I met Jenna and Marc downtown at Tempe town Lake last night for their engagement shoot.  We were really hoping for some awesome sunset shots on the bridge, but mother nature wasn’t having any of that and gave us lots of dark clouds instead.  At least it didn’t rain though!  The two are planning a small destination wedding for themselves and so you need to convince them to take me with.. comments below are welcome, lol   A Huge Thank you to Michael Shandro from Shandro Photo for coming all the way from CANADA to assist me with the lighting.  I had so much fun with you all and hope you just love the photos!

I met Eily over a year ago when she booked me for her own wedding.  Eily is the owner and a musician with Sweetwater Strings.  When she told me she wanted to get some more updated shots for her website, I was excited to work with her and her musicians.  we opted for the local desert scenery, beautiful sunset and off camera lighting.  Enjoy the previews!  If you are looking for music for your wedding or any other special event, def check them out!  They are all so talented, and just great to be around.. the guitar player is hilarious too.. just sayin.

It finally arrived, the newest issue of Arizona Bride Magazine!  I was especially anxious to see this issue because not only were Jessica and Josh chosen to be featured newlyweds in this issue, but my engagement photography was featured complete with an article in which I was interviewed.  It is always fun to read a story about you Check it out on stands NOW!! and if you feel like it head HERE to vote for your favorite wedding vendors Check out the spread!

Leslie Jenkins – Wedding Noise - Justine, I'm sure it's hard to explain the satisfaction of having a publication show appreciation for your work and get a nice spread with an interview it. Congrats on this, hope to see you in even bigger publications in the future. On a personal note, I wanted to know if you are interested in exchanging blog links. Would you like your blog listed on my blogroll with just your website name or some other text? On a business note, friends of mine at Exclusively Weddings said if I ever ran into a quality wedding related website (like this one) to ask if you might be interested in listing them on your blog? Is it possible to have them listed in your navigation or footer under a category like "Wedding Resources"?. They might be open to other options if you have any other ideas. Of course, I'm sure they could pay you a fee by PayPal for your time. Enough about them I look forward to hearing back from you either way and keep up these great posts!! -- Sincerely, Leslie Jenkins Editor "Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. That is what makes a marriage last"

Sarah Bolger - So proud of you teeney. I knew this was going to happen for you. love you hugely!

justineo - Thank you Lindsay :)

Lindsay - Congratulations! That is AMAZING...but you totally deserve it!

Corissa Smith - You are amazing! :) Congrats!

Kristin and Ryan were sealed this past friday at the Mesa, LDS temple.  They followed with a beautiful reception at the Harris Building.  I loved their decor, to tie into the wintery theme, the room was covered in white sheers with red accents.  Very Festive!.  Kristin, you are gorgeous and I hope Ryan knows what a Lucky guy he is!  Happy Holidays and Congratualations.

mark - Love the cake photo!

Nicole and Brian were married last evening at the BEAUTIFUL Corte Bella  In Sun City West.  I have to say the property is just beautiful, it boasts some awesome views, gorgeous architecture, grassy areas and fountains.  it comes complete with a staff that is BEYOND friendly.  If you are looking for a property for your event, check them out!  The ceremony was held outdoors and despite some mild winds and chilly weather, the lighting was perfect for beautiful ceremony shots.  Brides.. if you are going to plan an outdoor wedding.. plan around the light.. you wont regret having a ceremony in soft sweet light. The ceremony was held about an hour and 45 minutes before sunset, leaving us plenty of time after the ceremony for the group and individual pictures.  Brian is a single father and they incorporated their daughter into the ceremony, by having Nicole present her with a necklace, complete with a promise to be there for her daughter forever… Brian’s daughter replied with a HUG smiley face ” I love you mommy”… I about lost it!  I wish you both a lifetime of love.. I can see you are deeply compatible and passionate for each other.. carry that with you always.. and let God’s love be the center of your home for many many many years to come! Enjoy the previews.   Join us onfacebook to see more photos!

Venue: Corte Bella

Entertaiment:  Jason and Kerri at Muscle Man Music
