Susan and Jason were married in October at Villa Siena in Gilbert, Arizona! Jason is the Publisher of Arizona Golf Central Magazine and both he and Susan really wanted unique photos that would capture the unique spirit of their spectacular event. We certainly hope we delivered :-)!
This wedding truly was beyond belief! Susan previously lived in Venice, Italy (so jealous) and wanted her wedding to capture the spirit of Venice and an evening at Carnival, for which the city is famous. Villa Siena, a beautiful Tuscan-style villa, was the perfect setting for the Venice Carnival Theme. To complete that theme, each guest was given a hand-made mask designed and shipped in from Venice, Italy and they dined on delicious Italian food in a sea of ostrich feather centerpieces. A Victorian lady-in-white, stiltwalker and court jester were there to greet and entertain guests thereby completing the feel of Carnival. This was an amazing event to be a part of! Thank you both so much for having us as your wedding photographers and a big thank you to our Associate Photographer, Angie, for coming along and helping as a third photographer! Enjoy!
Today was the first of several wedding ceremonies we are photographing for Bebe and Dagogo in Nigeria, Africa. This was called the Iya Traditional Marriage and involved Dagogo and his family traveling to Bebe's village to receive approval from the village Chief. We had such an amazing experience immersing ourselves in the local culture and everyone was so welcoming and kind ... there are really no words for an experience like this :-)! Simply beautiful! Much more to come on this ceremony and the wedding as a whole!

It was hard to even do a "sneak peak" of this wedding because it was so awesome and there are so many good photos to choose from! Jodi and Mike were married in early October in Happy Jack, Arizona. What, you don't know where that is???? It is a tiny town just outside Flagstaff on the way to Payson. We can't wait to share more of this wonderful and super-fun wedding!!
The day after their elopement, Keary and Jesse headed back out into the great unknown to do their Trash the Dress shoot. We first went to Antelope Canyon, which is spectacular beyond words. It's landscape of deep red carved walls are the definition of art in nature. We were so glad they were up for this suggestion. Not only have we always wanted to do a trash the dress shoot in Antelope Canyon, but it provided Keary and Jesse with truly unique wedding photographs that very few people can say they have. From there we headed out to Horseshoe Bend and finished in the water at Lake Powell. Simply a magical day :-)!
Maya & Spencer:
Omg! These pics are beautiful! Getting excited for next July:-)!!!
I just got done editing these photos and had to do a posting for these two - after all Keary is a self-admitted blog stalker, so how could I deny her seeing her own wedding on here :-). Keary and Jesse eloped back in September at the Coves at Lake Powell, Arizona. These two came all the way from Massachusetts to the wide open spaces of the west to get married and it was a very long road for them to get here - in every sense of the word. We couldn't be more happy that they finally traveled that road and that they allowed us to be a part of it! Keary and Jesse, it was so wonderful spending those two warm late-September days getting to know you both. We had a wonderful time and wish you both a lifetime of happiness!!

LOVE!!
