Rachel and Corey's engagement

When Rachel and I first met and were talking about a potential engagement shoot, she didn't think Corey would want to do one. So I had the idea to make it more fun-- to start out at a bar with some cocktails. We found out that the first bar we were considering didn't open up until 5pm, and we wanted to start at 4pm. This actually worked out in our favor because plan B was to begin at Bar Bianco (next to Pizzeria Bianco). This bar is small but full of character, and it is right next to Herritage Square Park and the Science Center (where we wanted to shoot.) Starting with a cocktail each relaxed them for the portraits. I think I have stumbled onto something here-- I am going to suggest this to others.

Had a great time chatting with and shooting Rachel and Corey. Their wedding this spring will be a pleasure as well!

Kamila & Mike's Engagement

January 29th, I met up with Kamila and Mike at Papago Park. When you see these images, you won't even be able to tell that it was crowded. I timed and angled shots just right-- it looks like they are alone at Papago. Kamila and Mike's wedding is March 25th at Red Mountain Country Club. We enjoyed our time shooting and chatting at the engagement shoot, and I am looking forward to their wedding as well!

I rocked this shoot at the rocks!

Suzane and Noah

This wedding was back on January 22nd. Leanna of Photography by Leanna hired me to work part of this long weekend wedding. I worked about 6 hours that Saturday. Leanna worked something like 16 on this one. It was an African wedding, and it was long, colorful, fun, and did I say long? My 6 hours was spent doing some of the formals (especially of the guys) and then the reception. The reception had lots of dancing (more like marching) and clapping. I have tons of shoots to work on today, so not much time to spend on this one. So here they are!
