Erica and Justin - 50's themed engagement session.

A few weeks ago I had one of my favorite engagement sessions of all time!! I can't believe how much fun, Erica, Justin, and I had!!! We found some great new locations to shoot in and I was a little kid in a candy store, loving every minute of it.

Erica and Justin are having a 50's themed wedding and wanted to dress the part. I LOVED Erica's cute little dress and Justins white shirt with simple tie...It totally made the pictures.

They also decided that they wanted to do a few "themed" pictures, so they rented a very unique car that was made in 59... i'm not sure of the exact name of the car and I don't want to mess it up, but you car lovers will know this car... it's a classic. We went out to the boonies and got some amazing shots with the two little lovebirds and the car. What fun times.

This session is a classic example of what I encourage my clients to do.. find something unique about you and your fiance and let's take pictures that truly capture who you are.

I think we really captured Erica and Justin and they did such an amazing job!

Here are some of my favorites!!






















Seriously, could they get any cuter?


These car shots are so much fun.... what a great idea they had using the car! Isn't Erica so cute?


Love this!








Classic... Justin is a stud!!!





A little taunting:)





Love this!

One of my favorites.


Ok, they are all my favorites!!




Thanks you two!!! I can't wait for the wedding... it is going to be so much fun!

Opportunity to pass on

I just got an email from a friend who is in need of some engaged couples to be talent in a video he is producing. I wanted to pass on the information to anyone who might be interested. I believe the shoot is this saturday (tomorrow), so it's fast notice.

If you are interested please contact Dan directly. His information is below.

----------------------

I wanted to ask you if you know any engaged couples (maybe one of your customers) who
would be interested in being talent in a video I'm producing this Sat. at CCV in northwest Phx.

It will be a great time with John Trent and Michael Smalley as they interview couples about
how they met, got engaged and some of the areas they'd like strengthen their relationships.
Then, these marriage experts will take the couple through some exercises and give them some
relational tools to help them.

PLUS...we'll feed them a hot lunch AND pay them $75 per couple.

Angie and Luke - Wedding at the Farm at South Mountain - Phoenix, AZ

Luke and Angie got married this last weekend at The Farm at South Mountain, one of my favorite places in the whole world.

It was a gorgeous day, beautiful weather and everything outdoors made for an amazing wedding.



Angies dress was beautiful. It was simple, yet elegant and was perfect for a "farm" wedding.


Angies shoes were amazing.. red, white, and blue.


Angie had all of her girls pick out their own shoes, but they all had to be red. It was such a fun idea and made for a great shot.


The little flower girl was so cute and was a trooper for the entire day.


A moment with Angie and her mom.


Doesn't she look gorgeous?

Luke was nervous... He and Angie decided to wait until the ceremony to see each other that day, so he was a nervous wreck:)



This is one of my favorite shots because when the little flower girl realized where her mom was she took off running and left the poor ring bearer to walk down the aisle all by himself.











Love Luke's reaction in these next two shots... he's finally married!!





A moment.


Angie and Luke challenged me with a HUGE wedding party, but we got some great shots.



The Farm at South Mountain has so many amazing locations to shoot and we took full advantage of everything. Here are some of my favorite shots of Angie and Luke.






















The reception was out under the stars and was beautiful. Who wouldn't want their first dance to be like this?


And of course there has to be a killer party.. I love Luke's moves...



They had to bring some oldschool back to the dance floor.


Thanks Angie and Luke for a wonderful day. You are both great people and I had a great time getting to know you!!!
