I was in Flagstaff for Kristie and Brian’s wedding.  It was a tone of fun.  I loved the low key atmosphere and all of the little retro details Kristie included.  Below are  a few of my favorites from the wedding.

It’s been a while since I last posted, but I had to tell you about Amanda and Chris’ wedding in Sedona.  First, it was wonderful escaping the summer heat, because that last week of August was a killer.  Second Amanda and Chris are absolutely wonderful and after photographing Chris’ sister Sarah’s wedding, I really feel like a part of their family.  Plus they gave me a huge tray of Italian cookies, I think they are called Pizzelles, and they were delicious :) .

Here are a few of my favorite images from their wedding.

Thank you teachers!

Here are some photos from Takamatsu’s pre-reopening on Wednesday night.

This summer has flown by and I’ve hardly posted anything to my blog.  I’ve been working like crazy, designing albums and guest books, shooting weddings, engagement sessions and doing magazine work.  I’ve also been taking some much needed vacation.

Of course, I still take a lot of photos when I’m on vacation.  I just got back from an amazing trip to Hawaii.  For me the highlight of the trip was watching my 7 year old daughter swim with a sea turtle.  I don’t want to bore you with a bunch of vacation photos, but I’ll probably post some more of my favorites to Facebook, so if you want to see more friend me.

I’ve also been busy redesigning my wedding website which should go live next week.  I have a couple of other exciting announcements that I will post in the next couple of weeks.

Don’t forget this Sunday is the Tucson Bridal Expo.  Please stop by my booth to check out my work.

There wedding was over Memorial Day weekend in Tucson and it was a ton of fun.  I photographed their rehearsal dinner Friday night and the wedding Saturday morning.  Because the wedding ended just before noon, we knew that the lighting wouldn’t be the best, plus it was very hot.  So, instead of photographing a lot of portraits during the cocktail hour we are scheduling a separate post wedding shoot.  I can’t wait to show you the photos from the session.  In the meantime please enjoy the slide show below from their rehearsal dinner at Tanque Verde Guest Ranch and their reception at The Gallery Golf Club.
