Jennifer & Mitchell asked me to come and photograph their rehearsal dinner the night before their wedding.  They had lots of family & friends that had come in for the wedding and this was a fun intimate gathering.  It gave me a chance to get to know some of the wedding party and family a little better too.  I try to be careful not to get anyone stuffing a big bite into their mouths, ha!!  Jen & Mitch have been coming the restaurant CafePino for years and have a wonderful relationship with the owner.  He was more than happy to host their rehearsal dinner and their guests were more than happy because the food is AMAZING!!  The Sunday after their wedding I took my hubby over to try out some more of their food…I’m happy to report we have already been back twice!!  Yummy!!!

  So, here’s a little taste of the fun from Jen & Mitch’s rehearsal dinner!!

I photographed these amazing people’s engagement session last year during one of our crazy Phoenix haboobs!!  I was a little worried heading to their session with the dark clouds, rain, crazy wind…however, Jen & Mitch were not.  In fact, I remember Jen saying how perfect the weather was because it was sooooo them!  LOVED that and knew right then that we were a perfect fit!!  We decided on the Hotel Valley Ho, their wedding venue for pictures and the hotel was gracious enough to allow us to use a room for the pictures with the looming weather!!  Just perfect!

I loved that they brought along things that represented some of their loves and things they enjoy doing together!!

Since they tied the know this last weekend and I will blogging that soon, I thought I better let you see some of these first.  Love these two…

I actually met Clay’s fiance, Jessica second shooting a wedding with a friend (Clay’s cousin was getting married) and was so excited when she contacted me about their engagement and wedding!!

I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in less than three weeks up in Prescott at the beautiful, Hassayampa Golf Club amidst the pine trees and cooler weather.

Let me be honest and say that when the season for Christmas pictures comes I go into a cave!  An editing cave that is and it starts in October and I just now am starting to see the light once again!!  :)   I have been so blessed by this business and the full schedule that it brings this time of year.  The funny thing is that in my mind every year I say I am really going to limit my sessions this season and believe it or not I did, but it didn’t change too much of the busyness!  Between four little ones, a husband with a crazy schedule (now a new schedule that we are getting used to), a business of my own and the busyness of the season my poor BLOG has suffered!!  Hmmm…two months MIA, I know that’s horrible!!  Sometimes this time of year I also hesitate to post too many family photos in fear that they will be using it for their Christmas card and I don’t want to spoil it!!  Well, since some of the Christmas cards are already in the mail I thought I might give you some of the highlights of the last few months and the wonderful families I have had the privilege of working with!!  So, here a few of them in no particular order…

Well, the truth is, Josh & Noelle aren’t actually engaged anymore…they’re MARRIED!!  :)   AND I am just finishing up with the editing from their wedding a few short weeks ago and as I was pulling out the photos to blog I realized that I never posted they’re engagement session.  This session was too cute to not blog and apparently I was in a fog in February when we shot these and just completely spaced.  Just love this sweet couple and the first thing we did for the engagement session is get coffee…I knew it was a match made in heaven!!  Can’t wait to post their wedding day this week, but in the meantime here is some favorites from their engagement session…

This sweet pick-up truck was parked across the street from a spot we were shooting at & was the perfect match to the balloons that Noelle had brought along…YES!!

Josh bought Noelle this super cute beach cruiser that they brought along…we ended up making Josh the designated driver, he did good cruising Noelle in the parking lot with zero crashes!!  :)
