Andrea and Tyler!

4 comments

Andrea and Tyler’s wedding was super dope.   I am so glad that they chose me as their photographer and trusted me to capture all of their awesomeness.  Andrea’s got style for days and she knows how to work it!  She nearly knocked me dead with the feather head piece she wore for the reception.  Tyler is a riot.  He’s super quick with a great smile.  This was the first wedding I’ve photographed where the groom subbed in for the dj!!!  For a looong time!!  I was in heaven.

The day begins with some super sweet deets
1 Andrea and Tyler!

Some craziness in Tyler’s room captured by Jen.

Andrea’s dress needed a small repair.  Luckily her girls got skills and they were all over it.

Ashley and Jon unite in Carefree.

10 comments

Ashley and Jon’s wedding day was one of the most gorgeous days I have ever seen.  Add to that a fantastic outdoor venue, a one-of-a-kind bride-designed dress, a gorgeous bride, a groom with an uproarious and contagious laugh, and a beautiful daughter, Mazel,  and you have the essential elements that created the magic of Ashley and Jon’s wedding.  Thanks to Sergio for coming with me and kicking ass as usual.  ;)

Oops.  I forgot to mention the mannequin hands!  ;)

Lesley and Ryan’s La Paloma Love Down.

2 comments

I had so much fun at this wedding.  Lesley and Ryan are super easy going and hilarious.  Lesley was really expressive and I love that, she kept me busy trying to capture all of her looks.  Lesley’s mom was definitely one of the best MOB’s ever.  Midwestern peeps always make me feel comfortable.  Everyone felt like family, like they had all known and loved each other their whole lives.  The ceremony at La Paloma was sweet, emotional, beautiful and flawless.  The reception was all about cupcakes, beer and gettin’ down.  What more can one ask for?  :)

Sarah, Tony, Bug and Bean.

10 comments

Sarah and Tony’s wedding had a lot of the elements that make me a very happy photographer:  a great love story, DIY all over the place and KIDS!  Sarah is the mother of two lovely children; “Bean” and “Bug.”  It was amazing watching her balance being a mother with being a bride on her wedding day.  She blew me away with her attentiveness and serenity.  Even though she was a bride she never once stopped being a mother.  Sarah writes about her pre and post wedding experiences with Tony, Bean and Bug on her hilarious and entertaining blog Inconceivable Life.  Sarah and Tony are madly in love and there is nothing that makes me want to work harder.

Thank you to Jen for coming with and getting some great images.

Portraits of Carly

5 comments

I’ve known Carly as long as I’ve lived in Tucson.  I’ve loved her just as long.  Her doe eyes captivated me at age 4 and she just continues to shine.  My mom is best friends with Carly’s mom and the entire clan is family.  LOVE.

I took her to a spot where I’ve been dying to photograph and we rocked it out.
