Katherine and her family are dear friends of mine.  I’m sure I was feeding wedding magazines to Ms. Katherine before Brad popped the question, but that’s alright, right!!!!?  I just knew that Katherine was going to make a beautiful bride and she already had her eyes on “the one”.  So yes, maybe we started talking weddings early, but that’s perfectly normal!

This family happens to be SO VERY talented in the music arena,  I think each person was born knowing how to play any instrument they touched.  At the end of the night, the reception moved to another room where the family jammed out to old school Irish ditties while guests enjoyed milk and cookies.  Scrumptious to the ears and tummies!

We were so excited to photograph their wedding, but even more thrilled to see Katherine and Brad getting married!

One of their signature drinks was a Lawnmower, which was wheatgrass and vodka…yum??

We have a beautiful, “wow” wedding to love on today!  It’s hard not to be head over heals when we get to see weddings like this through our lenses.  The colors, the details, the amazing couple – I could go on and on and on . . .  I’m sure you remember Lata and Justin from their engagement shoot.  This was an amazing week of stories and new memories for them.  Brace yourselves!  This wedding celebration included vibrance, vivation, and a VERY touching traditional celebration full of razzle-dazzle and many elements.

We always love when our Bride and Groom chose to do a first look before the ceremony.  It is such a special moment for the two of them.

Despite the fact that Holly and Chris traveled to Arizona from Wisconsin when we were having record lows, they still had a blast and a story to tell upon their returned home.  Traveling to Arizona in the winter where temperatures end up being colder than freezing Lake Geneva where their nuptial will take place this July is so funny to me.  Holly happens to be Nick’s sweet cousin, so we also got to mix in a bit of family fun and talk of wedding plans during their visit.  Enjoy some Arizona scenery and a beautiful couple.  We are so excited to capture there wedding this summer!

Adorable Dana and Teague have been dating since their high school days!  Now that college is coming to a close for both of them, it’s time to plan an amazing 2012 wedding!  We are SO very excited to shoot  their wedding at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Phoenix.  This Historic venue and theatre originally opened in 1929 and we’re ecstatic to capture their memories in a place that holds so many memories of its own.

We are always getting asked, “what to wear?”  Whatever your style, let it shine!  You can choose to go casual, formal, or anything in between.  Or mix it up and make a couple outfit changes.  Who knows if we end the shoot on formal, maybe you’ll have a great excuse to go out on the town after pictures.  Dana chose to set hair and make-up appointments for her e-session.  We all know that the camera loves a little extra primping, plus it’s so much fun!

First things first, their wedding ceremony… what I loved was that the officiating Priest happened to be the same Priest that married Nick & I  back in 2005.  Way cool!  He said he remembered us and I’m just going to believe him because that made me feel special!!

A little something awesome about the couple – Nadia and Shaun met while attending a Salsa dancing class together.  I’m sure Shaun attended the classes on a very committed basis once he laid eyes on Nadia.  She had moves he hadn’t seen!  Yes, they danced the night away at the reception, but not before sneaking in a salsa number.  It was fantastic!!

With Shaun’s hilarious personality and Nadia’s sweet style this couple has embarked on happily ever-after!
