Let's Talk About TTD

Lets talk about Trash The Dress, I think it should be called something else for the dress doesn't really get trashed.  Maybe a little dirty or dusty.  Unless of course you are going into the ocean.  Then you just rinse off the dress with the hose and drop it off at the dry cleaners.  Can I just say that I LOVE doing this kind of shoot.  Maybe I will re title it to WDF (Wedding Dress Fun).  They are so much fun because the bride is so relaxed, you get to pick a fun out of the ordinary location and the photographer is under no time limit or any concerns of keeping everything neat and pretty.  Do you remember Raeannon, a beautiful past bride?  Let me tell you that we had so much fun doing this WDF.  I feel like I've had a big secret waiting for the right time to do this blog post.  We had such a great time and Raeannon was such a trooper. She is gorgeous and was not afraid to lay down in the dirt which made for great pictures.  Thank you Raeannon!!!

Beautiful Pictures as always Mary :) I agree I don't like the term Trash the Dress. An immediate turnoff to most brides. I call it "Love the Dress" sessions because the bride gets to really enjoy the dress and in the process capture memories that she will love. I like WDF too :)

Is it 5 or 15 Minutes of Fame?

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.
