I am always a bit nervous when I show up to photograph a wedding and have never met the Bride and Groom other than a phone conversation. But I can honestly say, from the moment I peaked around the corner to say hi to Amy I was put to ease by her beautiful smile and super relaxing personality! Maybe it was their cool “Chicago vibe” or it just comes natural. Regardless their wedding was a beautiful day and my assistant and I immediately fell right into a creative mood!
Of course the day went off seamlessly with, the ever so talented, Regina from Meant2be Events. I cannot stress the importance of a great wedding planner! Not to mention the incomparable venue of Desert Mountain. Cherie does a beautiful job and it truly is one of the most beautiful places in Arizona!
So sit back, relax and enjoy the love story of Amy and Brian!
The “first look” with her Dad was so sweet!
Brian is just as kind as Amy and it was a joy to photograph him as well!
Brian attended a pretty prestigious school and the cuff links were a memento from there!
They read a letter that they wrote to each other while back to back. I loved the reaction as they spun around to see each other!
I saw this etch-a-sketch and asked my assistant to see if she could write Marry Me! Great job Kim!
Time for an iphone photo;)
Elevator anyone?
Ceremony time!
I was photographing Amy but then noticed I really liked the separation of them as well!
I am so lucky to be able to photograph such beautiful memories and to meet people like Amy & Brian! Congratulations to you both and maybe I will look you up next time I’m in Chi-town!
A special thanks to all the vendors and to my assistant Kim for all her help! I could not do my job without all these amazing people!
