Shelina and Curtis’ Troon North Golf Club wedding- Scottsdale, Arizona

Curtis makes his grand entrance with his friends and family by his side.

Shelina and Curtis started their celebration with a pre-wedding sangeet party Friday night. It was a fun and colorful event with lots of delicious food and dancing. The highlight was when all of Shelina and Curtis’ friends got up and surprised the couple with a choreographed dance routine.

On Saturday Shelina and Curtis were married at Troon North Golf Club in Scottsdale. It was a perfect Arizona day without a cloud in the sky. I loved green color palette that was everywhere from the flowers to the bridesmaids heels. Shelina was stunning with just the right amount of bling. I wish Shelina and Curtis much love and happiness.

Holly and Brett’s Iron Oaks wedding- Sun Lakes, Arizona

Brett watches as the guests begin to arrive.

Holly and Brett had an unforgettable wedding date, 11.11.11, to go along with their unforgettable day. With a ton of family and friends in town from New York it was a lively and fun crowd celebrating with Holly and Brett. Brett had some pretty awesome red and black Nikes that were a perfect match for the deep crimson roses  in the boutonnieres and bouquets.

John and Brian’s Palisades-Kepler Park wedding- Mount Vernon, Iowa

David and I first met John and Brian while working at the Cedar Rapids Gazette in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. David and I were staff photographers and John was a graphic artist at the newspaper. John and Brian have been a couple for 11 years, they are best friends and keep each other balanced in life. John and Brian share David and my love of Boston Terriers and their little maniac, Chandler, was the ring bearer/ doggie of honor. The wedding took place in a beautiful rustic lodge at Palisades-Kepler State Park in Mount Vernon, Iowa. The ceremony was simply marvelous. It was heartfelt, personal and a celebration of unity.

As a surprise for Brian, John commissioned a song that told the story of their relationship.

It wouldn’t be karaoke without Brian singing “Love Shack.”

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.
