Veronica + Stephen Wedding Album

I (Heather) am not there with JT on the wedding days so it's always fun for me to see the photos when I start designing the album, and with this wedding, I loved how much fun all the guys had. Check out the rest of Veronica + Stephen's wedding album design from the link below.

Gayle + Pat's Wedding Album

Here's the album design for Gayle + Pat's wedding from May. Their lovely wedding took place at the Royal Palms Resort in Phoenix, Arizona. It was absolutely gorgeous.

Another Beautiful Album

Another great album just arrived. It's hard for me to send these albums to my clients because they look so beautiful and I really just want to keep them around to remind me of the couple and my experience with them. Here are some photos of Kim and Jason's album.

They decided on an upgraded cover with two tones of leather.




A cameo image on the cover gives it a nice touch. This upgrade option is totally customizable and can include multiple images if you like.


We do all custom layouts and some pages include groups of images but my favorite pages are the ones that have one images spread across two pages.


Our albums include imprinting of your names on the cover or spine in silver or black.


And it wouldn't be finished without the wonderful JT logo to let everyone know who the wonderful photos are by. ;-)

Gayle + Pat Wedding - Royal Palms Resort - Phoenix, AZ

Gayle and Pat were married last month at the Royal Palms Resort in Phoenix, AZ. An intimate group of friends joined them for the divine affair.

Gayle and a friend prepared at the Leiden Mitchell salon...


While Pat prepared by watching the Diamondbacks game next to his daughter's newly acquired teddy bear.


Gayle's short wedding dress and shoes were so cute!


I love this photo of Gayle heading down a set of stairs on her way to go see Pat for the first time that day.


Here is there first meeting!


The lovely couple


Pat and his daughter Ashley enjoying themselves as you can see.


I hadn't met Pat before the wedding but I was glad to know that he enjoyed making those around him laugh and have a great time.


The reception place cards were all done by a great calligrapher at the Royal Palms.


The ceremony was held in the Allegra Garden which is perfect for a small wedding.


Gayle was beautiful in her dress and her flowers were amazing thanks to Dianne at Table Tops Etc.


After the reception they served some good-looking specialty cocktails.


Gayle had all of her girlfriends there to celebrate with!


The reception was decked out with some amazing designs by Table Tops Etc. It was so cool to see them have free reign to be creative.


Oh, we can't forget the fireworks show at the end of the cocktail hour!

Veronica + Stephen Wedding - Ashley Castle - Chandler, AZ

I've been looking forward to Veronica and Stephen's wedding for a while now. Both of them have been working at my favorite coffee shop Goldbar for years and we've always talked about photos way before they were ever engaged. Our big adventure was going over to California for a weekend for some fun photo in San Juan Capistrano and Newport Beach.



But it was finally time for them to get married!

Veronica's amazing dress


Veronica!




Her bouquet was done beautifully.


Stephen is just hilarious in front of the camera and he never runs out of ideas.


It's almost time to make it official at their morning ceremony.


Veronica and her girls. Two of her sisters were in the wedding.


Stephen is protected by his four brothers and two great friends.


The Bridal Party

Their wedding was so beautiful and a ton of fun, thanks guys!

Featured in Wedding Chronicle

Allison and Anastacio's wedding from April 2007 was featured in the current issue of the Wedding Chronicle in the Phoenix area.


Here is a list of the vendors that made the day run so great even though we battled through a dust storm.

Santorini, Greece - Wedding - Danielle + Lasha

Here are a few favorites from the wedding day! There are many more photos and we'll have a slideshow of the trip up a bit later but here is a preview of wedding.

Danielle was looking amazing!




Danielle has such an addictive smile


The ceremony was overlooking the Aegean Sea and with the volcano in the background




We all enjoyed a desert wine from one of the local Santorini vinyards after the ceremony.


Here is the entire group of friends and family that joined in the celebration.


Lasha and his groomsmen


Lasha and his brother Teimo


Danielle and the girls


The view was breathtaking as you can see!


After the ceremony everybody was lead through the city streets by two fiddlers to the restaurant where the reception was.


Danielle and Lasha were so great to be with and as you can see they are entirely in love with each other.

Black Sand Beach on Santorini

On the morning of the wedding we headed to one of the nearby black sand beaches on Santorini for some intimate photos of Danielle and Lasha. They weathered through the cold water for some amazing photos that I know they will go crazy over. They haven't seen these yet so this is a sneak preview from this session.





This is my favorite from the session.








Lasha can get Danielle to laugh any time he likes, even when they are both freezing.

Sunset on the Aegean Sea

After dinner the party started with the girls all taking photos and pumping the music from an iPod stereo.




The music kept pumping as the sun set on a perfect evening.




Here was our party boat

A Volcano, Are You Kidding?

We had an amazing chance to cruise over to the volcano that can be seen from Santorini. What a wonderful experience! And Danielle hiked up the mountain in her heels the entire way.

Lasha hiked over to the edge of an old caldera.




Isn't this just an amazing view of the city of Fira on Santorini!


Danielle was having a blast


Here is Danielle and her wonderful mom.

Out to Sea

The next evening we headed out for a dinner cruise in the Aegean Sea.



Lasha's family






Lasha's father and Danielle's brother, Trace.




We also stopped on the volcano for a look and an amazing view of Santorini.
More volcano photos to come.

Oia - Santorini, Greece

We went to Oia on one end of the island of Santorini. The city is built right into the wall of the caldera with most of the homes having a least half of the home as a cave.













An evening sunset from Fira.

Meet Danielle + Lasha

Danielle and Lasha are both really excited to celebrate their marriage with friends and family.

Erica + Casey's Wedding

Erica and Casey had a beautiful wedding in Scottsdale, AZ.




Erica started got ready at their home and I loved their original 50's style kitchen.


Then we headed over to their friend's home where the ceremony and reception were being held. We planned for Erica and Casey's first meeting to be on this beautiful property.



After their first meeting we headed into Old Town Scottsdale for some fun photos.




Their ceremony was great with all of their close family and friends gathering around them.

Jessica and Tim's wedding was amazing! I've known Jessica for a number of years now and it was so cool to be able to photograph her wedding. I was just about in tears as her dad was walking her down the aisle. Check out their slideshow linked at the bottom of the post.


Tim is such a stud and a super nice guy. Jessica and him are on their way to Australia where he'll play a season for the National Basketball League.



Jessica looked stunning in her Amy Michelson dress.


Their first meeting of the day








Jessica's father







Let Them Eat Cake created their tasty cake.


We did this old school style photo as well. It just seems so fitting to have it printed as a huge canvas print with a gaudy frame above the fireplace mantle. They had a heck of a time holding a serious face for it.

Allison + Ryan Wedding - Brophy Chapel & Sanctuary Resort - Phoenix, AZ

A couple of weeks ago Allison and Ryan were married at the Brophy Chapel with the reception being held at Sactuary Resort. The weather was crazy here in AZ that weekend with it raining and blowing for most of the day. Despite the crazy weather, everyone had a wonderful time celebrating with the couple and we got plenty of beautiful pictures.

Allison is a HUGE fan of shoes and I love how she had no hesitation with having blue shoes on her wedding day!


This image really speaks to me and it's hard to determine exactly why, but I believe it shows the passion that this couple has for each other.

Cool ice sculpture martini luge at the cocktail hour.
