The Dunn Family - Windmill Farm

The Dunn family decided to do their family holiday photo out at Windmill Farms in Chino. They just so happen to be very good friends of ours. Our daughter, Annah, and their youngest, Phoebe, are the cutest little best friends. Matthew went out and photographed them one early Saturday morning while I spent the morning at our kids' soccer games. Here's a few of our favorites.

Ashly & Cole - Quality Inn, Prescott

Truly one of the sweetest brides I've ever met. Ashly was so sweet and calm all day. We documented their entire day and loved every minute of it. I decided to put in a few pictures that tell a little of their story on this special day. I started out meeting Ashly and her attendants at a local salon. Then Matthew & I met up later at the wedding site to capture the rest of the event. It was a beautiful wedding, pulled together with perfection by DeeAnna, Quality Inn's own wedding coordinator. The last image is a photo of the guest event cards included in our wedding packages. These cards are created with a photo of the bride & groom's choice from their engagement session, along with their names, wedding date, and all their login information to view their wedding photos online. Our brides usually choose to place them all over the tables at the reception for their guests. Here's a few of Ashly & Cole's storybook moments.

The Magnett Kids - Prescott

Matthew truly captured the personalities of these adorable little ones. My absolute favorite is the one where they're obviously tired of smiling for the camera. Isn't it just classic?? : )

Bronski Family - Sedona

We had the pleasure to photograph this beautiful family from Kentucky. (I loved the accent!) They were vacationing and wanted some red rock photos to take home. We had hoped to catch one of those gorgeous Sedona sunsets, but a storm moved in and the sunset didn't happen. However, we hiked back into the creek and captured some adorable photos of their three girls and a little friend, and some red rock portraits with Cathedral Rock. Here are some of our favorites from the day.

Angelique & David - Fountain Hills

Remember that cute couple who just loved on each other throughout their engagement session? Well, they were just as easy to capture at their wedding. It was a beautiful backyard ceremony with close friends and family. Their four young boys were part of the wedding party and we recently got the wonderful news that they are expecting another! Congratulations! David and Angie were married on July 14 on a hot Phoenix evening. They had all their guests light candles and set them to float. It was a quiet, intimate, and romantic ceremony.

Whitehouse Family - Grand Canyon

Okay, going back in time to the summer of 2007...... This wonderfully fun family decided they wanted to do their family portrait while on vacation from back east. What better place to do it than Arizona's own Grand Canyon! Of course Matt loved that idea and we were all lucky that he took pictures of the family and not just the canyon. :)
The evening ended up being a little breezy but as a summer thunderstorm went through, Matt captured these spectacular views.

More to Come!

I'm working on catching all of you up on the wonderful events we've done over the past few months. Enjoy looking at some of our recent posts and look forward for more to come over the next few days!

Christine & Darin - Hassayampa, Prescott

Christine & Darin were married on 7-7-07, the most popular wedding date this year. Matthew especially enjoyed this wedding as Darin is a childhood friend of his. Not only did he enjoy photographing this wedding, but also was able to see some old friends and family. It began to rain during the ceremony, but it didn't put a damper on this crowd. They braved the rain and then partied hard all night!

Rebecca & Ramon - Goldwater Lake, Prescott

We truly feel privileged to have photographed this wedding. I had to hold back tears as they repeated their vows to each other, as the ceremony was very emotional. Rebecca and Ramon are from Redondo Beach but decided to get married here, close to their families, and in Prescott's beautiful forest.

Ashly & Cole - Engagement Session - Sharlot Hall

Don't these two look great together? They are one of the sweetest couples we've met, and a lot of fun besides! You can really see how much they love each other by watching them interact. Watch for the wedding photos to come later. We also took some family photos with the two little ones.
