Emily and Seth married… in Pinetop, Arizona | Pinetop Country Club | Wedding Photography

Seth and Emily were married in my hometown this last Saturday, Pinetop, Arizona!!!! They were married at the Pinetop Country Club, and it was an absolutely amazing day. It rained the entire week before so everyone was wondering how the day was going to go, but things worked out! There was rain, but only once we had finished the pictures that we needed and once the outside ceremony was over. I swear i’m the luckiest photographer ever!

There are so many pictures that i’m going to share with you all because it really was a spectacular day. A ton of details and amazing moments.

I also had the wonderful pleasure of having my very good photographer friend, Jennifer Bowen, come along and shoot with me. I have included a few of my favorites that she took below.. i’ll be sure to point them out!

I loved all the Pinecones that they used. It really made for some fun details. Jen got this great shot of Seth’s cufflinks.

I love this moment between Emily and her sister.

More details.. Aren’t these rings gorgeous?

Jen hung out with the guys and nailed a very cool shot of Seth playing golf. Look at the ball in motion!

And I LOVE this shot… I didn’t realize what it was when I first saw the picture and then I saw that the guys were watching YouTube to figure out how to fold a pocket square!! Awesome.

I Love it when Bride and Groom’s see each other before. Jen got an amazing shot of Emily coming out the door and I got this great shot of Seth’s reaction. Timeless!!

Absolute Favorites!!!

Jen set up this awesome umbrella shot. I have to give her credit for the setup.. I love it.

One thing I love about Pinetop is that you have green… yes green and colors and it’s not desert! I love this wedding party picture with all the color around! And look at those clouds.. it had just stopped raining so we could get this shot.

Jen got this amazing shot of the little flower girl. She was so precious.

I LOVE this shot. It started to rain just as we finished the girls pictures so Emily and the little flower girl were running back to shelter.

 

Amazing details of the ceremony. Courtney with All Occasion Florals did an AMAZING job with all the flowers. I totally recomend them and they are local to Pinetop!

I Love the picture to the left because of the Ushers. They were so much fun.

Also the guitarist was AMAZING!! His information is below and I hear he is a valley local and trust me, you want him to sing at your wedding.

When Seth proposed he proposed by putting the ring on a fishing pole, so the little ring bearer walked down the aisle with the rings on a fishing pole. So cute.

Love this shot Jen got.

The wonderful thing about having friends shoot with you is that they get some great “In Action” Shots. Jen got some really good shots of me in action and I wanted to show them off.

Bride & Groom Models

Are you a couple that recently got married but wish you had more fun/urban/trendy magazine style pictures in your gown and suit (or tux)?

Either way, this is your chance to get some free images by serving as models for a photography workshop!Â

Couples MUST supply their own attire for this shoot and “brides” please note your gown WILL GET DIRTY. You can bring the dress you got married in and still have hanging in your closet, or you can buy a super-affordable white dress/gown from Craigs List, Ebay, a consignment store or even the David’s Bridal $99 dress sale.Â

Couples MUST submit a few images of themselves (close up and full length if you have one – snapshots are fine) as well as the attire they plan to wear for the shoot. We very much need couples who are comfortable in front of the camera and affectionate with one another.

The session will last approximately 20-30 minutes and be in Mesa on the date above.

The session will last approximately 15-20 minutes and be in Mesa on the date above.

*******

Family with young children
Families who need some updated photographs, here is your chance! We are looking for a family of 3-5 people with children, ideally in the toddler to pre-teen range, but we will consider others as well.

The session will last approximately 15-20 minutes in the late afternoon/early evening on the date listed above. The session will take place in Mesa.

2nd Annual Pictures in the Pines – Pinetop/Lakeside Family Portraits

I’m so excited to announce our 2nd Annual Pictures in the Pines.

June 1-6 I will be taking portraits exclusively in the Pinetop/Showlow area.

If you haven’t had family pictures taken in awhile or were wanting to get some taken, now is the time to do it. Get out of the heat of the Valley and take a day trip, weekend trip, or heck even the whole week, to go up to Pinetop and enjoy the cool weather.

We have a couple of amazing locations to take pictures in and they are unlike anything that you will get in the valley. Green, trees, beautiful fields. I promise you will love it.

The price is $500 and with that you will receive a credit worth $300 to purchase prints.

BUT

I am going to do something i’ve never ever ever done before…….

The First 4 families that book a session (Monday – Friday) will receive the entire session fee as a credit for prints. That means that when you pay $500 for your session, all $500 goes towards prints. (this is not available for the Saturday session.)

I’m not sure if I will ever do this again, so you should all take advantage of it now!!!

Call us to schedule your time. We only have a few sessions available and are going to book fast.

480.203.1090.

Can’t wait to see you all up there… i’m so excited for the cool weather!

Mothers Day Gift… great idea. Photography!!!!

Jason emailed me the week before mothers day because he wanted to get some pictures of him and his sister for his mother for her mothers day gift. How sweet is that? What an awesome present for a mom!!! I met up with Jason and his sister last week and we had so much fun getting some fun shots! It’s so different taking pictures of a brother and sister, so we had to come up with some fun things to do! Here are some of my favs!
