Eric and Rose

I've waited over a year for this wedding knowing it was going to be a very special event. I met with Rose and her parents and immediately felt comfortable and was hoping that I would be the wedding photographer for this family. Yeah I was!! Walking into the room where Rose was getting ready, the first thing I saw was her amazing wedding dress and it set the tone for the entire day.
Rose is one of the sweetest young ladies you will ever meet. I am not exaggerating. Very kind and polite. All that and natural beauty to go with it. Christy is responsible for the beautiful makeup on this special day.
I like this picture of Rose and her mom having a moment of down time together amongst the activity going on around them. Rose has a very wonderful family.
Eric and Rose had a minute alone together before the ceremony. While watching them you can sense the feeling of FINALLY our day is here.
The groomsmen all wore pink socks in honor of Rose.... Real men wear pink is what I say.
Let the party begin. Jeff with Ray the DJ had everyone dancing within minutes of the introduction and the dancing lasted all night long! One of the BEST receptions I have witnessed in a very long time. Way to rock it Jeff.
I had to post this picture of the men trying to catch the garter. They wanted it bad.Eric and Rose's wedding day didn't go quit as planned but you would never know it. At one point we had to ignore our timeline and just go with the flow, in which they did without letting anyone on to the stress of it. This was one special wedding for a very special couple. I found myself holding back tears so many times throughout the day, for so many events were so moving. Even right after the introduction of the couple at the reception Jeff had everyone on the dance floor, I mean everyone and it was so moving to watch. While at the reception I was chatting with Jeff about how wonderful this couple is and Jeff describe them perfectly by using the word "gracious". That is Eric and Rose a very gracious couple. Eric and Rose I absolutely loved being a part of your wedding and adore you both so much. I can not say enough wonderful things about the two of you and how you make people feel special when around you. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

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...

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 ...

 My first wedding of 2014 was with Nicole and Chad at Encanto Park Clubhouse.  This wedding was so sweet with fabulous details.  I mean really fabulous details, from the location, to the bridesmaids attire and reception details.  If you follow my blog regularly you know I usually do not post to many detail shots, I always photograph them, I just do not post them.  For this post I am posting more then average because they were just so fun.  Thank you so much Nicole and Chad for allowing me to capture your sweet wedding.  It was such a great way to start 2014.
