Stacey and Eric’s Foothills Golf Club wedding

On her wedding day I met Stacey at her parents home where she was getting ready with her bridesmaids. Covering the walls were the most beautiful old family photos including generations of wedding portraits. Grandparents and great grandparents on their wedding day, some smiling, some reserved, every one a treasure. Stacey was lucky to wear pieces of her family history. A diamond ring, pearl necklace and pearl bracelet each with its own story to tell. Stacey and Eric were married at Foothills Gold Club in Ahwatukee. I really loved Stacey’s bouquet that tied in her lush color palette of crimson and purple. Friends and family danced the night away to celebrate Stacey and Eric’s union. I am so happy for this couple to add their wedding portrait to the family history.

Paula and David’s Royal Palms wedding- Phoenix, Arizona

Paula and David met on a cruise ship, a trip they were both on with their parents. A trip where everyone else on the boat was about 30 or 40+ years older them. A journey along the Mediterranean Sea is a pretty fabulous place to begin a relationship. Paula and David now both live in Washington DC so Arizona was a destination wedding for them and many of their guests including an whole contingency of family from Italy. During Paula and David’s engagement session last winter they kept me and each other laughing throughout the shoot so I knew their wedding was going to be fun. They had a unique plan for their day with a religious, and emotional, ceremony at Brophy Chapel for their close family in the early afternoon followed by a second ceremony in front of all their guests at the Royal Palms later in the day (with an In-N-Out Burger run in the middle). The historic Royal Palms is an exquisite venue for a wedding with meandering walkways around the property and views of Camelback Mountain towering above. Paula was an absolutely beautiful bride. In my previous engagement session blog post I wrote that David was rather handsome, but on his wedding day in a tuxedo and bow tie he was downright dashing. The party got going with music from the live band Sapphire Sky. One of my favorite parts of the party was when Paula and all her girlfriends danced their hearts out to Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone.” Thank you Paula and David for including me in your wonderful wedding!

Addy and Joel’s vintage style wedding

I was in love with Addy’s choice of dress and flowers from the minute I saw them. Addy found a delicate vintage wedding dress from the 1950s and with a feather and tulle birdcage the look was perfectly fitting. The bow toes on all the groomsmen, as well as Joel’s tie were all custom made by a friend and created from Joel’s Hawaiian shirt collection. The yellow roses in Addy’s bouquet, a bouquet made by her mother- in- law, looked absolutely scrumptious and of course sunflowers are my favorite flower. The reception followed at Joel’s mother’s home. The backyard was decorated with bistro lighting, mason jars filled with flowers, burlap accents and a eclectic array of furniture.

Selina and Derek’s Phoenix engagement session

The search was on for some color along the Salt River in Phoenix for Selina and Derek’s engagement session. We found a few yellow blooms and a ton of lovely natural settings. I love the soft color palette in these photos all peach, yellow and cream. Congratulations Selina and Derek!
