Maeghan & Nick

2008-07-04T11:18:00.000-07:00

Maeghan and Nick had a destination wedding at the Boulders. We had such a great time at this wedding! Everyone was so nice and welcoming, and everyone at the wedding had a ball. They definitely know how to throw a party, and Sandy from In Awe Weddings helped to make their day amazing. Thanks for letting us be a part of it!! =)

Kara and Josh Part 2

2008-06-03T09:49:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we met with Kara and Josh to show them all their wedding photos at Valley Ho, it reminded me that I needed to blog some more! These two made our jobs SO easy. We are in the process of updating our website with this wedding as one of the feature weddings, so we don't want to give away too much, but here's a few..

Jazz

2008-05-19T11:10:00.000-07:00

I just realized I never posted any shots from the Jazz festival over at Inspirador. There was great music, great food, and everyone had an awesome time. If you missed out this year I'm sure they will have a repeat next year and many other fun events in between.

Kara & Josh

2008-04-24T13:23:00.000-07:00

Kara and Josh were married at Hotel Valley Ho... this is the dress Kara changed into for the reception, so cool! There will definitely be more to come...

Chris & Adelita

2008-04-10T15:49:00.000-07:00

We shot Chris and Adelita's wedding over the Easter weekend. It was a beautiful day, an amazing setting, and a sweet couple. Cicely at Life Design Event Planning planned the event and it was gorgeous! La Dolce Pesca did the cake...she is brilliant. Here are some of our favorites from the day!

St. Patty's Day

2008-03-17T11:13:00.000-07:00

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!! Keeping up with family tradition, I made my tasty green St. Patty's Day cupcakes.. mmmm. Hope everyone has a good one, and celebrates Irish-style tonight!

Street Fair!

2008-03-14T15:37:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow afternoon we invite anyone and everyone to stop by and see us at the "Melrose on 7th Avenue Street Fair"! We'll have a booth set up and are going to be selling some of our Greece prints! We've never done anything like this before so we didn't print too many, but come by and check us out...maybe even buy a print??

Hope to see you there!!

Downtown, 7th avenue in between Indian School and Campbell

a taste of what we've got...

Adelita & Chris

2008-03-13T13:01:00.000-07:00

This past weekend Adelita and Chris had their church ceremony. They will be having another ceremony and their reception on the 22nd, so we were only there a couple hours. It was great because we got to meet their families and get to know them a little better before the big shabang, which is being planned by Cicely at Life Design Event Planning, so you know its going to be cool! They are a really sweet couple, and everyone seemed like a lot of fun! Here's a few of our favorites from the church ceremony.

Zach N

2008-03-11T15:28:00.000-07:00

We recently shot Zach, a model from LA who was in town. He was a cool dude and we shot it in sort of a mock prada ad way.

Michelle & Kurt Engagement shoot

2008-03-03T14:33:00.000-08:00

Over the weekend we shot Kurt and Michelle's engagement shoot, those two are ridiculously in love with each other...as you can probably see! The wedding is going to be at the Botanical Gardens, so they wanted to do something a little more urban/industrial for their engagement shoot. So we met downtown and found some cool spots, they were great, we're definitely excited for the wedding!

Headshots!

2008-02-28T14:27:00.000-08:00

Well, we are officially the worst blog-updaters around. We'll try to get back here more often! Kellen came in last week to get some headshots. She will soon be graduating from ASU and is a singer/actress. The great thing about people who act is that they always seem to look good in front of the camera, makes our job easy!

Steph and Jesse

2008-01-04T10:43:00.001-08:00

Hope everyone has a great new year! Some new photos to start it off... Steph and Jesse were such a cool couple. They live in California and work in the film industry, so their wedding had a Hollywood Glamour tone to it-notice the red carpet down the aisle!

Merry Christmas!

2007-12-25T11:28:00.000-08:00

Hope everyone has a good one! Our 2 year old puppy Rosie was kind enough to pose for us.... sort of. Merry Christmas!

Isabel & Max

2007-12-19T12:42:00.000-08:00

It seems as though we are lacking on new posts...we'll work on that!

As most of you know it has been raining like crazy over the last few weeks. I'm SOO happy it finally cleared up, and we are back to a nice normal AZ winter! During those rainy days our plan to shoot Max and Isabel outdoors at the Biltmore was quickly squashed. They ended up coming over to the studio and we had a lot of fun taking their photos...I'm almost glad we got rained out so we could get these shots instead! I didn't even notice the little flower painted on Isabel's nail until post production..

Michelle & Adrian's Wedding

2007-11-20T16:01:00.000-08:00

Here's some new shots from Michelle and Adrian's wedding! We were expecting it to be a tough day of shooting for us (they had a bridal party of over 40!), but everyone was so nice and laid back that it didn't seem like work at all.

a little bit of the bridal party...

Sara & John's Wedding

2007-11-15T16:01:00.000-08:00

We had the pleasure of shooting Sarah and John's wedding over at the Wright House. It was a beautiful fall wedding and everyone had a great time. Here are some of our favorite shots!

State Radio and Beautiful Girls Show

2007-11-07T13:54:00.000-08:00

Sunday night we went to see State Radio at the Rhythm Room in downtown Phoenix, they were AWESOME! The Beautiful Girls opened up for them, we hadn't heard them before, but they were great. The first shot is of the singer from Beautiful Girls, the rest are State Radio.

