The Game of Love With Joel and Sandra

 Being a wedding photographer is such a fun job, especially when you meet a couple like Joel and Sandra.  Fun, kind hearted and loving is how I would describe them.  Which makes sense that they met at a friends game night playing Rock Band!!  You can see the couples fun personality come out in the details and colors of the their wedding.  Joel and Sandra were married at The Franciscan Renewal Center in Scottsdale.  At The Franciscan Renewal Center has some great gardens and that is where you would find this great wood swing.  Sandra really wanted to incorporate the swing into some of her wedding pictures.
 Inside this lovely church no flash allowed.  That is ok with me, look at the great natural light.  I love the above picture of Sandra and her parents.  Look at her daddy beaming with pride!


 The couple sat in front facing all their friends and family.  Such a great touch.












 Did I mention how fun this couple was!!


 Look at those fabulous bridesmaids dresses!


 Ahh, more pictures with the great wood swing.

 At the reception Sandra and Joel had some fun props, such as hearts, dice and playing cards in large size.




This wonderful wedding invitation was made by Erin, Sandra's sister-in-law.  She has her own business called Be In Love Design.  Custom wedding and event invitation design.  Check her website out.:-)



 Joel and Sandra had their reception at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort.  Everything look beautiful.  DJ Dan Bare had their guest dancing into the night.  Thank you Joel and Sandra for a great fun wedding experience.  I especially enjoyed watching bits of German tradition displayed at your wedding reception.

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

Is it 5 or 15 Minutes of Fame?

Image
I want to say I am experiencing my 15 minutes of fame, since I had my 5 when I was 12. Stephanie help me out, what was the name of the talk show your mom took us to the tapping of in which I got to ask a question? This took place in 1979, we were in sixth grade. Teen Beat I think? I was selected to ask a question, in which now I can't remember if it was to Lief Garrett and I am thinking the host was Kristy McNichol, aggg... Anyway when the episode aired on TV I was to embarrassed to watch myself. Da I wish I would have!! On to my recent fame, I was asked to shoot the cover of the Arizona Bridal Source Guide this past spring for Kim Horn and it is out and about. This fame will last longer then 5 minutes since it will be available for the next 6 months. I am so very excited and am happy with how it turned out. It was a great and nerve racking experience! You can pick up a copy at several bridal shops around town and it will also be given out this weekend at the big bridal show at t
