Panoramic Bliss

This is my sample panoramic flush album. I love the style and the quality, which is from Forbeyon. It is such a great way to showcase your wedding day. They measure 19" x 7.5" closed, 19" x 15" open. Forbeyon has tons of different metal cameos, leathers, fabrics. Here it is, inside and out!

Yes, You Need a Timeline!


When I schedule a wedding, I ALWAYS write out a timeline for my couples. In order to get the best images, you have to have the proper amount of time scheduled for photographs. For ultimate results, the sun needs to be taken into consideration with the timeline. The two hours prior to sunset are prime photo time for wedding photos. The hour or two after sunrise is also grand, but that just doesn't work for weddings because they are almost always later in the day. I recommend that before a ceremony time is set, discussion with the photographer about timing should happen first.

Christine and Kirk

Christine and Kirk and I went to the Desert Botanical Gardens 2 weeks ago for their engagement session. I had a small fever, and it was hot, but I love how these shots turned out. The 3 of us got along great-- we took turns joking around. This first shot was one of the first shots at the main entrance-- it is one of my favorites, I had told them 'Got it-- we are done'! But they wanted to continue on... This shoot shows that you can do portraits when it is 110+ out. Just bring numerous water bottles!!

Reema and Adam

On Saturday the 18th, I shot the engagements for Reema and Adam. They are getting married in November at Stonebridge. We went a lake by their house for the first part of this shoot, and then we went to Arizona Grand for the rest. Adam was a trooper, considering all the outfits that Reema had brought along to wear!
