Ashley and Matthew

This wedding was back on November 12th at Vistancia. I got so into this wedding that I forgot to watch my footing and took a bad step from the golf greens to the sidewalk-- crash! Matthew and Ashley were so sweet and concerned. First, camera gear was okay (except for a flash cord). Busted up my knee and palm though. I timed it well though, right after formals and during a 10 minute break until reception entrance. I now know to not shoot and walk at the same time! I guess after 18 years, I was bound to fall once.

Ashley and Matthew were both so great to work with-- timeline was well planned out too. So we didn't have rushing and they could really take time to enjoy the day instead of hurrying.

Sorry about my clumsiness you two! And congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Perez!

Right after this shot is where I fell...ooops!

Lindsay and Austtin

I am almost done editing my November 5th wedding. Here is a sneak peek, mainly for the bride and groom, Lindsay and Austtin. The day went smoothly, was fun and beautiful, if we forget about the little holes in the putting green... My apprentice, Andrew, worked this wedding with me. The last few images on the blog are his-- he has a great timing! I didn't do many images in black and white because everything looked so perfect in color.

Congratulations to Lindsay and Austtin-- it was a pleasure spending your day with you both!

This next image is a rose left on a chair that remained empty, where the bride's mom would have sat, in her memory. Very nice sentiment.

Another ceremony shooting into the sun-- seems to be a trend.

Our groom and bride with officiant, Larry James. He is always a joy to work with!

Isn't the flower girl adorable in this next one?

The rest were taken by Andrew, my apprentice.

Ancala Country Club...

Here are a few from my October 30th wedding, second shooting for Leanna of Photography by Leanna. It was at the beautiful Ancala Country Club in Scottsdale. One recommendation that I have that this wedding makes me think of: time your ceremony to be at a time of day when the sun isn't in all your guests eyes! Not to mention us photographers trying to shoot directly into the sun-- made it work, but could have been so much better a few hours later or earlier. I will gladly help a bride plan the best time for the ceremony-- just need the date and location.

Have I mentioned how I enjoy shooting with Leanna?

This next one is my favorite of the day...
