Lea and Ari were married in a traditional Jewish ceremony on March 21, 2010.  We just love Jewish weddings ... they are so full of tradition and energy, especially during the Hora!  This couple was so wonderful to work with as were their family and friends ... and good thing - we were with them for a long, long time that day :-).  We loved every minute of it!  This is an extra big posting, one: because we were there so long and two: because photography was so very important to these two (Ari is a very accomplished photographer himself and he and Lea spent a lot of time searching for what they felt were the right photographers for them), so we wanted to give them a really nice sneak peak of what is to come.

One last comment on this wedding ... the decor was spectacular!!!  Ever After Florals, www.everafterflorals.com was a huge part of that and they really out did themselves on this one!  Starz Entertainment, www.starzentertainment.net also did an awesome job of keeping the reception energy flowing throughout the evening!  The entire wedding was simply spectacular!  Thank you both for trusting us as your wedding photographers ... it was a true pleasure!

Last month we met up with Heather and Matt (and their two puppy dogs) to photograph Heather's maternity shoot in the Superstition Mountains in Phoenix.  These two are very special to us.  We clicked from the moment we met to discuss their wedding (which took place almost two years ago now.)  Now we are happy to share in their first pregnancy and birth of their little baby, Ava, who we are meeting for the first time tomorrow to do her very first photo shoot :-)!  Thanks guys ... as always, we loved hanging out and catching up!

Jessica and Craig were married February 26, 2010 at the Castle at Ashley Manor in Chandler, Arizona.  This was a beautiful wedding and a perfect day in all repects including the gorgeous weather!!  I loved all the details, including the pink theme.  I am not the biggest fan of pink, which is rather ironic since I wore a pink dress for my own wedding, but the various hues of pink in this wedding were used to perfection and wonderfully complimented the magical atmosphere of the venue!  Oh, by the way, I LOVED Jessica's totally cool shoes ... awesome!!  Thank you both for having us as your wedding photographers.  We had such a great time and we hope you loved your honeymoon to the Dominican Republic :-)!

Brooke and Jonathan are getting married at L'Auberge de Sedona in April.  We first met these two a few years back when they were planning their first wedding date.  Just after the contract was sent to sign, Brooke found out she had been accepted to graduate school and thus, the wedding was put on hold.  She said they would hold on to our information and get back in touch when the new date was set ... and sure enough Brooke stayed true to her word and contacted us this past summer.  Funny thing was, we had just been talking about them wondering if they had already gotten married :-).  Guess not - and good thing for us, because we are so happy to still be working with them!

We photographed their engagement shoot back in December at Tempe Town Square and finished it up at Tempe Town Lake.  Jonathan's son, Nick, came along as well and we all had a blast!!  Can't wait for the big day ... it's been a long time coming :-)!

Meet Weston Frederick Hepp!  Born 12-9-09 to the Kristin and Kyle Hepp ... glowing and proud parents!  We showed up on the December 19th to photograph his very first portrait shoot at the tender age of 10 days :-).  He was positively adorable!!  Kristin and Kyle, you have both been wonderful and loyal clients and we feel so privileged to have participated in so many of the most important milestones in your life together ... not the least of which is the birth of your first child.  He is beautiful and we only wish we could have a chance to see him as he gets older.  Best of luck in your big move and in life and thank you ... it has been a real pleasure knowing you!!
