Rachel + Adam: Married

Over the years I've photographed a lot of weddings, but I have to say Rachel + Adam are two of the sweetest most in love people I have ever met. It was a blessing just to get to be there and whiteness such happiness! A special shout out to Travis Williams for 2nd shooting for me on this one!

I could go on and on, but I'll let the photos speak for themselves :)

I love this shot Travis snagged of Adam getting ready! I have such a soft spot for bow ties!
Rachel + Adam decided to do a first look and see each other before the ceremony, and it was amazing!
I love Adam's face SO much!!! This is why I love photographing 1st looks, because you get reactions like this!
Rachel was pretty excited to see Adam too! (shots by Travis)

These two have such an effortless beauty to them, they made my job easy!
I love this shot Travis got!

Rawr... seriously... you two are gorgeous
Rachel elegant as always...
And Adam looking cooler than Tom Cruise ;)


I LOVE this photo... it's like the cover of a Friends DVD lol...
Right after we finished up taking all the portraits, the heavens opened up and a HUGE rain storm started pouring down, forcing us to move Rachel + Adam's gorgeous rooftop ceremony inside instead. From experience I know some brides would have had a major melt down over this, but not Rachel. She was still just excited to get to marry the man of her dreams rain or shine, and her smile never even left her face for a moment!
A HUGE shout out to Anne Bryan and her team for an amazing job moving the ceremony inside faster than I thought imaginable and making it look gorgeous! If you need a wedding planner in Tucson Anne is seriously the best!
Mazel Tov! (I <3 Jewish weddings!)
Reception Time!

I'm sort of in love with this shot...

Another great shot by Travis!

Really quickly I just want to say how much I loved EVERY MOMENT of Rachel and Adams wedding, and I'm so glad to be able to call them my friends!

Melissa + Toby: Married

Over the course of time that we got to be a part of Melissa and Toby's life Joey and I have grown to love them more and more. They are two of the sweetest most genuine people, who also happen to have a shared love of salsa dancing and video games :) I was so excited when their big day came around and I got to meet their amazing group of friends and family. Here are just a few of my favorite images from their beautiful day:

I'm not gonna lie, I'm starting to get a little obsessed with using my macro lens on detail photos... it's so fun!



Ok so don't her eyelashes look AMAZING!!!! They are temporary eyelash extensions... and I am in love. I am so telling every singe one of my brides from now on to get these. They just look so much more natural than most false eyelashes I seriously couldn't even tell they weren't her real eyelashes. If you are in Tucson Melissa did her's at Looks Lashes.


Ah purple shoes... how I love you! :)




Melissa and Toby decided to do a first look so that they could get a bunch of their photos out of the way before the ceremony, I love this photo from right after their meeting...


But since it was still pretty early in the day and the sun outside was gross still we had some fun walking around the resort, I love these two images, Melissa and Toby were awesome models!




See... I told you the sun was bright outside!


After photos we headed over to the ceremony...




Compared to a lot of churches I photograph in this one had amazing light to shoot with...


How cute is this little guy!? He cracked me up all day...


After the ceremony it was back to the resort for the reception, but I got to snag Melissa and Toby again just for a bit since the sun was WAY better to shoot outside with at this point...


Favorite... I love this one of them :)


I also really like this one...




If only Arizona was like this all the time... I love that hour just prior to sunset...


Favorite #2!!!! Mel you are gorgeous!


Isn't this one sweet?




Reception Time! Can you believe Mel's mom did ALL the flowers for the wedding!? These centerpieces she made were gorgeous!



My favorite detail, the custom cake topper complete with little game controllers! :)


Mr + Mrs!!!



Thank you both for letting us be a part of your amazing day and share it with you!
