Fun in the Hot SUN!

This is another where I was the second shooter for Leanna. Kaydee and Mike got married at the Desert Event Center at Lake Pleasant in Peoria. It was a super bright day, fortunately with a breeze. The wedding colors were super bright too. This one was fun-- and cupcakes sooooo good! And yes I admit to hanging out at the candy table a couple of times...have a huge sweet tooth!

Something fell out of my camera...uh oh!

I was the second shooter for Leanna on this one. It was back on April 1st, a Friday wedding. I remember it being hot and very bright out. Here are a few images from that day. My camera's mirror fell out at the beginning of the reception-- brides, ask the photographer you are considering if they have a couple of back up cameras! I sure used my back up cameras that week! At this wedding, my camera froze up during the first dance. I went to check it out, took the lens off, and my mirror popped out and onto the table. Thank god we had TWO shooters shooting the first dance! So consider having a second shooter at your wedding-- such a great idea to have TWO cameras shooting from different angles at the same time! Here is Katie and Chris's wedding at the Sanctuary Golf Course at Westworld in Scottsdale...

It was very windy for the first part of the day. We had to be very careful with this dress shot...

White shoes are a thing of the past-- and that rocks a photographer's world!




Trying to coerce the ringbearer to get in the photo with the groom...


With this many cameras, Leanna and I thought we should go home, that we weren't needed? EVERYONE had a camera out that day...
















I think all weddings should have lanterns! Love them!

My Heart Has Been Stolen!

Normally I try to just post professional type photos and articles. BUT I can't resist posting my new sweetheart. I am in total puppy love! We get to take her home in a couple weeks (she is still too young to leave her mama). So excited! Our dog passed away in January, and our house has been too quiet since. We are ready for the pitter patter of little feet once again. I just met her today. Her designation ribbon is yellow, and she is real friendly and outgoing. Need help with name suggestions. Want something cute, but nothing that you would use for a human name. So far considering Sunshine, Amiga, Latte... Post some ideas here if you think of anything great I should consider.Thanks!!!
