Jenna and Cody's wedding in Pinetop!

I had such a great time shooting with Kadie and Joe. Jenna and Cody were terribly cute and I love love loved their whole wedding!




While Kadie was shooting the girls getting ready, I snuck off and grabbed some detail shots!






Cody and Jenna (er... excuse me- Codenna! hehe) decided to meet before hand.


I love it when this happens! It give the bride and groom some alone time before the ceremony and everything seems to flow well. It eases nerves too! :0)




I have been dying to get a shot like this!








Ceremony time!




WOOT! Love it! :0)



Jenna was so fun twirling around in her dress :0)




So Thanks guys- I had an awesome time!!

Purvi and Rohit at The Wigwam Resort

I'll get back to the rest of my New Orleans trip next week but I couldn't wait another day to share these images!!! Purvi and Rohit's wedding at The Wigwam Resort was spectacular and so colorful. It was a joy to shoot! :0)

Ok, so here's one shot I took and processed it two different ways. I can't decide which is better! I love color but the black and white is so classic and it really makes the henna on her hands stand out. What do you think?








They were so fun!!











and Purvi had the most wonderful smile :0)

Nola- Day One :0)

I haven't had much time to post lately so you'll be seeing a bunch of images all at once! I hope you enjoy them!!

Working for The Windsor Court was awesome! Tara came up with this incredible itinerary that I never would have been able to put together (believe me- I tried!) Day one was jam packed with things to do- wait all the days were packed!!

Off to Cafe du Monde for a beignet and coffee... (OJ for me thanks!)




Walking around and trying to get used to the humidity was crazy, but it worked out great. Bruce and I would see things inside stores that grabbed our attention and went in like insane camera toting tourists! :0P








These alligators were EVERYWHERE!!! (kinda freaky if you ask me) so of course I had to buy my son one!!! ...He's seven and likes freaky haha


Some of my favorite things to do in New Orleans was to watch the craftsmanship going on! Painters, people making masks and there was a cool cigar shop where they made them right in the store- very fun to see :0)



I can't even tell you how many recommendations I got to go to Pat O'Briens!


Hurricane anyone?








And what a perfect way to end the evening of course- listening to a little jazz!

Aaaackkk!!

I've been soooo busy! Just got back from the best assignment ever in New Orleans and had a wedding to shoot the day after I got in on Saturday (which was also awesome!) I can't wait to share the images from that one!
And now I'm traveling to Northern Arizona to shoot with Kadie Pangburn! Honestly, I'm a bit crazed but I love it when I'm this busy!

So I'll leave you with a favorite image of mine from the Nola trip and I'll make sure to take you on a day by day account of the fun times! :0)



this is just so 'Nawlins' to me!! :0)
