The love Disney so much, Vince proposed to Megan at Disney and they did some engagement photos there as well!! So it was totally fitting for them to have a Disney themed wedding!! They originally wanted to go across the street to take some night photos during their reception, but by the time they were done with all of their events they were too tired to go. So instead we did some cool inside nighttime look photos! Lena’s Flowers did an amazing job on the bouquets!! I love Megan’s bouquet! All Pro Dj’s did a fabulous job keeping the party going throughout the reception at 12 West Main. They had their ceremony across the street at the gorgeous Mesa Arts Center.


It rained on the original day we had planned their fall engagement session and they really wanted more sunny pictures than cloudy and rainy. So when we rescheduled, it was for a morning shoot instead of afternoon and I have to say that I love the light at Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve in the morning!! It is really gorgeous!! I had a great time getting to know you and can’t wait for your wedding!


They had a gorgeous elegant wedding at Trilogy at Vistancia’s Kiva Club!! Andrew does not like getting his photo taken, but he was super relaxed and had a lot of fun taking some of the photos! I loved all of the incredible flowers from Flowers by Jodi!! They had these elephants that were holding the escort cards that I thought were pretty cool, so I took a couple of them to take ring pictures on and it turned out to be one of my favorite ring pictures ever!! The Fotobooth Bus was there during cocktail hour only, but everyone was having a blast taking photos in the super cool bus! Their gorgeous cake came from Elizabeth at Frosted Art and they had an amazing ice sculpture from Custom Craft Ice! Push Play Entertainment did a fabulous job keeping the party going! Towards the end of the night, we ran outside really quick for a few night photos! I love when we get the chance to take night photos, they are always my favorite!


They held a great gatsby wedding in her parent’s backyard. During the reception they handed out handmade flapper headpieces for everyone to wear and I loved all the detail they put into the decorations!! They did such an amazing job with their theme and decorating their backyard! After the normal first dances, the bride also had a first dance with her mom!! They wanted some fun family photos as well as the normal traditional ones. It took the family a little bit to understand, but we finally got some fun ones as well! 🙂

They wanted an outdoor maternity session that didn’t look totally like the desert. So we went to the Gilbert Riparian Preserve, where even though it’s desert scenery a lot of it can not look totally like the desert! I photographed their engagement session, wedding, and now maternity. I can’t wait for their birth session and newborn session!


They had a gorgeous sunset wedding at Estrella Vista Reception Center!! Instead of a first look with DeAndre, she had a first look with her dad right before the ceremony and it was quite emotional! Right before the first dance, David Hoyt Entertainment does what’s called a love story. He reads from stories that they both wrote individually about how they met or their relationship. I love these moments, lots of laughter, tears and great emotions!


This year, the Gumps, decided they wanted to do a western themed family portrait session! I love how every outfit blends together and how the cowboy hat made it into everyone’s hands at some point! 🙂 The kiddos were so cute during this session!


They didn’t exactly plan to have a Harley themed wedding, but when the groom and some of his friends bring their Harleys to the wedding it just happens. 🙂 I loved being able to use the Harleys as props in quite a few of the photos! Her dress was amazing and made for some awesome shots during their first dance! They got married at the gorgeous Chateau de Vie, it has amazing architecture throughout the whole house!
