Real Life Brides – Brial Diaries: Ashley
It’s been a few weeks since my last update, and I am still working diligently on finding a florist. Right now, The Wedding Warehouse in Glendale and God’s Garden Treasures are in the lead. I will be making a decision next week. My mom and I went to Invitations and More in Scottsdale and ordered our invitations! We are very excited that that part is on its way. We will have plenty of time to make any corrections and guest list changes necessary. What has been really exciting is finding our wedding favors. Rob and I wanted something...

Last Saturday I got the privilege of shooting the wedding photos of some good friends of mine. Well, we weren’t really friends until I did Maggie and Michael’s engagements in Sedona back in October of last year, but something just clicked and it made it so fun for us (and hopefully for them) on their wedding day. I’ve got so much going on right now and we took so many great shots I thought I would post a sneak peek so you can see for yourself just how stunning Maggie looked and how these two are just so perfect for each...

So last Saturday we shot a great wedding. It was great because the bride and groom were so chill and we soon felt like one of the family. Anna even gave my wife a pair of flip flops to help out in the comfort area and Steven kept the party going by keeping everyone laughing and having fun. Their first look was so cute because you could tell Steven was just in awe of Anna and then the Bridesmaids snuck around the corner to get a glimpse of the two of them. The mood of the day was so light hearted and you could feel how genuinely happy...

So it’s been a great March so far… wedding photos galore and more to come! I decided back in January that I wanted to make sure our photography team felt like a real TEAM and gave a great professional feel while we were at any event. So… I contacted the guys over at Tees and More in Gilbert (thought I would support our local businesses) and they made these really great shirts for the gang. I love them for a couple reasons… 1) They are a great color and match my website perfectly! 2) They are wrinkle free so I can...

I feel like my whole life is wedding planning! Not because I love it, but because I am not a procrastinator, and want to get it all done now. Why do tomorrow, what you can do today right? I have come a long way with planning my August summer wedding! We are having our reception at the Yacht Club in Bellingham Washington. I am totally into looking at inspiration boards. Recently I found on the Dessy Group, website and amazing inspiration board that gives so many ideas for color theme and design! http://www.dessy.com/pantone/gallery/ Totally...

I completed our invitations for our big day!! That was a lot of fun and we are quiet pleased with the outcome.

read moreSlice of Heaven: The Coolest Idea – Arizona Wedding Photographer
Happy Birthday to me. Well, it was back in January, but I just now got around to using my birthday present to fix a drawer in our bathroom. You see, I’m the kind of guy that doesn’t like paying people for doing things I know I can do myself. So many times I end up researching, reading, and looking through 2 hours of YouTube tutorials to figure it out but this time it was different. It all started when my sweet little girl didn’t want to brush her teeth. I’m not about to let her cute little attitude rot out her...

With the wedding being less than 7 months away, a lot more has been happening within the last two weeks, as we are entering “crunch” time for booking florists and ordering invitations. Last weekend, we went shopping at Destiny’s Bride in Scottsdale, and while the service was incredible, there just weren’t any “wow” dresses. I was joined by my mother, sister, and two maids of honor while trying on dresses. We then headed to Mariée salon in Gainey Ranch, Scottsdale, where I tried on one dress and everyone was...

read moreAngela and Shawn’s Engagement Photography – Scottsdale, Arizona
I had a totally great time with these two, almost too good because I kept laughing and couldn’t keep shooting! Shawn says he’s not really a picture kind of guy and didn’t really know what to expect, but he was patient and really showed how comfortable he could be in front of the camera after just a few minutes. The Harley, of course, was a big hit and a great prop to use in the photos. I wanted to take them somewhere barren and highlight just them with the bike. More than one person shouted from the road “nice...
