Kara & Ian’s Wedding

I had a great time photographing Kara and Ian on their wedding day. It was held at a private estate at the base of Camelback Mountain. The
details in this house where amazing and were complimented by some beautiful flower arrangements. Kara and Ian were so relax and up for just
about anything! Her laid back attitude really shines through in our pictures! Congratulations guys – I wish you many years of laughter together!

Happy Engagement Season!

It’s engagement season!

So, today i’m posting some of my favorite pictures from recent engagement sessions. An engagement session is important so you can get to know how your photographer works before your wedding day. You’ll be more comfortable in front of their camera and you’ll get better photographs because of it. A good photographer will also be able to look at your engagement photos and then make suggestions to improve how you pose in your wedding pictures.
