What happens when the beautiful daughter of the owner of the Hotel Valley Ho and the talented handsome son of the pastor of Scottsdale Bible Church decide to get married on a beautiful March day? Well, when you add in the fact that they used some of the most amazing vendors in the state of Arizona, you get a wedding that blows your socks off and some amazingly beautiful and gorgeous pictures!!!

On Saturday I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Aaron and Amber, two of the nicest and genuine people I’ve ever met. The day couldn’t have gone any better as it was  coordinated by the wonderful girls at Outstanding Occasions. The Hotel Valley Ho is one of my favorite places and has so many great photography locations. The Outstanding Occasions girls decorated the place amazingly including draperies, flowers by the girls at Camelback Flowershops, and amazing lighting. It was a true production.

Photography was no different. I wanted to make sure that we caught everything so we had a team of 4 girls at the wedding! I loved it and I LOVE my team. They caught everything and did such a great job. I couldn’t be happier with the results that we got.

I started the day hanging out with the girls in one of the Pent Houses of the Hotel. I could have shot in there all day and actually did shoot all of the bridals and girls pictures in the room. Pure Eye Candy and a photographers dream.

AMAZING RING!!

Amber’s dress was PERFECT. From what I overheard, she actually had another dress and the seamstress messed it up, so she had to get another one, and the new dress was THE ONE. It was so much better than the previous and truly looked AMAZING on Amber.

The beautiful flowers by Camelback Flowershop.

I love this shot that K.Bee got of one of Amber’s sisters.

Stunning dress right?

I love this shot of Amber’s mom laughing. It was good times all around!

Amazing shot that K.Bee got of the flowers.

Final touches.

A few Bridals… well ok, a lot of Bridals. I’m telling you this place was a dream to photograph and Amber was even more of a dream to photograph. She’s stunning!

Breathtaking!!

A FAV of the day! In Love with this shot.

We then took some of the girls. 3 of the 4 girls are all Amber’s sisters. They actually could all have passed as sisters and were all amazingly beautiful.

We then headed off to the guys.

Aaron is a musician so it was fun to take some musician like pictures of the groomsmen. Think Band Cover!!

A little Off Camera Lighting.

Another new FAV!!

Love this pic of Aaron.

We took a lot of images and I have a ton of favorites, so look back for Part II of this post tomorrow. It will include Ceremony, Bride and Groom, and Reception images!!

I have never done a “Bridal Session” until Kimberlee asked me to do one of her. I know all of you from the south are in shock right now. Bridal sessions are very popular in most states, but here in AZ we just do an engagement session and then do a few bridals the day of the wedding; however, I really like the idea of a bridal session for a couple of reasons.

1) Usually on the day of the wedding everything is going so fast and one of the first things that get’s cut is a lot of pictures of the bride. How sad. So a bridal session is a great way to get some really amazing pictures.

2) The bride spends so much time getting ready, finding her perfect dress, getting her hair and makeup flawless. I know for me personally I have never looked as good as I did on my wedding day, so having pictures of this time in your life is important.

Some people will do bridals before hand and others will do it after the wedding. Either way, be prepared to do things that you wouldn’t do on the day of the wedding. Be prepared to get some really fun and neat pictures.

I LOVE how Kimberlee’s bridals turned out. She is a stunning bride and everytime I take pictures of her I am in awe with how well she photographs. I worked on them all night last night and found some new favorites. Here are few of my favs.
