Mesa Mega Wedding – Scottsdale Wedding Photographer – Luxury Wedding Photography
This Week’s Featured Wedding – As Seen on Good Morning America and CNN.com The Waldie Family of Mesa, AZ is having a wedding beyond anything anyone can imagine. When Kristen, the mother of these 5 siblings first contacted me the inquiry read “5 weddings and one mega reception.” I had no idea how to respond and wasn’t sure what to think. I was so intrigued I called her right away and asked her to tell me what this was all about and what was going to happen? She proceeded to tell me that last year, none of the...

Meet Jillian and Walker Waldie. They met in high school. She went off to study at Brigham young University while he served a mission for his Church, a 2 year commitment. Their story is like straight out of a Mormon Taylor Swift song. The beautiful dress Jiliian is wearing belonged to her mother. I love the symbolism of that. Wearing the same dress your mom promise her life to your dad. I would feel honored if my Gigi wanted to wear her mom’s wedding dress someday. Though, I fear its a little too circa 2006 for that to ever happen....

Emily and Will are one of a kind and perfect for each other. They decided to take the plunge and go first in our mega wedding couple sessions. They met when Will came to work for her dad. Sound familiar to any country music lovers out there? Their first dance was perfectly paired with a song by Rodney Atkins titled, “Farmers Daughter“. Emily’s face lights up for Will and you can tell by the pictures Will feels the same way about her. The funniest shot of them is when we told hem to stand apart and lean in for a kiss. It was...

On a bicycle built for two, Sydney and Doug are a fun couple! We can tell their marriage is going to be full of laughs. They’re early morning shoot at the Mesa, Arizona temple was lively with their bright colors purple and orange, his matching socks to her shoes, and a tandem bike. They even made their grand exit riding away together on the big day! From pinwheels to polk-a-dots the accessories looked like they were fresh off a pin board on Pinterest. I love that site. Why wasn’t it around when I was getting married? Sydney even...
read moreBrooke and Todd – Mega Wedding Mesa, AZ
The youngest of the group was Brooke and Todd. They suffered through the evening heat and were rewarded with a fantastic sky. I’m not a fan of Arizona summers, but man alive the monsoon season gives us breathtaking sunsets. Her dress was a romantic style covered in lace with a beautiful bow on the back. Her bouquet was an array of fabric flowers that her dear friend, and bridesmaid, lovingly made for her. I know how long some of the flowers take to make and that’s a true friend for you. One you would definitely want to be with you...

Starting from the end. Megan and Bradford were our final couple’s shoot of the mega wedding. It was a beautiful, warm-okay we’ll go with hot- morning! Waldie’s do everything bigger. The week of their wedding the high never dipped below 112 degrees! These two just returned to the States after living in England where they met. (jealous) All this Olympic coverage has made me dying to go! They went to a few events before flying home including woman’s gymnastic qualifying. Pretty sure these two have the best lives...

Here is a fun little video we made last Sunday. Every Sunday morning my kiddos ask to see what baby looks like. My wife started taking the iPad in our room and showing the kids a little videos about baby’s development and now they are hooked! They sit in bed and watch the videos about what baby looks like, ask questions, and talk about what their baby brother might be like. They are so excited to see him and so am I. Only 5 more...

What do you want? Video coverage or Wedding Photography? Can you have both? I’d like to say you can… and we are the first in Arizona to offer it. After a recent trip to Las Vegas for this years WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographer International) I decided that my clients need more of what we have to offer. We have been shooting short films for businesses and other creative types but we’ve never offered anything by way of filming to our clients. We know that budgets sometimes can’t stretch to accommodate...

I got a call from Ryan after he saw us on The Knot Best of Weddings… I could tell we were a good match for Groom and photographer when he said “You’ve got a kick a** site, I love it!” Little did I know that his fiance, Eunice, would be just as cool and that they’d be having their wedding in Hawaii come June. As Hawaiian natives it won’t be just another destination wedding, it will be a family reunion and I’m sure it will be an amazing day. So we start their journey in Arizona where Eunice came to...

In the fall of 2011 we had the awesome opportunity to shoot Lindsay and Mike’s Bellingham, WA wedding. Mike is from Canada and looked like a royal stud in his Royal Canadian Mounted Police uniform at the wedding.
