Karima and Terry were married March 20th, 2011 at the Farm at South Mountain in Phoenix.  I LOVED everything about this wedding ... the bride and groom, the colors, the venue, the personalities of everyone there ... it all made for wonderful photos :-)!  Karima and Terry were referrals and they were such a blast to work with.  We also need to make mention of one of Karima's bridesmaids.  She is a professional wedding photographer herself and we can't thank her enough for being so wonderful to us!  We have had instances like this in the past, many of which have not been very pleasant experiences for us.  We are usually either treated very poorly or the person tries to step in and handle all the posing, etc. themselves.  Karima's friend did none of that.  She helped us when we asked and otherwise extended us the professional courtesy of standing back, thereby allowing us to do our jobs freely and creatively.  To her we say a big THANK YOU!!!!  We also want to thank our Associate Photographer, Angie, for helping out on this one!

Karima and Terry, thank you both so much for having us as your wedding photographers.  We had such an amazing time and we love the photos we shot at your wedding!  Hope you enjoy the sneak peak!

Perhaps one of our favorite couples, we couldn't resist blogging Kristina and Justin's wedding from this past August at Shoshone Point, Grand Canyon!  Days like this and views like these are why we LOVE living in Arizona!  Their wedding took place at the height of the summer monsoons and there are few places more spectacular to witness this annual weather event than the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.  Every direction offered it's own unique drama being played out through an ever-changing mosaic of light, color and clouds ... simply stunning!

This past Thursday, St.Patrick's Day (it was the only day the couple could plan with their very busy schedules,) we photographed Lynette and Rick's wedding at Saguaro Buttes in Tucson, Arizona.  It was a beautiful day, almost too beautiful - Lynette was really hoping for some clouds for sunset pics :-).  That's OK, we got great shots anyways.  All the details were fantastic and Lynette just looked stunning and Rick very handsome! Plus, this crowd new how to party!!  Thank you both so much for having us as your wedding photographers and we hope you love the sneak peak!

This shoot is the culmination of half a year of planning.  The idea was born of a need to do something outside the box.  Something very creative, whimsical, full of electric color and very high fashion.  We based the theme "loosely" on 'Alice in Wonderland.'  This past Sunday we saw it explode to life and we couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome!!!

Though we did most of the work ourselves, we did have help from two extraordinary people without whom this shoot never would have happened.  They are our Associate Photographer, Angie Gomez, who spent countless hours helping us plan and who donated many great props for the set design and one of our past clients and good friends, Megan Leland (she is 3 months pregnant by the way, congrats again :-),) who is a professional hairstylist and who brought the characters to life through her magical styles!  Her artistry far surpassed my wildest expectations!  Both Angie and Megan also served as our stunning models, and we mean STUNNING!!

Thanks to everyone who participated in this and made our "dream shoot" come true!!  It was a great ride down the rabbit hole :-)!!!
