Melissa and Matt's Wedding at The Westward Look Hotel

Well, this post has been a long time coming! I had a great time shooting alongside Sergio last spring and I'm so glad I drove down because he is a lighting guru!! :0)

The ceremony took place at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church and the reception at The Westward Look Hotel

I'm posting these in no particular order and since I was helping Sergio with the light stick you'll notice there's no reception photos from me. It was great doing something different for a change. Thanks for having me!

Brad & Andrea's Wedding at DC Ranch in Scottsdale

Brad and Andrea had a super relaxed wedding at DC Ranch in Scottsdale- it was a brunch type of deal and that left of tons of time to take the fun bride and groom shoots I love!

I shot this with Kadie Pangburn, an awesome photographer down in Tucson- I love Kadie!! :0)

The Girls got ready at Dolce Salon in Scottsdale- sooo colorful, I love it!



The food was so pretty!!! I think I must have taken a million shots of the appetizers alone!





I just love Jewish weddings because of all the tradition and of course the Jewish reception for all the fun dance shots of the hora you can get! :0)

Green Saturday- Eco Wedding Dresses

I'm sure there are tons out there in your own neck of the woods, but I just found this site for used wedding dresses!

Love this idea because it's not only green but it's way cheaper to buy used! (Especially on something high dollar like the dress) :0)

check this store out!

Green Saturday- Eco Friendly Defined

I was shopping around for a recycled DVD option for when I give my clients a CD of images and came across this, which I thought was a great blurb about what some of the recycled jargon means!

(FYI, I took it straight from this site- http://www.ideareplication.com/eco_DigiPak.shtml)


What does it really mean?

Post-consumer waste:

This is waste from paper or board products that have completed their usefulness as a consumer item and have been collected through recycling programs. From an environmental perspective, the more post-consumer waste a recycled product contains, the better.

Recycled paper or board:

This contains wood fiber from paper or board that has been used before and recuperated. It can be a combination of pre-consumer waste (scraps and trimming from the paper manufacturing process), post-consumer waste and virgin fiber.

Biodegradable:

A biodegradable product that decomposes naturally, broken down by other living organisms such as fungi, algae or bacteria.


Unfortunately I'm not finding any options for recycled DVD cases out there on a consumer level. So if anyone hears anything let me know!!! :0)

However much I want to put all my favorite images on my website I can't fit them all!!! So I'm going to do it on my blog. I mean I am a photographer and not much of a writer. So be on the lookout for more faves and less text!! hehe

And without further ado...


Favorite First Kiss :0)
