Michelle and Craig's Engagement Session

I had the chance to hang out with Michelle and Craig a few weeks ago to capture some engagement pictures of them. Michelle is from Phoenix, but she and Craig recently moved to New York City after college to work, live and play. They are getting married this summer at Desert Mountain Country Club in Cave Creek, so I know their wedding will be absolutely beautiful. I think that is one of most beautiful golf communities I have ever seen (and trust me, there are a lot of beautiful golf communities in Arizona!)

I can't think of a word to better describe them than adorable. They are both so unbelievably nice and they simply adore each other, so our shoot was really a lot of fun. As Michelle told me when we met, they love to laugh and spend most of their time cracking each other up. How true this was. Hopefully these pictures capture that about their personalities as well of their love of each other.

Thank you for a truly fun and special day Michelle and Craig! You can view the full slideshow here.

Marian and James Wedding

It's been a few weeks since Marian and James's garden wedding at The Arizona Inn in Tucson and I cannot say enough about this wedding or them as people. The setting was breathtaking, and Marian and James shared such a geniune passion and deep respect for each other, that it made the entire day such an incredible joy to photograph. They are obviously the very best of friends, and they really did their own thing for most of the day and our time together for the bride and groom shots, so it made my "job" easy and so much fun.

Watch their beautiful slideshow here!

Also, Marian's father gave one of the most beautiful toasts I have ever heard. There was not a dry eye in the garden including mine. Congratulations Marian and James, and I wish you both a lifetime of passion, laughter and love!

Tanya Kratz from In Full Bloom in Tucson did an absolutely amazing job on the flowers.
