Mike and Stefanie: Married!

Mike and Stefanie were married on November 14th at the Phoenix Children’s Museum in Downtown Phoenix. According to the individuals at the museum, this was the first wedding ever there in the buildings near 100 year history. It used to be the Monroe School. Many of the native to Phoenix peeps had grandparents that probably went to this place when it was a school. Such a cool wedding. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

December 4, 2009 - 8:05 am Stefanie - AMAZING Matt! Amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing!! Can't wait to see the rest of them!

December 4, 2009 - 5:42 am Allison Cook - Just as amazing as I thought they'd be Matt. Can't wait to see more. Thank you for capturing the precious moments that we will always remember.

Family Time!

Chris and Claudia wanted to get some shots of their growing family this year.  Rylan is just three years old and just became a big brother for the first time.  Here are some of my favorites from our Thanksgiving morning session.

Megan and Virgil: Married!

I had the great pleasure of being able to shoot Megan and Virgils wedding two weeks ago and it was fantastic!  Josh Snyder came along to shoot this wedding with me as well.  Thanks Josh!  Megan and Virgil’s wedding was at Troon Country club with the beautiful Pinnacle Peak Mountain in the background.  We got a beautiful AZ sunset to go along with the wedding too.  Congratulations, Megan and Virgil!

Here is a sneak preview.
