Ryan and Stephanies Beautiful Wedding at Villa Siena

 Stephanie and Ryan!  What a beautiful, young, special, creative couple they are!  I loved photographing their engagement pictures and of course their amazing wedding.  How do I explain the connection I have with them?  Stephanie and Ryan are very good friends with my son's new in-laws family.  Not only that, my son and Stephanie were on the swim together in high school.  Getting to know Stephanie and Ryan through photographing them has been a great experience.  Even through emails with Stephanie you sensed how kind she is.  This lovely couple have been friends since high school then started dated several years after.  They compliment each other  perfectly.

  On the wedding day when I walked into the room where Stephanie was getting ready I was blown away by her beauty.  I kept saying to Misti "she is a beautiful bride".  It was raining most of the day, but neither Stephanie nor Ryan seem to let it bother them.  I was so happy when it stopped raining just after the ceremony and we could take advantage of the beautiful grounds Villa Siena had to offer.   Thank you so much Stephanie and Ryan for allowing me to photograph your special day! 





 This above image made me laugh.  I thought it was funny how Ellen (on the tv in the background) and Stephanie are both laughing.  I did eventually ask if we could turn the tv off.:-) 














































 I wanted to try some things with Stephanie's veil.  She was so ready to take it off.  Thank you for keeping it in just a little longer!


















 They hand made all these music sheet flowers!  Incredible!

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.
