We photographed Kendall and Ryan a few weeks ago in Flagstaff for their engagement shoot. They brought along their adorable Yorkie-Poo, Keighley to pose in some of the photos (and I must say, she did a great job.) Ryan's grandmother also came along and was nice enough to "babysit" Keighley in the down time :-).
The weather looked menacing but held out long enough for us to finish the shoot, at which time it poured. Kendall and Ryan, we had a great time and are looking forward to your wedding in July ... wow, not to far away :-). See you then!



















OK, I admit it ... I am drowning right now between deadlines and traveling for weddings, which is why I am sooooo beind on my blogging. After the next two engagement postings, I still have 4 weddings to blog and 2 more will be added to that list after this coming weekend. So for all of those clients patiently waiting to catch a sneak peak, I swear I haven't forgotten you and I will get to them as soon as I can :-).
On to Robin and Jeff's engagement shoot. We conducted this shoot a few weeks ago in Sedona - Red Rock Crossing and Merry-Go-Round Rock to be precise. Though it began with a little rain it cleared out nicely, leaving us with a great sky and beautiful light.
Robin and Jeff, it was a pleasure getting to know you both better and we can't wait for your wedding in October! Enjoy the sneak peak!



























Two weeks ago Amber and Troy traveled to Phoenix from Los Angeles for their wedding at the always spectacular Desert Botanical Gardens (one of my very favorite venues)!! The Chihuly exhibit was still going on, making for great backdrops to photos. Troy is a director and couldn't resist getting behind the cameras every now and again - I totally understand though. I was the same way at my own wedding last year :-).
There were many special elements to this wedding including Troy's mom officiating the ceremony, which made for some wonderfully tender moments. The most exicting element though was Amber's pregnancy. I loved her attitude towards being five months pregnant and wearing a wedding dress - her words, "it's obvious, so I figured why not flaunt it!" And that she did in her lovely sheath gown ... you go girl :-)!! She was absolutely radiant!! The final special element was the couple's decision to reveal their baby's gender with the unveiling of the cake ... the topper - a pair of blue baby shoes ... it's a boy!!
Amber and Troy, thank you so much for having us as your wedding photographers. You were a genuine delight to get to know! Seriously, you are two of the nicest, most genuine people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting! We wish you all the best in life :-)!








































Recently we met with Liane and Andy to photograph their engagement shoot. They both have roots in
Liane and Andy, it was a pleasure getting to know you both! Enjoy!

























A couple of weeks ago we met up with Sarah and Brady to photograph their engagement shoot. We met at Scottsdale Fashion Square and let the shoot spill over into Old Town Scottsdale ... both are situated next to each other and have an overabundance of fun and wonderful backdrops to use :-).
This shoot was conducted during Phoenix's record breaking May heatwave and it was HOT!! Really HOT!! Sarah and Brady did great though and we treated them to a fun play session in the water fountain at the end.
Sarah and Brady, you were so much fun to work with and we can't wait to shoot your wedding next year at the beautiful "Castle" in Chandler :-)!! Until then ... enjoy!
