Valerie and Michael – Arizona Historical Society – Wedding in Tempe,Arizona

I can’t believe that I’m just now getting this wedding posted. We have been so slammed here lately and I really wanted to show a lot of the details of this wedding since they were so amazing, so it took a little longer than usual. So sorry Valerie and Michael… but hopefully the pictures were worth the wait!!

Valerie and Michael had a Desert Themed Wedding at the Arizona Historical Society in Tempe, AZ. It truly was an amazing event. Valeries flowers and decorations were all Succulents, which pertained to their Desert Theme. It was also all eco friendly.. and we LOVE green weddings.

Considering Valerie and Michael planned this event from out of the State I was very impressed!

We started the day out with getting ready pictures. Valeries family and friends were all from Miami, so it was a big reunion.

Valerie and Michael saw each other before for pictures. Michael is one of the most intimate men I’ve met, and his love for Valerie is so evident in the way he looks at her and treats her. Their moment was amazing!

We were planning on taking pictures in downtown Tempe, but it was the weekend of the Music Festival, so plans quickly changed. I found this great location and got some great shots.


We then headed back to the Historical Society and took some Desert Pictures around the property. The Wedding party met up with us for a few as well.

Isn’t this Bouquet amazing? It’s so different than anything I’ve ever seen before. Heather Gentry did a great job with it!

Ok, isn’t this such a cute little one?? She reminded me so much of my Kailee!!

A moment for the Mr. and Mrs.!!

Some more amazing details.

It was a great setting for a wedding!

Love this first dance shot.

Party time!!!

Thanks Valerie and Michael… you are amazing!

2-Day Sedona Intensive Announced

Jen and I are excited to release the details of the 2-day intensive workshop in Sedona, Arizona! This workshop arose out of both Kimberly and Jennifer receiving emails from previous workshop attendees and other photographers out there asking for a more advanced type of workshop/training. In an effort to help others with specific challenges and questions, we put together this intensive workshop together that addresses the business side of photography.

We hope you can join us Friday, August 7-Sunday, August 9, 2009 for what is sure to be a jam-packed weekend full of learning, fun and friendship building. This workshop will marry both the art of photography with the critical business skills necessary for success. Click here for all the details.
