Neon, trucker hats, sunglasses, penguins, and ice cream sundays! Just a few of the highlights of this amazing wedding.

I have to say that I love firsts and this was the first neon wedding I have shot! AND the first wedding with a penguin mascot. Lindsey and Dan are troopers. They planned a wedding while planning a move across the country. It all came together perfectly and I wish them lifetimes of happiness on their new ventures together as a married couple! Thanks to my FAV Kelly Rashka for shooting with me. Cake and cupcakes by Nothing Bundt Cakes and the flowers were by Chelsea from Wildwood and Bloom. Here are some highlights from their special day at The Buttes at Reflections.

The details!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh my goodness! It was so nice snuggling with baby Ezra. He fell asleep just in time for his debut and he has the most loving parents who are clearly so madly in love! Here are some of my favorites from my time with them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alex and Cierra were a wedding photographers dream! These families truly made us feel like we were a part of the celebration. There is nothing better then feeling so genuinely appreciated! My favorite thing about this wedding is seeing all the HUGE, blissful smiles on everyones faces. Of course, the most radiant was Cierra’s! She was such a stunning bride and Alex is just beyond head over heels for her! We started off at the Tucson Museum of Art downtown where they had the most epic first look I have ever witnessed. Tears, jumping for joy, and a lot of WOO HOO’s!!! It was amazing. The ceremony and reception were help at Site 17. I have to say that the reception was pretty epic as well! Pizza catered by Papa Murphy’s, donuts from Alvernon Donut Shop, poppers, glow sticks, and some of the sweetest dance moves ever. I am so grateful Kelly and I got to share a part in this day. Always a special thanks to my bestie Kelly Rashka for shooting with me!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was lucky enough to photograph Avery (Evan’s big brother) when he was born and now Evan! They look so much alike! Avery showed me all of his cool trains and we even built a heart track around his baby brother. I think these two are going to be the best of friends!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am Mimi’s biggest fan (aside from her parents of course). She is one of the happiest, most smiley babies I have ever met. This shoot was a little different because she just got back from traveling to Vietnam and she was fighting a bit of a fever:(

Regardless, she was as cute as ever and I am so thankful that I have been able to watch her grow from the very beginning of time! Here are some of the highlights from our shoot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I met Yvette, her sister, and her ADORABLE son a few months before the wedding. I knew I was going to love shooting this wedding, but I had no idea I was going to love it so much that I cried 4 times throughout the day! I’ve never cried that much at a wedding. I met Edward that day of the wedding and while spending some time with him getting ready, I learned that he is such a kind, genuine, and one of a kind soul. The love, the emotion, the support from family and friends, and the beauty of this wedding just marinated my core! It’s so refreshing to see two people who have been through so much stay so strong and remain unbreakable. They are truly an inspiration and I live to document couples with this bond.
DJ Mark Summerset did an amazing job. Thank you to my sweet friend Alexis for second shooting with me!

 

I was so excited when Kevin asked me to do maternity photos for his family! We went to high school together and I haven’t seen him in forever! His beautiful wife Shannon was GLOWING and his daughter Sierra was as cute as can be. I can’t wait to meet their baby girl!

I had so much fun with this cute family. Last time I photographed Stark he was a tiny little newborn. Now he’s almost a grown up ONE year old!!!! He is the happiest little guy ever. Here are some of my favs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I usually meet my couples before the wedding, but in this case I didn’t. I walked into the room at Westward Look not knowing anything about the bride and groom. We were greeted by Raquel’s mom, sister and Raquel and immediately knew I was going to love this wedding. Raquel’s sweet smile and energy just radiated throughout the whole room. THEN the magic happened. I asked if she got a good night’s rest and she told me her and Vlad went to Taco Bell for dinner and had Chalupas. I……Love…..Her! Her humor was right up my alley.
Then I met Vlad and his brother. They welcomed us the same and I loved seeing them work as a team to get all dressed up.
The ceremony and reception were at the beautiful Tohono Chul Park. Raquel and Vlad are just perfect for each other. They have so much fun together and they always managed to keep smiles on each others faces!
The vendor team was AMAZING! This day was made possible by Jeri Fitzgerald with Celebrations by Design wedding planning, Video by Ryan Bloom with In Bloom Images, Cupcakes by Nothing Bundt Cakes, flowers by Mayfield Florist, the food was catered by Tohono Chul, and Classy DeeJay’s took care of all the music!
Thank you to my sweet friend Alexis Jones for shooting with me!!

Here are some highlights!

The K family was back in town visiting for Memorial Weekend and they invited me to take photos for them again! Polly and Callen looked so adorable in their red, white, and blue. We had to have some tickle fights to get the smiles out and they were the CUTEST smiles EVER!!!
