Brenda and Florin’s University of Phoenix wedding- Phoenix, Arizona

Congratulations to Florin and Brenda who were married at the University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals. Brenda and Florin are Cardinals football fans and season ticket holders so the location was perfect for them. I wouldn’t have thought about the stadium as a wedding venue but it was a lot of fun and a really cool backdrop for photos. Guests got the VIP treatment on the club level with views of the stadium. The ceremony site had a two tiered platform lit from below that allowed everyone to have a good view of the vows and cloaked the otherwise dark room in a warm glow.

Venue: University of Phoenix Stadium
Flowers: Wolz Florist
Cake: European Bakery

Florin and Brenda see each other for the first time before the ceremony.

Baptism photos- Tempe, Arizona

I was honored to photograph the baptism of Iris and Ben’s son. It was super cute to see little Mr. Trent in his pure white baptism suit and tie. I had not seen Trent since I took baby photos of him when he was only one- month old and wow is he getting so big and adorable!

Robin and Craig’s Usery Mountain engagement

I met Robin and Craig for their desert inspired engagement shoot at Usery Mountain Park in Mesa. The weather was simply perfect and the sky went from a soft cloudy blue to a magenta sunset as we took photos. With the exception of a few pesky cholla spines clinging on to our shoes and legs it was a fantastic engagement session. Robin and Craig were so fun I can’t wait for their wedding this spring.
