The weather in Tucson is beautiful and Wedding Season is in high gear.  I am lucky enough to be extremely busy, and I’m loving it.  I have failed to keep this blog updated, and I foresee it being impossible to periodically post and share my work, so this is a consolidated post including images from some recent engagement sessions.  “Mega-Post Part Deux: Weddings” will definitely, absolutely, probably, possibly, maybe be very, kinda soon-ish.

Starting off with three engagement sessions shot at the U of A Campus.

Lee & George.  Can’t wait to share images from their Skyline Country Club wedding in March.

Emily & Gabe.  Their wedding is coming up next month! So excited.

Linda & Stephen.  Obviously Patriots fans. :)   90% of their session was shot at an undisclosed location that we were granted rare access to.  Unfortunately I can’t show those images here, but man was it fun.

Ashley & Aman.  I shot this awesome couple at Tucson Botanical Gardens way back in December.  Yes.  I’m that far behind on my blogging.  Their wedding is also coming up next month.

Kimberly & Anthony at Saguaro National Monument.  Their wedding is coming up this August!

Lisa & Shaun.  We shot some photos at Saguaro National Monument and then headed out to the place where they met: Marriott Starr Pass.  I had the pleasure of shooting their wedding in February.

Sitting in the two chairs, in front of the fireplace, where they had their first (long) conversation.  When I met Lisa and Shaun at Starbucks, I asked Shaun what brought them together.  He said, “she smiled at me”.

Re-enacting their first kiss – which was the night they met – in the parking garage. :)

For Sierra and Rodney’s Engagement Session, I was thinking Arizona wine country.  I envisioned sunset photos among the vineyards with beautiful rolling hills in the background.  So I suggested Sonoita for their shoot.  Of course I should have known that EVERYTHING would be dead out there at this time of year.  The grass is yellow, the trees are bare, and even all the vineyards were recently harvested, leaving nothing but dried up sticks.  We rolled with it anyway, and I hope this post goes to show that you don’t need anything more than an awesome, easygoing couple and some decent light to make some great photos.

As an added bonus, we had the opportunity to meet some of the awesome people at Dos Cabezas Wineworks in Sonoita.  I had to grab a few photos as Sierra and Rodney enjoyed a glass. :)

Back in November I got to shoot one of the coolest couples I’ve ever worked with.  Trista and Jeff would do anything to get a great picture, whether it meant climbing up onto a very unstable branch over a lake… or ducking under barbed wire on the side of the highway… these two were all for it!  I am so excited for their wedding!

Artists tend to draw inspiration from other artists.  But as a photographer who mostly photographs people (and most of those people not being photographers), I like to draw inspiration from my clients.  Dave and Gaby met at Sushi Garden.  So awesome that in just a few more months, they will be able to proudly say, “I met my wife/husband while enjoying some spicy tuna.”!  Anyway, my point is… if I hadn’t met this awesome couple, I never would have come up with the excellent, unique idea to shoot in a sushi restaurant.  Yet another reason why I love my clients! :)

After lunch, we went out to Saguaro National Monument to take advantage of an awesome sunset.

Jennifer’s idea to do their engagement session in Willcox at Apple Annie’s was perfect.  I have to say this might be my new favorite place to shoot.  Perfect weather, afternoon light, a sunflower field, a 10-foot tall corn maze, and a few John Deere tractors.  A photographer couldn’t ask for more.  Except of course for an awesome couple to photograph!
