Ben, Sarah & Chaeli

A year ago I received an email…a couple who are currently serving our country in the US Navy were looking for a photographer. A few short weeks later I would meet Sarah & Ben when they both came home on leave before Ben was to be shipped out for 9 months. Right by her mothers side was beautiful little Chaeli whose smile could light up a room!! The engagement photos we got that day were so touching. Ben’s love for Sarah & Chaeli was evident in every shot.
Sarah had a pretty bad break and infection in her foot just weeks before the wedding that she has been trying to deal with. You would never guess the pain she must have been in, but instead you see the beauty and grace which is Sarah. Somewhere along the way it changed from client to friend, and so to see this family become one was truly a joy for me and all the others who celebrated with them on their special day! Thank you Ben & Sarah for choosing me to capture your families beginning as I am sure you will all have a beautiful and loving life together.
XOXO, J

I am so excited to share this unforgettable wedding!!
Jon & Jenny are truly amazing as was every last detail of their wedding day. This Scottsdale couple decided to go north to Juniper Well Ranch to celebrate their wedding with friends, and family. Tucked up in the mountains of northern Arizona just outside of Prescott sits Juniper Well Ranch. Granite rocks dot the mountainside, 1000 yr old junipers offering their shade, beautiful cabins…..GORGEOUS! It was the perfect location for this laid back couple whose love for each other was so evident throughout the day. One of many great moments was when Jon sang to Jenny during the ceremony. I don’t think there was a dry eye there! Jenny has been blessed with so much talent (look at that gorgeous dress SHE made!!), and an amazing smile that I don’t think left her face all day!!
Jon & Jenny it was truly a pleasure to be a part of your day, I wish you all the happiness in what I am sure will be a beautiful life together.
XOXO, J

Above Jerome there is a spot at the very top of Mingus mountain that overlooks the entire Verde Valley. From here the views of Cottonwood, Sedona, Flagstaff and beyond will leave you simply breathless.
This is the spot Tim and Bridget chose to start their new life together.
I was so excited when Bridget contacted me about their upcoming wedding. A wedding on Halloween with the only white coming from the glow of the full moon above us. Excited does not really cover it!!
This was the most gorgeous non-traditional wedding I have ever seen! Bridget’s stunning iridescent gown, her lovely daughters in their crimson gowns, the beautiful black orchids, and the little ring bearer with the Mohawk all set in the middle of the forest was breathtaking.
The love Tim and Bridget share, and the way they incorporated the two little girls into every part of this day was beautiful. I thank you for choosing me to be a part of your special day, and wish you all a long and happy life!!
Enjoy your sneak peek!!

Finally more from the gorgeous wedding in Flagstaff two weeks ago. I was so honored to be able to second shoot for fellow photographer & friend Jennifer Fauset. Jen is an amazing photographer from Salt Lake City, Utah. Check out her site for more shots from this wedding @ Fauset Photography.
The wedding was held at the Church of the Nativity in downtown Flagstaff, which offered a beautiful backdrop for Guin & Jeff’s special day. We then had a quick stop at NAU for some more shots before heading to the reception at Thornagers on Kiltie Lane.
I realized something about myself at this wedding…as toasts were being given by the maid of honor, and the best man I found my camera hanging low around my neck and tears in my eyes. I hadn’t even realized that I was so moved by these beautiful toasts that I had failed to take one photo in the last ten minutes. I looked over to see Jen shooting away, it was at this point I realized what a newbie I am!
