We have been so busy creating albums lately! We have had 9 albums to do in the last 3 or 4 months and i’m so happy that I only have 3 more to do! I love album designing because it really is the final product of the wedding and really tells a story of the day! I thought I would share a few of my favorite spreads from Mark and Lisa’s beautiful wedding up at the Four Seasons!

Mark and Lisa are getting a beautiful 10×10 Flushmount album. I’m so excited to see the final product and can’t wait to show you all pictures of how gorgeous this album is once it’s produced!

Jamie + Louie | Scottsdale Wedding Photography

Saturday I had the lovely pleasure to shoot an amazing wedding!!! Jamie and Louie were married and it was quite an event!

Amina, with Some Like it Classic, did an amazing job planning this event. It was beautiful and went so smoothly. The decorations were amazing and it was a great way to start off my 2010 weddings!

The weather was incredible as well. Yes, it was a little chilly, in the 40’s and 50’s, but considering we had tornado crazy storm weather just a few days before, we were so thankful that there was no rain and the sun was out! The clouds were amazing and really made for a great backdrop!

Below are some of my favorites from the day!!

My favorite makeup artist, Sarah SanMarco did Jamie’s makeup, and as usual did a phenomenal job!

You will see many images off this little guy, he kinda stole the show!!

I love it when Bride and Grooms give gifts to each other, it makes for some great pictures, especially when they are amazing new Coach bags!!!

Aren’t they so cute?

I LOVED the clouds, just beautiful!

A new favorite!!

And another new favorite. I LOVE this image.

Louie added his own touch with killer white sneakers!!

I told you that this little guy stole the show! Tux and all!!

A laptop at a ceremony??? I believe they were video conferencing the wedding. AWESOME!

The Family!

I told you the event was decorated fabulously! Look at this!! Great job Amina!

Angelic Grove did all of the florals and did amazing!

Love this first dance shot!

And the party was awesome!

A beautiful end to a beautiful night!

Thank you Louie and Jamie for allowing me to be a part of your day! It was truly amazing and I wish you both the very best!

James | HS Senior Pictures | Photographer Arizona

When James’ mom called me up for the first time to talk about Senior pictures she said that she had to have me do his pictures because she wanted something fresh and different. She had so many clothing ideas and fashion images to show me to get an idea of what she wanted. It was fun; I love it when mom’s are excited about the shoot! I hadn’t met James yet, but she said he was really good looking and would do great!! Ha!!! It was true, when James showed up I knew we would get some great pictures!!

I had so much fun on this shoot!! These are only a few as there were so many good ones,

High School Seniors are a lot of fun for me and I love photographing them. I can’t wait to see what next year involves!!!

James, wants to be a fire fighter so we got permission to go take pictures at the fire department. I have to tell you, this was a lot of fun!

Thanks Keri and James! You guys rock!!

Heather + Chris | Desert Botanical Gardens | Scottsdale Wedding Photographer

I have only posted one wedding from this Fall and it makes me sad, so i’m going to go back and find these amazing weddings so that I can share them with you!!!

Heather and Chris were married in September at the Desert Botanical Gardens. It really was an amazing day and I had a blast. I photographed Heather’s sister’s senior portraits, so I was ecstatic when they called and asked me to photograph Heather’s wedding. I love getting to photograph families special events!

Chris and Heather are one of a kind! They both met in Band in college… the funny thing is that they went to different Schools in different states!!! They hit it, off and after a long distance relationship tied the knot!

Here are some of my favorites from the wedding.

I love this shot of Heather. She was having so much fun being goofy and walking up to Chris for their first look.

The Desert Botanical Gardens is so amazing to shoot. There are so many great locations that make for great pictures!!

Heather really wanted this shot!! So much fun!

Aren’t those girls so cute! I love flower girls!

I know it’s been awhile but Congratulations you two!!!! It was a beautiful day!!
