Friday, August 17, 2012 Posted in 09:: News & Press

 

This year has been a pretty amazing year and it just keeps getting better. I have to admit, I LOVE seeing my work published. It’s kind of the frosting on the cake for me. So, when I went the annual Arizona Weddings Magazine party this summer and saw that not just a couple of my images, but a plethora of my images were featured all over the magazine, I did a pretty big happy dance.

I love that most of my brides get published somehow or another. It’s one of my goals because I know it’s a pretty amazing feeling to be walking around a store, pull open a magazine, and see your shining face or a piece of your wedding in a magazine.

We wanted to share with you some of the amazing weddings that got published this year in the Arizona Weddings Magazine. And be sure to stop by your local store and pick one of these babies up, it’s jam packed full with some pretty amazing stuff to plan your wedding!! It’s HUGE!!

Love this full page spread featuring Bret & Jessica’s wedding & Brandon and Kristen’s wedding.

Andrea, did you see this? Full Page image? Gosh Andrea is beautiful!

I was so honored when the magazine asked me to do a shoot with the just for the magazine. Since this was the magazines 25th anniversary, we shot the best 25 dresses. I loved how these spreads came out.

WISH SALON | BUSINESS PORTRAIT SESSION

Wednesday, August 15, 2012 Posted in 04:: Portraits

 

Have you ever seen prettier girls? I mean really? These girls are smokin!!

Taryn, the owner of Wish Salon, is a great friend of mine and an amazing hair stylist. She has styled countless of my brides hair, my high school seniors, and me too!

Awhile back we got together to do a shoot for her website. She got together some of the most gorgeous girls around and styled their hair like none other. We then went into fashion mode and got some great pictures of the girls. I love the images we got and thought we must share!

And this is Taryn… gorgeous isn’t she? I think she pulled off the modeling quite well if you ask me.

MARV + CINDY | VOW RENEWAL AT THE COPPERWYND RESORT

Monday, August 13, 2012 Posted in 01:: Weddings

(Photography by Kimberly Jarman: Main & Jennifer: 2nd Photographer)

Cindy and Marv have become “those” type of clients that aren’t “just” clients, they are different and special and more than just a client. When I got into photography I got into it because I love people. I love the friendships and relationships I build with my clients and I cherish them. I remember every wedding and portrait session I’ve ever photographed. When a client calls me and says, you shot my wedding 4 years ago, you probably don’t remember me, I tell them honestly that I do remember them and I can mentally see those pictures in my mind. So, when I get a client that goes over and beyond to show me that i’m not just a “photographer”, but a friend and part of the family, it really makes me happy and feel warm inside.

I photographed the Corsbie family last Christmas for the first time. Their entire family was in town and they hadn’t had family portraits done in years, so they asked me to photograph  their family. We had a wonderful time, and through their session, the numerous emails that went back and forth, the ordering/preview session, I got to really know Cindy and Marv and love them. When they asked me to photograph their 40th Vow renewal I was very excited to do so.

One day, as I was going through the mail, I saw a letter from Cindy and Marv. It was actually their Vow renewal invitation and they personally wrote on it that they would love for my family to join them for the ceremony and for dinner. They asked me to bring my daughter and my husband a long. They then invited us to stay the night at the CopperWynd Resort with them so that we could have a little getaway. I’ve never been asked this before, so I was taken aback and told my husband that we were taking them up on the offer.

The day of the event came and my daughter was so excited to go to a wedding with mommy (she wants to be my assistant already at 4). We showed up early and relaxed as guests, enjoyed the pool, and the views from the resort. At 4:00 we finished getting ready for the event and then Jennifer (my 2nd shooter) and I met up to start the shooting. We photographed Cindy getting ready, the family portraits, details, and then the wonderful Ceremony. It was a beautiful day, especially for June and couldn’t have been more perfect.

At dinner Cindy and Marv asked me to put away the camera and enjoy dinner with them and the family. We did, and had a wonderful night, while Kailee played with all the other kids and we got an “adult” night out!

The next day we were invited to brunch as well and got to sit and get to know Cindy and Marv’s closest friends and family. We truly felt like family.

So this event is special to me, in the sense that this family has become like family to me and I cherish them deeply. Also, Cindy and Marv celebrated 40 years and they are still so in love. I value that and applaud them for that. You two are an amazing example of how it’s done right. Thank you Cindy and Marv.

Cindy looked amazing!

Cindy loves her grandkids and they sure do love her as well. I love these pictures of the girls.

 

Family Portrait time

I love this image of Marv before the ceremony.

Another favorite of Marv and his grandson.

My beautiful daughter joined us and loved being a guest. She now thinks that everyone should get married.

The ceremony included all of their family and was so beautiful.

Cindy and Marv wanted to make sure that all of the guests got a pictures of themselves. These turned out lovely.

I love my portrait time!

The kids had their own table and loved all the activities.

This was the book that they had ordered from their family session.

The next day I joined the family for brunch and got out and photographed all the kids for a bit. It was fun.

 

Thank you Cindy and Marv. You two are wonderful people. We are very thankful that you are now in our lives and look forward to many more family sessions in the future.

Last night, when Marv and I viewed your blog together, we were brought to tears remembering our special day and all of God’s blessings.

kimberlyjarman - Thank you so much Mindy.. You guys are making me tear up today:):)

August 14, 2012 - 11:53 am

Mindy - Kimberly – The pictures are terrific! Once again, you have captured the love of family & friends at this special 40th Anniversary occasion. Unfortunately, we were not able to be there for the ceremony – but with your pictures I feel that we were a part of the day!! So thank you!!

Each day, I treasure the 2011 Family Christmas photos that you took for us! It was a very special occasion and you captured our family perfectly! So glad that Cindy found you – and I’m even more proud that you feel part of the Corsbie-Rasmussen family – we welcome you with open arms!

Mindy – Cindy’s Sister from Bismarck ND
