Romance was in the air on June 9, 2012
Tiffany and Joel’s wedding day started off beautifully. Their venue, The Windmill Winery located in Florance AZ, is a little piece of heaven. Pure magic and romance. My first wedding here and I can’t wait to go back. I felt so inspired and creative the entire day…I am sad to say, I didn’t have time to try out all the ideas flowing through my mind. There are just too many fabulous photo spots.
My favorite part of the whole entire day – The love. Tiffany and Joel are so madly in love. It warms my heart to see their laughs, smiles and the way they look into each other’s eyes. Their wedding re-solidified the reason I LOVE what I do. I LOVE capturing these memories. It’s the best career in the world!
Tiffany’s gown from David’s Bridal fit her perfectly. She was radiant! Her hair was done by Bill at Cherry the Salon, Makeup by her bridesmaid – Kirsten Jensen (Kirsten has fabulous How-To make-up YouTube videos). Flowers by Garden Gate Flowers (Annie KcKay), Catering – Gold Star (Chef Le). Cake and deserts by Sweet Confections (Barb Jennings), Grooms Clothing – Men’s Warehouse and last but surely not least, DJ Ramma Jamma (Ramzy Saba). And – special Thank you to Kristi and Brian for 2nd shooting for me. 🙂
(Their engagement session was just as romantic.)

Tiffany - Jill they’re beautiful!!! Thank you so much for being part of our day – you did an awesome job and I’m so confident that we picked the right photographer!!! The picture of my bouquet with the scrabble forever and photos of the people who couldn’t be there literally made me cry. Thank you so much for everything!!!
Velvet - The photos are absolutely beautiful!!
Donna Brooks - Wonderful Photos. Such a beautiful venue. Who could have imagined that a barn would have such great photo ops.
Rhyan - What a beautiful, perfect day… pictures are amazing! Tiffany’s smile looks so bright- you captured her perfectly!
Hana - Your photography eye is exquisite. The happiness of Tiffany and Joel has been captured in every shot. I love what you did with the more artsy photos, taking traditional ring and cake shots to a whole new level. Their wedding looks as though it came directly from Martha Stewart Weddings. If this had been my wedding, I would be proud to look at these photos for years to come.
Ann Suing - Wonderful pictures. Beautifil bride. Tiffany Mom from Yuma would like a 5×7 of the four of you. I love the one that is posted.

caitlyn - Wow! I can’t believe I knew this girl when she was a poofy haired, awkward teenager, with her crazy blonde buddy (Kirsten), and poofy haired twin (Michelle)! What a lovely young lady! (That sounded old) And what perfect pictures to catch her elegance, goofiness, and her love of family! Glorious pictures that definitely showed the love this family feels for each other! Thanks for sharing, Tiffany, Joel, and Jill! Jill, you have a fabulous eye!!!!
