Engagement Guest Book Album

Well, I am back from Pinetop and had a wonderful vacation. Once I have a chance to download the pictures off of my camera I will share some of them!

However, again, I am off traveling the world. I am on my way right now to Minneapolis to shoot a wedding on 7/7/07. A photographer friend, Preston Palmer has asked me to shoot with him and I'm really excited to see Minnesota; I have never been there before.

When I have a chance I will post more pictures of this trip as well!

But, now to my headline up above.. I have been really busy this summer working on albums. I just finished Jessica and Jim's guest book album. These albums are so neat because they are from the engagement session and work as your guest book, so that you have a unique way to show off your pictures and remember who was at your wedding. These are hot hot items and everyone wants one! To view the entire album click on the image below.

Melanie + Ryan... Engagement session:)

I have been friends with Melanie for about 5 or 6 years now. I love this girl. She is one of the happiest people I have ever met and has such a wonderful heart! Recently she and Ryan were engaged and I told her I had to be able to take their pictures... she really wanted me to do them so they set a date and booked me for the wedding. I'm so happy to be a part of it.

Melanie wanted to take pictures somewhere unique and fun. She has been going up to Payson since she was little to a natural bridge and had taken Ryan up there a couple times. They asked me if I was up for something new and of course i said yes!

So, we hiked down to a really neat canyon and climbed all around the rocks. I do have to admit I have never done a session where I had to hike up and down rocks, but we had a fun time. Below are a few of my favorites!




I made them go to a really cool rock and there was water coming down from the top that got them soaked. I couldn't see it very well when I was taking the pictures, but as you can see in some of these pictures, they were really getting wet. What troopers.
















I'm so excited for your wedding Mel... You are going to be gorgeous!!!!!

Andy and Jonna

I am in Sedona right now with Melissa Jill and her assistant Virginia. Today we shot Andy and Jonna's engagement pictures. Melissa and I are tag teaming their wedding in Hawaii in October so we wanted to get some great shots of them before hand. We had such a great time running around Tlaquapaque.

Tomorrow I will be 2nd shooting a wedding for Melissa and i'm so excited because this will be my first 2nd shooting experience and I love hanging out with Melissa so it's going to be wonderful.

Anyways, below are a few of the engagement pictures I took, there are more on Melissa's brand spanking new blog that she took.

















You guys were wonderful and gorgeous!! Can't wait for Hawaii!!!!

Leeann and Matt

A couple weeks ago I met up with Leeann and Matt to do their engagement session. They are such a wonderful and fun couple! We had a blast and got some fun and amazing shots. Absolute naturals! I'm so excited for their wedding in March. They are getting married at a new resort here in Arizona called Inspirador, which looks like it is going to be amazing!

Below are a few of my favorites.


















Below is one of my favorite pictures, they were rapping and it was pretty good. I was very impressed with Leeann's mad skills!!
