Ashley and Damon are some of my favorite people. Really, they are so much fun to be around. Laughing, teasing and so romantic all at the same time. I love the chance we got to capture these sweet and amazing moments.
My favorite is the 2nd to last – I love Damon’s closed eyes and how much he just adores Ashley…. Which is your favorite?
   Suzanne and Christopher were married at Gold Canyon Golf Resort. It was a perfect Arizona November afternoon. (and I mean perfect!) Chris and I were thrilled to be involved in their wedding day. It was such a joy for us. Here are a few of their sneak peek images….Enjoy!
My favorite is the very first one….I LOVE the sky! Seriously, it was the most perfect day for an adorable couple!
My clients want to know what they should wear for their engagement session. I thought I should probably share my ideas on the blog. When planning your engagement photos here are 4 pretty engagement photo outfit ideas. 1)     What looks good on camera (and what doesn’t). As a rule of thumb, always wear clothing you are comfortable in. Don’t wear too tight, too loose, or awkward clothing. You will look better in photos when you are comfortable with what you are wearing (this rule applies to shoes as well). Comfortable can still be dressy and gorgeous….so don’t think you have to be super casual. If you have time – bring a change of clothing and get a different look in your images.
So there you go, my ideas for 4 pretty engagement photo outfit ideas. If you want to see more of these ideas in action – Click here for Engagement Sessions Yeah – That’s the title of this blog post. I know, it sounds bizarre – but really, it was an awesome shoot! I got to work with an amazing team at the end of last month. Trista with BTS Event Management put together this fabulous styled shoot at The Ice House in Phoenix, AZ. Her concept of a Bacon Dessert Bar was incredible!! Plus the Instagram booth….it was an overall wonderful theme. Best ideas for weddings I’ve seen in a while! Have you ever been to The Ice House? It’s an incredible venue in Downtown Phoenix. I’m thrilled for the opportunity to shoot there. It is a “one in a million” wedding venue. I’ve been wanting to blog this for several weeks – and I’m excited to sit down and do it now. Enjoy! All the wonderful vendors are listed below:
-BTS Event Management Trista Guzman (Planner and coordinator) -The Ice House -Almond Tree Wedding Boutique (wedding dresses) http://almondtreeweddings.com/ -Modern Revival (rustic furniture rentals, cake stands and items on sign in table and dessert bar) Shannon Sadik -Classic Party Rental (tables, chairs, linens, place settings) Christian http://phoenix.classicpartyrentals.com/ -The Flower Bar (centerpieces, bouquets, wall arrangement, petals) Megan -Glitz and Glam Cupcakes (dessert minis on dessert bar and cake centerpieces) Nicole http://www.glitzglamcupcakes.com/ -Juju’s Tutus (flower girl dress) Julie -Ashley Paige (hair and make up) http://theskinnyxo.tumblr.com/Â
I love when two people are perfect for each other. Allison and Aaron are amazing together….he will always be there for her, she will follow him anywhere. They are a fabulous team.
I love the reflection photo….And the silhouette….and the kissing photo….oh darn, it’s so hard to pick one favorite! Which one would you choose if you could only pick one?
