Sandra + Eric Wedding - Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale Troon North

Sandra and Eric were married on August 31 at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale Troon North, surrounded by a crowd of close friends and family. The couple had a great morning prepping for everything and the day turned out to be wonderful considering it was in the middle of the summer in Arizona.

Their beautiful wedding slideshow is available for viewing on their Client Lounge.

The Four Seasons Troon North is a beautiful resort surrounded by huge boulders and saguaro cactus in the desert.

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. ;-)

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.

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

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

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

Her bouquet was done beautifully.

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 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

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.

Friday's wedding was great! I've known Katie since jr. high and it was so cool to see her get married to such a great guy. Andrew has such a calming presence around him that makes everyone feel at ease.



The best part of the day was their first dance. Katie and Andrew both wrote and recorded songs for each other. And they had their first song to Katie's song, "I Promise You". I've included this song on their slideshow.

Allison + Anastacio at Ashley Castle

It's been 7 months since I met with Allison and Anastacio to photograph their engagement photos and it was so nice to see them both again. Anastacio came in from Minneapolis earlier in the week to be with family and prepare for the wedding while Allison has been busy getting ready to move to Minnesota.


Two months ago Destination I Do magazine decided to use a couple of their engagement photos for an article about preparing for marriage. Alli has been friends with Jennifer, the publisher, since they were children and they were both excited to see the photos used in the magazine.

It was a beautiful 101 degree weather day! (just kidding) ;-)
It was definitely a hot day here in AZ and we tried to do as much as possible inside.

Alli's Beautiful Dress


Anastacio waiting to see Allison


Her father had a hard time giving her away


After the ceremony a HUGE dust and rain storm rolled through the Phoenix area changing our plans for outdoor photos. I loved this photo of limo driver trying to help the bride with his umbrella when all of a sudden a gust turns it inside-out.


We did a few photos inside at Ashley Castle in the beautiful bridal room.

Allison, a gorgeous bride




Finishing touches before the party


I'm really enjoying giving my couples a break from the craziness of the reception to have a little more time alone. And as you can tell they both enjoyed it as well.


And this is one of my favorite photos of the day. Alli looked stunning in her dress.


And a big thanks goes out to Rachel Priddy for coming along to help me out. Thanks Rachel!

Liz and Jason were totally blessed by a break in the rain yesterday. I wasn't sure if we'd be shooting in the rain or not so I came prepared with a giant umbrella for them to use if it was raining but the sky opened up over the Grayhawk Golf Club and we were able to capture some wonderful photos.

Seeing each other for the first time that day.


Some time alone.

The bride and groom invited me to join them at their rehearsal and dinner and I snapped a few fun photos with my point and shoot camera.

Tina + Erik

This weekend I photographed Tina and Erik's wedding.

Tina got so excited as soon as I told her the guys showed up.


Her beautiful shoes


We planned the First Meeting a few hours before the ceremony as usual and I just loved how the photos cam out!

Here's Tina coming up to Erik for the first time that day.


Erik excited to see his beautiful bride!


Some moments with each other.


Here's a fun shot that I took while lying on the grass

I just loved how her dress looked with the sun in this shot.

Hurray! Tina and Erik are married!

Jenn + Rob at Orange Tree Golf Resort

This wedding was a blast! This couple was so easy to work with and the wedding day was filled with tons of excitement!

The bride, Jenn, got ready at Leidan Mitchell Salon in Phoenix and then we all headed over to the Orange Tree Golf Resort in Scottsdale.

I have to share this one photo first because I think it is my favorite photo to date. This was one of the last photos that we took before the wedding and I just love the color and light on Jenn and Rob as they spend a moment together.



Jenn popped out for a great shot of her getting her teeth Crest clean


This was such a wonderful day and her dress was so beautiful.


Jenn taking a moment to relax


Rob finishing up


We took the photos a few hours before the ceremony as is tradition with my weddings.


They enjoyed a walk together at the resort


And as you can tell Jenn was so excited to finally be "Man and Wife!"

Wedding at Caleo Resort

Saturday I was helping my friend Isaac Bailey shoot a wedding for Jenn and Chris at the Caleo Resort.

Chris was all smiles


Guests are starting to take over my job! ha!


Chris already has a hold on Jenn by the reception

Last weekend I helped to shoot a wedding with a friend for his nephew. It's always interesting shooting at weddings when I've never met the couple before, but I had a lot of fun and some creative freedom which was really nice.
Here are some of my favorite shots from the wedding day.

The beautiful wedding dress!


Jaclyn all prepped and ready

The wedding party


Can you tell they are excited?

This was a really special day. Its always great shooting a friend's wedding. We always have a fun time and it's a much easier atmosphere for me to work in since most of the people usually know me already. Alvin took over my part-time job at a church over a year ago and that's how we met. He's been such an amazing and encouraging friend in my life since then.

The wedding day started out overcast which I thought would actually be great for photos, but little did I know that the weather would become so amazing for photographs. God was definitely blessing them with a beautiful sky.

Here's some photos from the day, and the slideshow below:

Great shoes!

Last Saturday I tagged along as a second photographer with one of my good friends Tim Halberg for a wedding he had booked at the Newport Harbor Yacht Club. I had a great time coming along to snap all sorts of photos.













And earlier in the day Tim was taking a crazy shot of the guys down the staircase to the beach house they were all staying at. Here's a photo of him balancing on the railing to the stairs at the top of the second story.



You can check out his finished shot on the slideshow he posted on his site: Tim Halberg Photography.
