This spring was crazy with weddings.  In May alone I shot three of my own weddings and second shot three for Erin.  I don’t recommend shooting SIX weddings in a month, but amazingly it was SO MUCH fun and I survived!!  (Side note…shooting most of these six with one of your best friends makes it super fun too)

Ashley & Anthony have been waiting for this day a long time and I was honored to be able to capture their amazing day.  My sweet friend, Amanda, who is married to Anthony’s cousin, Jon told Ashley that she had a friend (me) that she thought would be perfect for her wedding day.  Well, as soon as Ashley and I chatted on the phone it was a perfect fit for us both.  Ashley & Anthony were both so relaxed about the wedding and just so excited to share this day with their family and friends.  It was warm outside that day and I was a little concerned about it, but everyone was super troopers!!

A special thanks to my sweet friend, Doni who shot with me, I was so thankful to have you with me!

The wedding ceremony was at the gorgeous Highlands Church in Scottsdale.

Ashley & her girls were so fun just laughing and enjoying her special day

Ashley & Anthony chose to have a first look, I love the next series of them seeing each other privately for the first time…

I always love the way a groom looks as his bride is coming down the aisle

Ashley’s ring really came out of a Cracker Jax box…Ha!

Wedding Party

Lookin’ good Mr. Hatch

Ashley told me she wasn’t very photogenic, but I beg to differ…Ashley, you look amazing.

Mr. & Mrs. Anthony Hatch

One of my favorites from the day

The reception was held at the Monterra at Westworld and it was beautiful…this was Ashley & Anthony getting in the stretched Hummer to get there…

Gorgeous cake made my Anthony’s cousin, Jen Hatch…while this cake looked amazing…everyone was gushing about how it tasted!!

Ashley’s brother who also happens to be the Best Man, that’s right, Anthony did not follow the rule of not dating your best friend’s sister - Ha, did the funniest rap for part of his toast…

Ashley & her dad

Anthony & his mom

A big thank you to DJ Mark Sanchez, he had so many fun things happening through the night and kept the music rocking!

Ashley & Anthony many blessings as you begin your new adventure together.  I was honored to share in your day!!

Blessings!
