We got a call for a last minute shoot for Michael and Brandy. They had gotten married in Vegas but came back to the ranch for their reception. The Corona Ranch in Laveen, that is. What a nice location!

We had so much fun shooting the reception.
There were a lot of kids there and that always makes for some good shooting.

We loved getting to know Michael, Brandy and their family and friends.

Here are just a few I pulled out to share with all of you.

Terrie & Bill

This was a very special couple. We so enjoyed getting to know them and their friends.

My wife and I had so much fun shooting this wedding. It was set in the gorgeous, and meticulously landscaped back yard of their very dear friends.

It was very nice and intimate. I didn't post a picture of it, but this is the first time I have had a bride wheeled out in a pink wheel barrel!! I think it took Bill by surprise! (you will have to see those pictures when the wedding posts on the website!)

It was a pretty hot day for the Northwest at about 90 or so, but the breeze kept us all cool.

Thanks again to Terrie and Bill for allowing us to be a part of this special day!!

Cortnei

While we were up in the Northwest for another wedding we got the opportunity to do a senior shoot with a very pretty young lady. Cortnei is a very good friend to our adopted grand daughter Stephanie. It was so nice to spend the day at the wildlife refuge with the both of them. What a great day.

It's so important that you find locations that showcase your subject.. Remember, you are not shooting the location but it should reflect the personality of your subject. In this case it was perfect.

We had so much fun running around the wildlife refuge. I think we got some amazing shots. Here are just a few.

I love location shoots. Anyone can come to a studio and get pictures done, but I think they can lack personality.

This was a perfect day!!!

Amanda & Larry

All weddings are very special to me but this one was the most special! Not because of the location, or a grand setting, but I was able to use my gift of photography to capture the memories for my daughter. You can't know how much joy it brought me to see my little girl having the time of her life. Just to see her smiling so big was so rewarding.

I know all photographers think they have the most beautiful brides but you can't top a father's love and a beautiful daughter. It was a magical day!!

And what do you do after the wedding... Well, with my daughter and son in law it's off to Disneyland!! And that's what we all did.. 3 days at the Magic Kingdom with a wedding in there somewhere.

I guess I really don't have to go on!! The pictures are worth a thousand words.

I just have to say it was a very, very good time in our family's life!!!











Your daddy loves ya baby girl!!

One of the things that make this job so enjoyable is being able to meet so many great people. We are on our way to California from Washington where we just shot one of the most touching weddings. Monica and Damarcus had us all holding back the tears so we could focus on our work. It's so great to share in such a beautiful event. We had to put just a couple of shots up so we could share it with all of you. I heard another photographer say "the secret to great wedding photography is to find beautiful brides & grooms." Well we had that this weekend. They are beautiful people inside and out. We felt honored to be a part of their special day. We wish them well and want to thank them for letting us have a part.

Wedding time!

I guess we will have to do the open house on the new office when we get back. Got a big wedding for Monica and Damascus in Washington State and then it's off to my daughter wedding in Southern California. So we will be gone for a while. We will have pictures when we get back. My daughter wants to share this time with her family at the happiest place on earth. That's right, we're going to Disneyland!! I can't think of a better way to celebrate your wedding than a day or two or three at the park. Then it's back to Washington for Terri and Bill's wedding. We will be having the open house, we just have to put it on the calender, so keep watching!!

The office is done!!!

Well it's finally done. We now have a great space to meet and a very good work space.

It was a lot of hard work to get all this in such a small space but it looks fantastic.


We are very excited about the new studio and working in the Phoenix area!






We can't wait to share our new office with all of you.

Keep your eye's open for the upcoming OPEN HOUSE we will be hosting in the very near future!!




We have an open door policy so come on by anytime we are in the office!

Well I have a new logo thanks to my son in-law. I think it's a lot better than the old one.

The new office is almost done! We will be having an open house as soon as it is possible so, keep checking in!!!

Seattle Shoot!

I just got finished editing

an engagement shoot I did

in Seattle just before

I moved the studio to Phoenix. It was so much fun.

I have two shoots that day and both couples were terrific!!

I am still editing the other couple

but here are some of my favorites

from Monica & Damarcus.

Wedding Bells are ringing.

I have a very special wedding coming up in August. It's my own daughters wedding. That's right... she wants me to shoot the wedding. The best part is we all get to go to Disneyland after the wedding. Wow, My daughters wedding, I get to shoot and Disneyland. This is going to be great!! Watch for pictures!!

Kids!!

Had to add this picture of my grand kids... We were doing a shoot for my daughter and son in law but they got bored.. Beckh thought that Gisille from the move Enchanted was in the man hole and was calling out to her.."Giselle... don't worry we are going to get you out!".. I thought it was very funny!

Here I am!!

Well the long awaited blog is here... The launch of my new web site has been long in coming but it is here. I want to welcome everyone to the site and now the blog... I will be posting more as time goes on. I have relocated the studio to Mesa Arizona and I am very excited about our new office space. I will be posting pictures soon so come back often.
