanigir were married at Eagle Mountain

in Fountain Hills, AZ on 10/17/09. This was a wonderful

wedding day that blended two very warm and fun families

that come from very different cultures. Anastasia flew her

parents and friends in from Russia, and Jehanigir's ethnic

Pakistani family were in traditional garb... they were so

much fun!

Bringing both together just seems so right in the

warm Arizona sun!

Eagle Mountain is a cozy venue that can easily boast

of spectacular views!

Ehren and Meghan

Ehren and Meghan were married at the Boojum Tree in Phoenix, AZ on 10/3/09.

This was a such a fun day because of the easy going nature of our bridal party, followed by a wild reception in the Gazebo of the Boojum Tree. The Boojum Tree has so many varied and colorful opportunities for photography!

Jeff and Nicole

Jeff and Nicole were married on 9/26/09 at St. Timothy in Mesa, Arizona. St. Tim's is a beautiful but difficult church to photograph because of the variable lighting. I do like that we can photograph from above, and that makes for awesome images.

At Val Vista Lakes, Nicole was styling and Jeff was cool "GQ"!

Our bride and groom asked for a beach pic, and the bridal party jumped in!
