A couple of years back, we photographed the wedding of a couple named Heather and Matt. Since that time, they have become regular clients of ours as well as really good friends! Well, now we have a new Heather and Matt. They call themselves the "other Heather and Matt" and we love these two just as much ... just seems to be something with those names that we really get along with :-).
Anyhow, the "other Heather and Matt" were married this past Saturday in Scottsdale. Their ceremony took place at Paradise Valley Methodist Church and their reception was held at McCormick Ranch Golf Club. If anyone in Arizona was alive and awake that day, they know that the weather was horrible everywhere, with snow in the high country and a lot of rain in the valley, but that didn't stop this couple from having their perfect day! They went into the dreary day with high hopes for a better outcome later in the afternoon, and if not, they figured, oh well, they would have unique photos of a rainy wedding - something most couples don't see often on their wedding day in Arizona.
Boy, did they ever get unique photos!! It did continue to rain ... but at the same time came the sun and you know what that produces ... big, vibrant, full, double rainbows that dominate the sky!! WOW ... SPECTACULAR!!! Thank you both for having us as your wedding photographers and thanks for trusting in our vision and taking a moment at the end to step outside in the rain for a few more portraits (see photo above) ... told you it would be worth it! Hope you love the sneak peak and have a fabulous time in Thailand!!
Special thanks to Gretchen at Imoni Events, www.imonievents.com , for putting together such a beautiful event, and to our Associate Photographer, Angie, for helping out and getting some great pics :-)!!






























































Every spring there is a wildlife spectacle in Florida that nature photographers and birders alike come to witness from all over the world. It is the annual nesting rookery at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm and for anyone who loves birds, it is a real treat in every way. Here, on one short boardwalk constructed over a swamp you can view Roseate Spoonbills, Tricolored Herons, Wood Storks, Snowy, Cattle and Great Egrets and many more species playing out every stage of the nesting process and May is prime time for the chicks to make their debut into the world. It is a wonderous sight and I always love having a chance to watch them during this early stage of life :-)!






































I had NO idea ya'll were going to post this! I have never seen these! What a "treat" for sure! Have I ever told ya'll how much I love and admire your photography and what a pleasure it is to be learning from the two of you?!! I adore you two like you'll never understand! Beautiful pictures!!! Love them!

While we were in Florida this past May for Liane and Andy's wedding we took time to visit some of my favorite wildlife hotspots and get back to nature. It was spring and all the birds and reptiles were out either looking for mates, laying eggs or raising their young. I just love this time of year in Florida for wildlife photography :-).


















































Liane and Andy decided to have a day-after shoot - imagine this - the day after the wedding :-). They had limited time on the wedding day to do formals since they opted not to see one another before the ceremony and just wanted to take a little more time to get some great shots on the stunning beach where they were married.











Liane and Andy are two of our favorite clients. We had an instant connection from the first time we met them for their engagement shoot and were so honored to follow them to Florida for their beautiful beachside wedding!
Their wedding took place this past May in Clearwater Beach, Florida at the Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort. The water was clear (true to it's name) and blue, the sand was a blinding snow white, and the temperatures were balmy ... so, all in all, a perfect central Florida day :-)!
























































The had such a perfect day! These rain and reception shots are amazing!
