Special kudos to my wonderful new assistant Leah who took this image of the B&G with their daughter Galaxy, also known as Cinderella! Galaxy was a perfect flower girl and was terrific all day. Leah was actually married at the Castle in April. I was her photographer too!

Sara and Justin were married on 12/13/08 at Brophy Chapel (I love it there!) with getting ready and reception pics at the Millenium Resort in Scottsdale, AZ. The Millenium is gorgeous for photos and then there's the always asked for Beatles walk in front of Brophy! Wow, Brophy bridal parties really know how to party at a reception!

Shannon and Jason were married on 11/29/08 at St. Francis Xavier with getting ready and reception pics at the Ritz in Phoenix, AZ. The Ritz staircase is so much fun for photos and there are lots of street photography opportunities too! After their wedding ceremony we found a special nook outside St. Francis for just some alone time!

Katie and William were married on 11/22/09 at St. Mary's Basilica with a reception at the new Cottonwoods Resort in Scottsdale, AZ. St. Mary's is a magnificent church. The Cottonwoods is next to the Borgata. Under new management, the service is fabulous! I really like the sunset green with the mountain backdrop. It is large enough to hold wedding ceremonies too!

Happy Holidays!

The guys arrived at church after being photographed at Joe's parent's home....

St. Bernard's is always beautiful, and now even more so with their newly installed stained glass windows!

After the ceremony and formals, our bridal party went to Fountain Hills, and cooled off with some ice cream...

We then returned to a sunset reception at the beautiful Ancala Golf Club.

Dawn and her staff provide warm, excellent, and caring personal service at Ancala! Exhausted but thrilled to have been a part of such a wonderful day, I photographed a special moment between bride and groom at the end of their day!

Suzanne and Doug

2008-06-27T13:10:00.003-07:00

Suzanne and Doug were married at St. Francis, in Phoenix, Arizona on 6/7/08. Wow! It seems as if I've been there a lot lately! Angela, my assistant caught this very emotional moment when Dad gave his daughter away. Angela photographed with a 200 mm lens so as not to disturb the moment!

Then we were off to the Heard Museum for their reception...

...and some bridal party fun!

Suzanne especially wanted to show off her dress for Doug... it was the one her mother had worn many years earlier!

Chelsea and Hudson

2008-06-27T12:49:00.005-07:00

Chelsea and Hudson were married at the Trilogy Golf Club in Peoria, Arizona on 5/31/08. I always try to photograph special details, and here's a cool shot of Chelsea's shoes!

Chelsea looked awesome in the sitting area of the club...

...but when she got to see Dad, well the emotions just flowed.

I'm just amazed at how wonderful it was to photograph Chelsea's little sister and flower girl! She has the most beautiful eyes.

Trilogy just has an amazing view for sunsets in which to be twirled!
