JENILEE AND MATTHEW’S WEDDING AT VALLEY HO

7 comments

Jenilee and Matt had their ceremony at Christ the King Catholic Church in Mesa, AZ and their reception at the super awesome Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale, AZ. I first met Jenilee and Matthew when they invited me to dine with them at a delicious Asian bistro in Scottsdale. It was the first time ever that clients took me to dinner before they hired me and it was a blast. I get a bit emotional sometimes and this was one of those times; they are so insanely sweet. I felt so good with them, as if I had known them for years. I couldn’t stop thinking about my time with them; it truly touched my heart. OK, so you all heard it, to all my future clients: take me out to dinner and you will melt my heart and make me fall in love with you! :-)

Thank you Jenilee and Matthew for believing in my eye and for treating us so kindly.

ASHLEY AND BRANDON’S WEDDING

12 comments

Ashley and Brandon’s wedding was so much fun and they both looked amazing. Ashley’s blusher and necklace were spectacular! Their engagement session(earlier in the year) is one of my favorites, I knew that I was going to love their wedding too. Their venue, The Inspirador in Chandler, was stunning. It was my first time working there and I was so impressed with the excellent service and installation. Flowers and decor by the geniuses at Avant Garde Studio. Their DJ was sooo good, Adrian Diaz. Makeup provided by Makeup by Amanda.

The reception rocked hard and Ashley danced like I have never seen a bride dance before. I am so happy that we had a chance to photograph this wedding. Kelly Rashka was my phenomenal guest photographer.

Here are some of my favorite photos of the day:

Dana and Tom melted my heart the first time we met, it was one of my best meetings ever. Their wedding was amazing and they love each other so much. It was hard not to start crying my eyes out when they had their first look; Tom was blown away by Dana’s beauty. I enjoyed this wedding so much that at times I wanted to put my camera down and just be there :-). Thank you so much for having me.

Make-Up: Margarita GoDiva
Ceremony : San Pedro Chapel

Dana K - I can’t believe that is actual me in those photos! You really know how to make a gal look beautiful! Words cannot express how truly special these photos are to me – I’m tempted to buy all the proofs too, because they are just THAT fabulous! Seriously, I’m scheming ways to hire you for every event in my life.

Thank you thank you thank you! You made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day, and captured moments that went by in a blur for me. :D
