Fun, beautiful people, a cute dog, and a gorgeous desert. You don’t really need much more than that. Well, let’s just throw some horses on top and really go for it, right? When Mandy and Steven met with me about their wedding we talked about their engagement session. They wanted to make sure they got a […]

Beach weddings. For a photographer it is a dream location with potential nightmare repercussions. Today’s One Shot is a bit of a teaching moment mixed in with the lovely image.  When shooting on a beach, sand can go every where in all of the vulnerable little cracks and crevices in almost every part of a […]

On their wedding day, Kyle and Dixie-Ann shared champagne and cake together in the morning. These two get it. They held their wedding ceremony at their local church with a few of their closest friends in attendance. Kyle invited them up to the altar with them. He wanted them all to share the moment together. It […]

Today’s One Shot is a snap from Ashley and Jacob’s Sedona engagement session. I picked this image because of this stunning location. Plain and simple. Sometimes you just have to get out of the way of your own head and let the setting do the talking. This shot is all about the couple having some […]

Cowboys evoke thoughts of toughness and grit…and I’d wager Matt, a firefighter, is as tough as they come. Yet I bet he’s just a big softy when it comes to Julie. He’s quick to smile normally, but it’s plastered on his face when he looks at her. These two are one of the most well matched […]

Kelly and Rakesh’s Instagram feeds are probably one of my top rivals for cute pictures of your own dog. We’ll save that battle for another day. What I do know for sure is that they are also crazy cute together. And sharp dressers. These two were on point for their engagement session at the Tempe […]

Picking a One Shot from Dixie-Ann and Kyle’s intimate wedding at Royal Palms was really tough. Not only do these two look so stinking good in all their photos, but the Royal Palms is a dream location for me. I love using the setting to frame my subjects so much and this place is full […]

Sara and Aaron live in Chicago, met in Kansas City, and are temporarily in Phoenix while Aaron does some rehab on an injured arm. What better way to make the most of things than to put on some sweet threads, step out in your host city, and celebrate your love with a fun engagement session. We […]

My latest One Shot comes from an engagement session with Kelly and Rakesh at the Tempe Center for the Arts. This was taken on the walking bridge that crosses over Tempe Town Lake. I’ve always loved this bridge and it’s structure. However, lighting has never been ideal there as it most often comes from the […]

Emily and Kevin rock. Not just because they love dogs (perhaps more than me) and not just because she saved me the last cannoli at her wedding…though that helps. They’re just fun people to be around who are nice and welcoming. We hit it off on our very first meeting and to quote her, “she […]
