This past week, we spent a GORGEOUS week in the the big apple...New York City. It was filled with lots of walking, sightseeing, and of course ALOT of eating. I was THRILLED to break up our mini vacation with a day of work with Brad and Kelly. It really doesn't feel like work when you spend time with these two. They are NOTHING but fun.
We jumped on the subway from out hotel and met Brad and Kelly at their FAB home in the gorgeous East side of New York. The quaint neighborhood they live in has a sweet little park across the street that made for a perfect setting for Brad and Kelly's engagement session. We had planned on shooting at Central Park and their apartment, but plans changed when we realized we had plenty to photograph just within Brad and Kelly's neighborhood including the stunning rooftop just a few floors above their apartment.
We started our session inside their lovely home with their SWEET dog Sophie. I am seriously in LOVE with Sophie. You'll understand why as you scroll down to the photos. We then walked outside and while getting a bit more comfortable in front of the camera, Brad and Kelly told us how they met and became engaged. I seriously LOVE their story...
To sum up the story of how they met, I'll just say, Brad was Kelly's dentist. Eventually, they went on a date and were smitten ever since. These two are seriously perfect together! One thing I adore about Brad and Kelly is how NICE they are. I have been so overwhelmed with their kindness and generosity. Stephen and I cannot WAIT for their wedding this fall. We felt so honored to sit on Brad and Kelly's rooftop and sip champagne while we simply got to know each other a little bit better. To see a slideshow of the engagement session, click HERE. |
| UMM.... SOPHIE, YOU ARE THE CUTEST DOG EVER! (besides my own margo of course :) |
| I love the charm of this neighborhood! |
| It just seemed appropriate to celebrate Brad and Kelly's engagement with some DIVINE champagne on their very own rooftop overlooking the city. |
| Brad picked out the ring ALL by himself for Kelly. NICE JOB BRAD! |
We walked the streets of NYC gazing into the big shiny windows and enjoying all this city has to offer. This time, the city felt a little bit different behind my lens. Stephen and I are SO excited to be working with Kelly and Brad later this fall at their wedding. Their engagement session was nothing but a TREAT. I can't wait to share their story with you later this week.
For now, enjoy this sweet picture :) |
This past Sunday, Stephen and I had the amazing opportunity to share in Heather and Jason's wedding in gorgeous San Juan Capistrano. We packed up our car and headed out from Phoenix to be a part of a beautiful wedding.
Only a few weeks earlier, we photographed Heather and Jason in Temecula for their engagement session . I knew from the beginning that their wedding would be amazing and it WAS nothing short of perfect.
The day went smoothly and the weather was more than comfortable. One thing I adore about this couple is how much they smile. I think I smiled through my camera at them the ENTIRE time. They really are just such a joy to be around. Everything from the vows to their first dance just about brought me to tears. These two are seriously one of a kind. You don't find many people who are THIS happy and THIS joyful to be around. I left the wedding feeling so honored to have witnessed such a gorgeous ceremony. I cannot say enough good things about Heather and Jason!
To start the day, Jason and Heather had their first look at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. We walked along the old hallways and tattered floors and tried our best to soak up the charm of the beautiful mission. We then headed back to the ceremony site at El Adobe and the day was nothing but perfect.
Heather and Jason, thank you for being such amazing clients and friends. We are so excited to watch what God will do in your lives. We have no doubt you both will change the world and leave a large fingerprint on the people's lives you will touch. Thank you for your kindness and love!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! Happy Wednesday!

| Seriously... nothing but smiles. Just LOVE IT! |
| 9 bridesmaids. ALL beautiful. |
| I loved how excited everyone got to dance. This was a heather sandwich. |
This past week, I spent what felt like just a "wink" in Montana. It flew by too fast and Stephen and I tried our best to soak up the tranquility of the gorgeous Montana mountains and trees. I took a much needed break from work before wedding season hits and just reflected on the goals I want to set for myself this year. I spent time with family and loved every minute of it.
My Aunt and Uncle have a sweet little Brussels Griffon named Winks. Ever since I've owned my own dog Margo, I have this strange love for every other dog as well. I have decided to take on dog portraits and just couldn't resist not taking this little pup for a bike ride along with my camera. I stopped between the daisy's on the road and watched for grizzly bears as wink's posed for me in the grass. It was a bit drizzly outside but we had enough time to snap a few photos of little winks and her wet beard.
Winks obviously isn't super fond of the camera because her beard was a bit dirty but I told her to loosen up and not worry so much about what she looked like! Happy Thursday! |
| Winks and her family will be moving back to Phoenix soon. I guess it's time to hit the road! |
| There is one thing Winks is REALLY good at. Getting her tummy rubbed! |
| This is the bike I took Winks for a ride in. She sat perfectly in the basket ready to go. Scrumptious! |
