It was 18 months ago… Peter was at a family gathering at a local greek restaurant. He was enjoying his family and honoring the life of his grandfather when he looked over… and in that moment his life changed forever. He caught eyes with the beautiful hostess and felt something unexpected. It was everything he […]

I love a good reception!  Nothing says ‘fun’ at a wedding like when the entire guest list is going nuts on the dance floor!  We just shot a wedding on Saturday, in fact, that had some of the craziest dancing I have seen; for at least a half hour, all the Ukrainians at the wedding […]

Last summer at a wedding Emily and I shot in Ojai, CA, we were enjoying Troy and Rachel’s outdoor reception with some of the groomsmen. We were just chatting about random things when we met Tyler. He mentioned that he and his fiancé were getting married in the near future and we struck up the […]

You have spent HOURS/DAYS/WEEKS/MONTHS planning this wedding and you want people to appreciate all your hard work! Right? When your guests show up and look around, you want them to be blown away with all the time, preparation, sweat, tears and MONEY (because we all know weddings aren’t cheap 🙂 that went into this thing!

Happy Monday to all of our incredible blog readers! We hope that you all had an incredible Easter filled with people that you love celebrating the resurrection of our Savior. 🙂 Andrew and I had a packed weekend full of shoots, a gorgeous wedding that we cannot wait to share, and then lots of time […]

Logan and Alison brought some amazing outfits to this shoot, including a retro-themed golf outfit that they downplayed like it wasn’t a big deal. 🙂 Also, not many photographers have had the chance to shoot a […]

Have you ever done a Trust Fall? I have seen this done as a team-building exercise. It’s pretty much the same, whether it’s at a summer camp or an employee seminar for team-building; one person gets up on a ridiculously high platform, turns their back to the drop, and then falls backwards to everyone else […]

We laughed our way through this e-session 🙂 All the way from the bridge at Tempe Town Lake to the people-packed streets of downtown Tempe and Mill Avenue, we laughed and talked and just had fun. Joe and Gabby are casually blissful; they love so naturally you almost miss it if you don’t have a […]

Stressed about your wedding day?  Planning it all on your own or maybe you didn’t hire the right planner?  Having second thoughts about the DJ you hired or maybe the photographer?  Purchased your dress but aren’t sure if you feel as beautiful in it as you wanted to?  These are questions in your head that […]

Eric and I walked from the church sanctuary to the prayer garden where he was going to see Gillean for the first time on their wedding day.  He and Gillean walked to the prayer garden regularly after mass to enjoy spending time together, so we loved the idea of doing their first look there.  Today […]
