wedding rings

This was truly a dream wedding… beautiful bride, easy-going fun groom, amazing family, fun wedding party, and a gorgeous location and details.  Oh, and just absolutely perfect weather!  Ross and Rachel were such a pleasure to work with!  I really could have photographed Rachel all day.  She looked STUNNING!  I love love love love LOVE her hair and the way her eyes just pop!

We started the day at Rachel’s parents gorgeous Paradise Valley home.  I just loved their front room, these shutters, and the wedding present tower.  I thought this was a great spot to show off her gorgeous dress.

I warned you about those eyes!  INCREDIBLE!  I remember liking them from her engagement photos, but wow… I’m still blown away with how intense they are!  Yeah, I’m a tad bit jealous.  OK, maybe a lot!

The girls popped into the locker room just before the ceremony to freshen up.  Jennifer and I went in to check on them and saw this scene… love that I was able to capture this with my long lens as to not interrupt what was unfolding.

I just had to end of this shot that Jennifer Garbett got… this just makes me smile.  I honestly don’t think I have seen girls get THAT into the bouquet toss before!  There is some serious competition going on here!
