When I heard JB, a friend of mine from college, had found his match – I was ecstatic! JB has the kindest heart and I feel like I’ve known Tamara for years. Her girlfriends may have given her a hard time for being so organized, but because of all these special touches and details it really made their Sedona wedding even more amazing. Speaking of details, Tamara said she had nothing to do with this, but the crew pranked JB as he was getting ready on his wedding day. As he goes to put his suit on he finds that the tuxedo shop has given him a black tuxedo, a pink vest, and high water pants…. I must say JB was quick to find out he was being punk’d by his friends and/or soon to be wife. Nick said he was almost in tears laughing so hard when JB’s brother in law Ryan tried on the tux, check out the pictures below and you will know why.
Before the ceremoney started we headed down to Tlaquepaque to capture some amzaing pictures of the bride and groom. On our way back to The Sedona Golf Resort we stopped at a construction site on the side of the road to get a couple fun pics of the couple, I think it was fitting since JB is in the construction business.
Here is the sequence of photos showing JB’s reaction when he opened up the bag and realized it was not his suit and Ryan wearing the tux….the golf shoes make the tux
Nick says to me at the reception during toasts, “Are you taking pictures or are you too busy crying?” Yes, you will find me tearing up sometimes during weddings, but especially at this one because this family happens to be very close friends of ours. So, yes, the happy tears were flowing… Candice and Joby are a fantastic match! We were ecstatic to be capturing their pictures in downtown Phoenix and you know that I was all giddy and excited in my element. Enjoy a fun clip we put together as a gift for the couple to display during their 2nd reception in Joby’s hometown.
With the summer heat in full effect we headed up to the cooler weather in Jerome, AZ to capture Britney and Josh’s engagement session. The old mining town provided a wonderful backdrop for their engagement session. This was one of the funnest engagement shoots of all time! With so many cool locations and such a photogenic couple it was SO hard to narrow down our fav shots…
We are so looking forward to your wedding in November!
Tiff and Scott are two of the nicest people I have ever met and had the pleasure of working with. They go together like peanut butter and grape jelly, totally made for each other! We started out by getting ready at the Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa, we then hopped in the limo to capture some bridal pictures. Along the way one of the bridesmaids requested that the driver pick a random place to stop for a good luck shot. Yes, Tiffanie got carded in her wedding dress! What bride carries her identification with her on her wedding day? It all worked out with some creativity!! Little did we know, the guys stopped at the same place just after we did. Too funny!
We captured some amazing shots of the bride before the ceremony at Page Springs Cellars, which happens to be where Scott proposed to Tiffanie. We were told by an employee at the Springs that there was a great spot on property for pictures. This is when we began our tour of this amazing property. We had no idea how far of a hike it was going to be – all of the ladies were troopers in their high heels making it to our final destination and back.
The wedding took place at Alcantara Vineyards in Cottonwood, AZ. Tiff and Scott were surrounded by their family, close friends and grape vines, as they exchanged their vows in the middle of the vineyard, how cool is that!
Words can’t describe how adorable Maria is! This woman makes you smile and smile and smile – my abs get a work out when we get together. She is from Mexico and he is from England and I just adore their accents . . . and their families. The Buttes hosted their ceremony, officiated by Philip Warring and reception at the Market Cafe on a beautiful day in May. This group told me that they were going to have a fun reception and they did just that! What a great day – check it out . . .
