Phillip and Laurel

After 17 years of shooting weddings I find that two things remain, shooting weddings is still exciting and you still run into that extra special couple! Phillip and Laurel are that couple. When it was time to say goodbye to them I found myself getting emotional.

This is what I observed when shooting Phillip and Laurel's engagement pictures and during the wedding. The way Phillip would look at Laurel, like there was no one else in the room. The way Laurel's eyes lit up if someone mentioned Phillips name. How excited Laurel was when she realized that when leaving the church she would get to ride in the same car as Phillip. The best part is their amazing faith in God! It is clearly evident when you are with them. When I left their wedding I was truly inspired by them..

Thank you Phillip and Laurel for such a beautiful experience.


P.S. My son William didn't want to leave the hotel in Kingman. He had a great day with daddy!!

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful wedding. You were right. I don't know that I have ever seen anyone more in love than Laurel. Phillip is one lucky man. I'm sure they will be happy forever.

Ahh Stella

Image
When you get an email from the sister of a past pride asking if you could take pictures of her 6 month old baby girl, you say sure! When she ask you if you can meet at her sister-in-laws house to take the picture because she has a "fun house" you reply yes. Then you show up and see this beautiful baby girl and this incredibly decorated shabby chic house, you burst with excitement inside.. That is just what happened. Elaine emailed me to see if I could take pictures of Stella and asked if we could meet at her sister-in-laws house. Well, you can see for yourself that Stella is beautiful and the house was a photographer's dream. Elaine had all her own idea's for Miss Stella. We had so much fun and Stella was a trooper to say the least. I loved how Stella would smile at her mommy over and over again. She is truly a happy baby. This shoot inspired me to convert some of my office into a studio. I called my friend Nancy after the shoot and was blabbing away on how much fun

~George and Catherine~

I met Catherine just about a month before her wedding and truly liked her instantly. When we met she came alone and was so calm about her wedding and what she was looking for. I was pleased she booked me and looked forward to working with her and meeting George. When I got to Catherine's house she was again very calm and taking her time getting ready. That is when I met George for the first time, he to was very calm taking his time getting ready. The wedding was very simple, two people in love getting married. Once the I do's were said the rest of the afternoon looked like the next few images. Giddy, smile's, more smiles of joy. I loved watching them and would get caught up in the moment. Had to remind myself to take pictures:-) Catherine looked so beautiful, very classy and George so handsome, movie star couple status I would say. Again, more smiles, giggles and glances. It was so special to watch, I mean to take pictures of.;-) To look over the pictures one would not noti
