The Sommer Family - Silverleaf - Scottsdale, AZ

A few weeks ago I went out to the Sommer House in Silverleaf and took some pictures of their family. Cassandra is having a sweet 16 birthday party and they wanted some pictures of her for the party and then also wanted to get some family pictures.

We had such a great time and got so many amazing pictures. This is truly such a fun family!

Cassandra did amazing during her shoot! She could absolutely be a model!

Here are some of my favorites.





































We then took some family pictures and got some great ones of them and their house as well.






























Thank you Sommers. I have enjoyed getting to know you!!

Happy Birthday Cassandra!!

Valerie and Michael - Arizona Historical Society - Wedding in Tempe,Arizona

I can't believe that I'm just now getting this wedding posted. We have been so slammed here lately and I really wanted to show a lot of the details of this wedding since they were so amazing, so it took a little longer than usual. So sorry Valerie and Michael... but hopefully the pictures were worth the wait!!

Valerie and Michael had a Desert Themed Wedding at the Arizona Historical Society in Tempe, AZ. It truly was an amazing event. Valeries flowers and decorations were all Succulents, which pertained to their Desert Theme. It was also all eco friendly.. and we LOVE green weddings.

Considering Valerie and Michael planned this event from out of the State I was very impressed!

We started the day out with getting ready pictures. Valeries family and friends were all from Miami, so it was a big reunion.












Valerie and Michael saw each other before for pictures. Michael is one of the most intimate men I've met, and his love for Valerie is so evident in the way he looks at her and treats her. Their moment was amazing!





We were planning on taking pictures in downtown Tempe, but it was the weekend of the Music Festival, so plans quickly changed. I found this great location and got some great shots.




We then headed back to the Historical Society and took some Desert Pictures around the property. The Wedding party met up with us for a few as well.



Isn't this Bouquet amazing? It's so different than anything I've ever seen before. Heather Gentry did a great job with it!














Ok, isn't this such a cute little one?? She reminded me so much of my Kailee!!




















A moment for the Mr. and Mrs.!!


Some more amazing details.


It was a great setting for a wedding!

Party time!!!

Thanks Valerie and Michael... you are amazing!
