Gabriel and Lisa's Engagement Photos at Papago Park

Gabriel and Lisa had their hands full getting a photo with their four puppies - cute!  We then concentrated on a few photos of just Gabriel and Lisa.  We love papago park - we are always strive to find new scenes for our couples every time we are there.   

Rob and Lindsey's Ocotillo Golf Club wedding November 13, 2009

It seems like yesterday that we were doing Rob and Lindsey's engagement photos with their motorcycle.  Their big day arrived quickly.  Since 13 has always been a lucky number for them, they chose Friday the 13th for their wedding date.  Of course they had to get in some Friday the 13th humor with Rob playing the role of Jason from the Friday the 13th horror movies for a few crazy photos with the wedding party! 

 

Ryan and Heather's Engagement photos at Scottsdale Civic Center and Papago Park

We had a great time getting to know Ryan and Heather - they are such a fun couple - and so cute together.  We are looking forward to their wedding next October!

Thomas and Candice's Wedding that Castle at Ashley Manor November 8, 2009

The best way to describe this wedding is - simply elegant.  The bride and groom, their attendants and the venue were all in harmony with this theme. The bride and groom also had their children there to blend into one happy family.  There were other children there as well to give the wedding a very family oriented feel. Thomas and Candice incorporated their kids into the ceremony.  The children stood up with them during their vows at the Gazebo.  We loved the little flower girl's different expressions during the wedding.  After cocktails the guests were invited into the lavishly decorated ballroom for a festive night of dinner and dancing.


Rafe and Janessa's Secret Garden Wedding November 7, 2009

Not only did the bride wear white, but her dog also wore white - fur that is!  Pom Pom is very close to the family and enjoyed the day like any other member of the family.  The relaxed atmosphere of the day made for a lot of fun, casual photos - we love the cute one of the ring bearer dipping the flower girl.  Their DJ was Chris Birkett www.birkettentertainment.com, he did a grat job and kept dance floor hopping.  There was never a dull moment at this party!

Nick and Bernadette's Secret Garden Wedding November 6, 2009

After doing a fun engagement session up in the White Mountains, we met Nick and Bernadette once again in a beautiful outdoor setting, only this time it was here in the Valley at the Secret Garden!  We thought Bernadette's gown was perfect for her and we loved her accessories as well.  Their son, little Panch, was proud to be a ring bearer and did a great job going down the aisle.  The reception was lots of fun - and the DJ surprised everyone by playing a song that Bernadette had recorded in the past!  

Aidan and Karie's Wedding at the Desert Botanical Gardens November 2, 2009

Aidan and Karie's wedding decor looked like something right out of a bridal magazine!  They choose the Herb Garden at the Desert Botanical Gardens for a reception under the stars (and the moon as you can see during their first dance).  The fall colors they incorporated in the beautiful outdoor setting were gorgeous.  Their ceremony was very touching and had just about everyone in tears as Karie was escorted down the aisle by her special needs son Dylan.  He did a great job!  Aidan and Karie had all of their kids there so were able to get an updated family photo!  Then, after dinner and wedding cake, guests were treated to a candy buffet.