Christa & Pat

2007-11-06T09:20:00.000-08:00

Here are a couple shots from Christa and Patrick's wedding reception. They had a destination wedding in Italy with just the two of them and stayed in Italy for their honeymoon. When they came back the pressure was off and it was time for a party, so they had their reception at the Royal Palms in Scottsdale with friends and family. One of the cool things they hired us to do (which we had never done before) is to take shots of their guests and print them on the spot. Christa and Pat bought about 200 beautiful frames and all the supplies we would need, so as a wedding gift to their guests everyone was able to take home a nice framed photo. It turned out really well and all of the guests loved it! And the flowers were gorgeous..

Greece Wedding Photos

2007-10-31T18:11:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Sorry it has taken us so long to put these up, October has been insanely busy. We will try to blog more. Finally here are some photos from Petros and Tasha's wedding! AND thanks to Liene from Blue Orchid Designs, the photos are actually big!! They don't make churches like that around here. This is more of a sneak peak.. are currently re-designing our website and will have their wedding as a feature slideshow. We had such a great time, we're looking forward to their Arizona reception in a few weeks!

Greece 2

2007-09-27T11:06:00.000-07:00

WOW

Greece is absolutely incredible!! We haven't had much access to internet as we would have thought, but there's so much to see that it would be tough to get on here even if we did! The night we arrived we stayed in Athens. It's a very exciting city with a lot going on. These two shots are of the view from the rooftop of our hotel--the night shot is of the Acropolis--it was so cool! (click on photos to enlarge!)

The morning after we arrived we headed out to Karditsa. I didn't quite grasp how large a country Greece was until we got here. Karditsa is about 4 hours North of Athens. The city is called Karditsa because in Greek that translates to "heart", and Karditsa is literally right smack in the center of Greece, so it is the "heart of Greece". It is a modern city, and while most people in Athens spoke English, Karditsa was another story. It was fun trying to communicate, and the guy who sold us our gyros and lunchtime really got a kick out of it. The wedding and the two rehersal dinners were SO much fun. I don't want to talk about it here quite yet because we haven't had a chance to upload all the pictures, and I want to show pictures when I blog about it! So that will be the next one. But needless to say, it was an awesome experience.

On the way to Karditsa we saw Leonidis's tomb. Apparently if you look long and hard enough you can still find arrowheads from the persians. What a cool souvenier that would have been!! Here he is...

The day before the wedding Tasha's (the bride) father took everyone on a tour of the Monastaries and Lake Plastira. The Monastaries were AMAZING. The two we visited were perched on top of mountains. The whole experience just took my breath away. We weren't allowed to take pictures in a lot of the inside areas but here's some shots of the outside!

Here's a shot of Lake Plastira, we had just had on of the most amazing lunches before we got to it and were all pretty sleepy, so we didn't take as many shots as I would have liked, but it was beautiful.

After the wedding we took off with Tasha's bridesmaid's Tracy and Nadine, their husbands Jimmy and Dan, and Tasha's brother Tony and his crew to the islands. We are in Santorini right now and it is the most amazing place I have ever been. I'm going to save talking about the islands until we get back and I can upload all the photos. In the meantime here is a shot of us on the balcony of our hotelroom. They have beautiful sunsets here =)

Greece!

2007-09-19T03:56:00.000-07:00

We just arrived at our hotel in Athens! The wedding is a few hours north of here, but we are staying in Athen's for the night. Tasha's (the bride's) father picked us up at the airport and it was definitely a wild ride! Athens seems like a really cool city, we're excited to go start exploring...pictures to come!

Sara & John

2007-09-17T22:36:00.000-07:00

On Friday we went to The Farm at South Mountain to photograph Sara and John's engagement session. They were a little nervous at first (neither of them like getting their photo taken) but soon they let loose and had a good time! The setting sun gave an amazing glow to a lot of the shots, and the duo became naturals in front of the camera.

This is one of the reasons we encourage and love doing engagement sessions. Most people (ourselves included) have a hard time getting comfortable in front of the lens. With an engagement session you get the chance to see how your photographer works and get used to getting your picture taken. I would say within about 10 or 15 minutes our clients discover that it's not as scary as they once thought, and when the wedding day comes they are comletely comfortable and know whats ahead.

Heather & Jesse Engagement Photos

2007-09-10T17:24:00.000-07:00

This weekend we got to photograph Heather and Jesse for their engagement pictures. They were really laid back and fun to shoot. Their wedding is coming up pretty soon this fall and we're really excited to shoot them again!

Our new blog/ Sarah & Kenn's wedding

2007-09-08T12:04:00.001-07:00

I can't believe it, we finally have a blog. Everyone has been telling us to create one, and now its here! We'll try to update it as much as we can...=)

We think the best way to start out is with some pictures.

We were just in Milwaukee shooting Sarah and Kenn's wedding, it was a Wiccan wedding!! Neither of us had ever been to one before, so shooting it was awesome. The ceremony was a little different than we're used to, but so neat to be a part of. Kenn even wore a kilt--which I don't think has anything to do with the Wiccan part of it, but it was still fun! It was a gorgeous day (75 degrees) and they both looked beautiful!
