Simple Yet Beautiful

 This is Clint and Lisa's wedding, simple yet so beautiful.  I had so much fun working with this couple!  Clint and Lisa are so down to earth, kind and really just want to have a good time.  That is why they planned their wedding on a Thursday, so all their friends and family could for sure be there.  You see they are Phoenix Police and wanted a day where they could celebrate with their squad mate's and fellow officers, that is how close they are.  A couple other things that made this day extra fun, my bff Nancy was there, her son-in-law was one of the groomsmen.  Actually shout out to you Katie and Nick (Nancy's daughter and husband)  for recommending me to Lisa and Clint, I really appreciate the referrals.  Then there was my second shooter for the day, lovely Heather!  She came from San Diego to help with this wedding. 
 I loved all the laughing while Lisa was getting her makeup done!
 Lisa is almost ready to go, looking beautiful.
 This is the first look for Clint and Lisa.  They look, high five, hug and then kiss.  Time to get married!









 This beautiful wedding was held a new location for me as well as the reception.  One plus is they were both so close to my house. First location of ceremony, Deem Hills north of Happy Valley on 55th ave. It was so beautiful here with the desert background.

 Reception was held at Pinnacle Vista Villa  
It had such wonderful features such as the stone stair case, chandeliers everywhere and water features.  This site is a little gem tuck away. 
 
 Look at this cake!  I loved the cake topper, so appropriate for this couple.




 
Here is a group shot of Clint and Lisa with their squad mates and fellow officers.

Clint and Lisa, thank you for allowing me to photograph your engagement photos and wedding.  I really enjoyed getting to know you both and think you are a fabulous couple.  Thank you for your service as Phoenix police, it is greatly appreciated.  Nice to know I now have a few friends on the force, haha..

~George and Catherine~

Image
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

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
