Engaged - Rachel and Ross

Rachel & Ross - Pillow Fight

I was going to keep it a secret, but I’m still laughing about it as I edit these pictures.  See this fun little couch?  Well… it really isn’t as durable as it looks.  Apparently, a pillow fight is not such a great idea on a couch made of wood that bakes in the AZ sun all day long.  Sure enough, after that first little cracking sound, these two jumped down for the more sophisticated approach to engagement pictures.  I’m still loving the pillow fight though.

II really do hate to see all these small local businesses closing their doors, but I’ve got to admit, I am enjoying the new shooting possibilities.

Brenda Bondor — Beautiful pics. I love the one where Ross's head is leaning on Rachel's forehead and I think the one of Rachel alone is awesome. Her eyes are breathtaking. You're handsome too, Ross.   ( October 23, 2009 @ 10:10 pm )

There is not too much to say about Natalie and Tyler.  She’s beautiful.  He’s hilarious.  It was just a picture perfect day!  Charlee with Signature Events once again did an amazing job with this wedding.  I’ll provide a full list of all the amazing vendors that made this day beautiful when I post the album sneak peak… I don’t want to leave anyone out!

Kristina — Did it :)   ( October 16, 2009 @ 4:08 pm )

Jessica Aldulaimi — Marnee was a true pleasure on my wedding day. She was professional, and courteous but most importantly she made me feel comfortable and relaxed. This was priceless and very memorable for me. Our photos were just beautiful and I still love looking at them. I've seen several other wedding albums and Marnee's talent just shines. She's easy to work with and creative. In fact, we loved working with her so much that 2 years after our wedding we called her to take pictures of our newborn son.   ( October 19, 2009 @ 1:28 pm )
Diana Corry — I was astonsihed and amazed at the beauty and artistry of the photos of our son's wedding at the Biltmore. Beautiful pictures and worth all of the effort! Diana Corry   ( October 22, 2009 @ 9:25 am )
