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!!

Scottsdale Engagement Session: Lauren + Tony

April 4th, 2013

I love watching these two interact with each other.  They are always laughing, smiling and truly enjoying one another every second.  Time together is extra precious as they recently began a business adventure together that takes most of their time together away at the moment, so each second together really is cherished! “If I had [...]

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.

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…

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!!  :)
