Shooting at the Sanctuary





The Sanctuary Resort in Scottsdale is one of the most beautiful 5 star resorts in all of Arizona. I was delighted to do a photo shoot there (for their promotional literature) which featured my March 30th bride, Stephanie Stock. She was happy to put her dress on for a second time!

April 12th - in respect to those serving our country





I loved that Melissa and Nick's wedding honored those that were serving our country. Friends of the couple that couldn't make it - because they are serving our country in Iraq - were definitely remembered throughout the day - both in the toasts during the evening - and the honor guard that greeting the couple as they left the church. The reception was held at the beautiful Scottsdale Resort and Conference Center.

Erin and Ryan - April 5, 2008





The McDowell Mountain Marriot proved to be quite the beautiful resort venue for Erin and Ryan's wedding. Their traditional Catholic wedding was held earlier in the day at Blessed Sacrament Church which has a VERY special place in my heart since that is where my own mother's funeral was only a few years ago. Regardless, the ceremony and couple were beautiful and the day turned out great. I think my mother was smiling down on me that day.

Eric and Meghan - April 4th, 2008




Eric and Meghan were so much fun!! Their wedding was held at Troon North and the climax of the day was one of the most beautiful sunsets ever. Not to mention how much fun their wedding party was.

A very special wedding






I had gotten a call on Saturday the March 29th from a bride named Stephanie saying that her wedding was the very next day at the gorgeous Sassi and that her wedding photographer's child was sick and in the hospital. She needed to find a new wedding photographer - but quick. I was happy to help. Stephanie was one of the most beautiful brides (inside and out) that I had ever photographed. Her family was wonderful and gracious.

Jeanine & Marc, March 29, 2008





Gainey Ranch Golf Club was a beautiful setting for Marc and Jeanine's wedding. Most of the guests were hoping for a bright sunny day and their wish was granted. And we loved the relationship the bride had with her very special niece.

Lydia and Greg, March 22, 2008




The Westin Kierland was a beautiful setting for Lydia and Gregs vows under the Hupa after sunset. What a great couple!

Jennifer & Ryan, March 21, 2008





The Castle at Ashley Manor in Chandler, Arizona looked gorgeous on Ryan and Jennifer's big day. They couldn't be happier couple!

Ray & Marie, March 20, 2008




Ray & Marie decided to be a little "untraditional" when they decided to hold a Thursday wedding at Ashley Manor in Chandler, Arizona. It didn't put a damper on the guests partying well into the evening.

Kelly & Rob, March 15, 2008




I'd loved photographing Kelly Olson's wedding at Gold Canyon Resort - especially since I photographed her sister Kristen's wedding only 2 years ago. It was great seeing the whole family again. And there is still another sister left to get married! The adorable Meg Olson!

A Leap Day Wedding




Erica and Gary started their life together on Leap Day - February 29 at the lovely Villa Siena in Gilbert, Arizona. One Fine Day photographers Doug Williams and Stephanie Fay had a blast creating some beautiful images for this very romantic couple.
