We stayed home to cover Shannon and Edward’s wedding here in Tucson, AZ. Beautiful reception outside under the stars. There are just some things about Arizona that are hard to beat. You can see their entire slideshow here.

Fun wedding in La Jolla a few weeks ago. We had a great couple, great weather, and a great location.

Sorry we’ve been too busy to post for quite awhile. I’ll try not to let it happen again.

Lisa and Mark

Lisa and Mark had a very pretty wedding out at La Mariposa in Tucson, Arizona. We had a lot of fun shooting this one. It was like a fairytale wedding, complete with horse drawn carriage. It was a great day all around. If you would like to see their entire slideshow, click here.

It’s in the details

One of the things we feel is so important, and we really enjoy shooting, are the details. The little things that make up the day. It’s fun to look for the little things and create an image of something that might possibly have been seen as a part of the whole, but not appreciated as it’s own little work of art. We try hard to not let a single detail slip by us. Part of why we have so much fun doing what we do.

Rachel and Stuart

We shot a wonderful wedding for a good friend’s daughter. We had perfect weather, a fun couple, and an all around great day. Here’s a little slide show of a few of their images;

Had to throw up a couple quick ones from Mitali and David’s wedding last night. The ceremony was incredible. I’ll get more posted in a couple weeks. Congrats, you two, very nice wedding.

Just had to share this email

We shot a really nice wedding a few weeks ago. The couple was great to work with, everything was just great. Well, last night we got this email from the bride, Michelle, and, wow, what a great email for us! I had to put it here to share.

Thanks, Michelle, you made our day.

Here’s the email:

Christy and Frank
I wanted to send these along. The are just a few of the comments we got from people who saw the photos you took of our wedding. Again, it was such a pleasure to work with both of you and I am recommending you to ANYONE that crosses my path!

Big warm hugs,
Michelle

“What a LOVELY slide show of the wedding! Who did all that for you? The pictures were heavenly—I watched it twice and cried both times and even Cy who doesn’t usually gush over wedding photos was noticeably impressed. It felt like a front row seat to everything—public and private. Michelle was gorgeous, of course, but so were the boys and all their beautiful friends.”

“OH WOW!!!! What a beautiful wedding!!!! I have watched the slide show at least 5 times. The photographers were amazing. The pictures even show the daylight progression through the windows. Gorgeous. And I love how they captured the little touches like the locket and M&M’s and even details on the bridesmaids dresses….and somehow the personality of people showed through….hard to explain.”

“These pictures are so beautiful, I feel as if I was there. What a wonderful wedding.”

“Incredible photos, Michelle! Thanks for sending them along. It was wonderful to relive that magical day! Hope your honeymoon was a blast ”

“This is incredible! You must be so pleased — your photographers really captured your most wonderful wedding.”

“What gorgeous pictures!”

“…absolutely gorgeous!!! Your wedding photos should be in a magazine they are SOOOOOOO good!!! : )”
