BILLIE JO AND JUDD HERBERGER AT THEIR WEDDING CELEBRATION

I had the pleasure of meeting Billie Jo about half an hour before her wedding ceremony. I met her groom-to-be, Judd, about 2 hours before. I did not know much about Judd when I arrived at the location but I learned a lot quickly because the walls outside of the ballroom, called the Herberger Ballroom, are filled with his family’s history. This was a very special and unique wedding for many reasons; we enjoyed it very much.

Billie Jo’s joie de vivre is intense, contagious and refreshing; she always had a smile on her face and she just wanted us to capture the day as it went. We absolutely loved it!!

The wedding was planned by the fantastic team of George Abrams and Tyler Hemmen; they are unbelievable at what they do. Angelic Grove was in charge of the floral and overall event design. I have known Mark and Angela for a few years now and they never cease to amaze me.

Kelly Rashka was my second shooter and lighting badass.

Some of the people that made this event a success:
Event Planning: George Abrams and Tyler Hemmen
Ceremony Music: Jim Apperson Strings
Floral: Angelic Grove
Reception Band: Shining Star Band
Ceremony and Reception Venue: Westin Kierland Hotel in Scottsdale

Special Reception Performance: Michael Barnard’s Phoenix Theater Team

SERENDIPITY VIDEOGRAPHY IS BADASS

It is always a pleasure working with Serendipity Videography (link??) and photographing them was so much fun! I enjoyed it so much and I can not wait to work with them again.

Their work is fantastic; check it out if you have not seen it yet. One of the things I love the most about what they do, is that they recognize how important audio is and its power. Capturing the voices throughout the day is as important as just recording audio during the ceremony and toast. Their camera work is one of the most dynamic and exciting that I have ever seen.

Taryn and Jeff own and operate Serendipity Videography. They are both among the nicest people I have met; and their team is extremely professional and super friendly.

Thank you Kelly Rashka for helping me with the lighting and the location scouting.
