Rachel and Jonty, February 20th at the Princess. The weekend of the big rains. This wedding was a dream wedding, like all weddings, except that it took extra work in that it was an Orthodox Jewish wedding and a kosher wedding as well. Amy, our bride's mom, told me "if you ever think to have an Orthodox Jewish, kosher wedding, don't!" Of course she was just teasing, I think, but it was a lot of hard work for all involved. And then the rains came. Rains were on and off all day, and it was FREEZING. I wasn't too cold because I wore two sweaters and I was running all over the place. But all the women in there beautiful dresses were ice cold. Anyways, everything other than the rain was GREAT! It was beautiful and the rain stopped long enough for an OUTDOOR ceremony. The food was fabulous, and the cake too (and I don't usually like cakes without dairy). Everyone had good spirits despite the weather. I love the photos we got, and hope everyone else does too! We will end up with 1200 to 1500 images at least (2 shooters.) Mary Sandy was my second shooter-- she worked her tail end off for me-- love you Mary! Well, her we go. About 50 of my favorites (normally I do about 25 to 30!) By the way, if you click on any image in my blog, it will enlarge on your screen...Enjoy!
J. Crew shoes...awesome!
Rachel is stunning in this shot...just stunning!
Amazing little waist, this dress was perfect for her!
Love this shot that Mary took...the composition is just right.
The Tish, where the guys get together prior to the ceremony.
The Bedeken, when everyone comes together right before the ceremony.
Circling the groom 7 times.
Celebrating after breaking the glass.
She had no idea of how great she looked here--but I knew!
On each side of the curtain.
Notice the guy in the middle flying in the air, off the chair?
This family is so nice to work with. And do they know how to party!!? Mazel tov, Rachel and Jonty and families!

Staci and Alfonso
Staci and Alfonso got married a few weeks before this reception. They had a small intimate ceremony and reception at the Provencal side of the Wright House. Mary Sandy was the photographer for that wedding, and the images were amazing! She was already booked for their big reception date of 2/19/11, so she called me and hired me to shoot for her.
This reception was at Inside the Bungalow. Staci and Alfonso's theme is baseball. This is because he is a Major League umpire. It was raining on and off the entire weekend of their reception-- we had to run outside for portraits in between showers, very quickly. They didn't let some raindrops ruin their party! It was a pleasure working with Staci and Alfonso.
The party favors were chocolate covered coffee beans, fitting since the reception was at Inside the Bungalow, a cute coffeehouse in Mesa.

Landon and family
Three week old Landon was such a cute healthy baby boy. But he only had two things on his agenda the day of our photo shoot-- 1. eating 2. sleeping. Since he is the boss, we went with what he would give us. The camera loves him, though he didn't even know I was taking his portraits. His parents, Amanda and Mike, were calm, loving, and patient. They are a great little family!
Landon likes to suck his hands, as this next photo shows...
Grandma, grandpa, and crew.
Awake for a little bit, but would NOT let us take his pacifier away.
Nice and relaxed for grandma for a moment.
Power to the people! This was the only truly awake shot.
This was a special request, special monkey that they wanted a pic with. And Landon sleeps right on through.
