Albert and Heather will be getting married on May 2nd at Gray Hawk Golf Club. We did their engagement pictures at the Scottsdale Civic Center a couple weeks ago. They are a very attractive couple. When Heather smile's her eyes light up! Don't you just love her dress? They both look so happy. I am so looking forward to shooting their wedding....

The Avery family was referred to me from my gal pal Lyric. Lyric told me "they are a beautiful family" she wasn't kidding. Not only are they a beautiful family, they are such a sweet family. I spent one hour photographing mostly Colton for his senior portraits and then some family shots and I had the best time. This family is so special, you just feel it when hanging with them. Isn't Colton a looker? He is a musician so we did a lot of photos with his guitars. I would have to say that Colton has an old soul, his disposition was so polite and gentlemen like.

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!!
