~New Year's Eve Love With Dan and Trisha~

 Meet Dan and Trisha my New Year's Eve couple. Yes, they were married on December 31, 2011.  When I met with Dan and Trisha I sensed that this would be a fun wedding, was it ever!!  You see this couple is so full of love and life, a great combination.  Dan enters a room with confidence and charisma.  Trisha enters the room with confidence's and beauty, together they are dangerous (in a good way).  Ancala Country club is where this little wedding of 200 guest took place.  Yes, they did party til midnight and some.  It was truly one of the best New Year's Eve wedding's ever!!  This first series of pictures is the first look.  Dan and Trisha did a lot of their pictures before the wedding since the ceremony was scheduled for sunset.





 Now look at all these beautiful women!!  I usually do not post a lot of bridal party pictures, but with this fun group I had to share.  I need to mention how beautiful the weather was on this day.  I would say about 77 degrees, big difference from last year at this time.  I shot a wedding on Jan 1 2010 and it was about 37 degrees out.




























 Dan and Trisha are all about having a good time and enjoying life.  See them just break out into dance!!  Why not.




 Wow, look at the sunset colors.  I could not have painted it better myself.  Love Arizona!
 Dan singing a song to his lovely bride!  Yes, he sings too!


 A couple that Tebow's together stays together.
 Yes, that is Batman and Robin.  Seriuosly this wedding just keeps getting better and better.

 Again I do not post a lot of reception pictures, but look at this crowd.  They danced like this all night, non-stop.

 Happy New Year!! What a way to end 2011.  One of my busiest years so far, out with a great couple along with their friends and family.


On a bit of a serious note, Dan and Trisha are incredible.  Their presence is big and positive.  While photographing the ceremony, seeing the smiles, tears, beautiful colors in the sky, sounds I was reminded of just how privileged I am to be a wedding photographer!  Yes, I know I get paid, but the moments I witness, that I was allowed to be there.  Amazing.  This couple is amazing.  I feel that God speaks to us through others.  Dan and Trisha would be others.  Thank you for allowing me to photograph your wedding.  I was honored!

AMAZING that's what these two wonderful children of God are!
So honored to have been a witness to their vows to each other and God. May your days together be fruitful and FUN! I loved how the pastor said, "You are not marrying the person you are looking at today. You are marrying the little girl/guy of yesterday and the woman/man of tomorrow." That takes understanding and patience and is a blessing!! You have them both Trisha and Dan. Love, Nancy & Joe

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 ...
