ASHLEY AND BRANDON’S WEDDING

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:

Profesionally Lit Venues

Sometimes brides ask me if I have any suggestions to make their venues look prettier. A good photographer has to be able to use his skills to capture thebest possible look of any venue; but there is one thing that no photographer will ever complain about having. And that is a professionally lit venue. It is amazing what this can do to a venue. If you have a wedding planner, she will be able to help you find a good lightingcompany. The venue personnel will most likely be able to recommend somebody.

My favorite designers are Angelic Grove

Here are a few examples of some of my favorite setups.
