Married at Last~ Damon and Shannon

Damon and Shannon were finally married at Encanterra Country Club. What a beautiful wedding day it was. A little hot, but not to bad. This was my first time at Encanterra, let me say this ~"amazinggg". Shannon and her girls had their hair and makeup done at Dolce in Chandler.

Damon and Shannon met by chance. Shannon's roommates worked at a bar in Tempe and she would go hang out with them while they worked. While Damon worked security at this same bar, he also would go play Texa's Hold'em there. One night Shannon and her friends were all getting together for her brothers 21st birthday. Just so happens that a mutual friend had invited Damon along, in hopes of setting him up with someone entirely different then Shannon. Come to find out, Damon had a crush on Shannon and was surprised to see her there that night. Even though he was nervous, he worked up the courage to talk to her. Needless to say he was not interested in anybody else. The two have been together ever since.
I have to say this is one of my all time favorite pictures! Shannon is so elegant.


Damon looking very sharp himself!! Tall and hansome!! Damon and Shannon make such a perfect couple!
The hands were Shannon's idea! Love how it came out.
Everything was perfect! A great reception hosted by AZ Celebrity DJ. The night ended with a sparkler exit! Thank you Damon and Shannon for allowing me to photograph your wedding. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

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 ...
