Speical Love Between Alan and Ashley at Firerock

 When I met Ashley and Alan for the first time it was to take their engagement pictures.  Up until that moment I had only been in contact with Ashley's dad.  It can be a little awkward meeting under the circumstance for the first time of me photographing you kissing and hugging.  It was not!!  First of all when they walked up it was like someone told them that I love J Crew so dress accordingly.  They were so well put together with style.  It was very comfortable and easy going.  After our photographic meeting I knew the wedding would be very special with a lot stylish detail.





 Everything was held at Firerock Country Club.  It was spectacular to say the least.  Details, details, details that were perfect.  I'm sure I was overly impressed because I have a love affair with books.  One day I will have a library in my house, no doubt. 






















Bouquet's fabulous, just like everything else. 



























 When I shoot a wedding I feel it is very important to take a lot of details type shots.  For the main reason that my bride and groom will mostly like not remember how it all looked when it was all said and done.  Wedding day's go so fast, it is like a whirlwind.  In general I do not post a lot of these detail shots on my blog when blogging, I mostly focus on the bride and groom.  This reception setup was so stunning, just like every thing else I had to post!










 Alan and Ashley truly complement each other, with personality, style and beauty.  I find myself getting somewhat emotionaly invested with my couples.  I love to hear their story or stories about them.  I take being a wedding photographer very personal and really want to be able to tell "the" story.  At the reception the speeches given at this wedding were extra special.  At one point I had turn my head to wipe the tears.  Very special family love here!!




 Alan and his crew doing a little Gangnam Style to impress Ashely.  I think it worked, they did a great job.

 My lovely friend Heather stayed in town an extra day to help me cover this wedding, thank you so much!!  I think she benefited from it, after all it was a photographer's paradise.  Alan and Ashley thank you for the privilege of being your wedding photographer.

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 ...
