Nathan and Crystal | Mesa Arizona LDS Temple Wedding Photographer

Whether they know it or not, I've been eagerly looking forward to Nathan and Crystal's wedding for a long time. I've known Crystal for a long time and have enjoyed getting to know Nathan at our meetings and our shoots and I'm so thrilled that they've found each other. We took care of bride and groom formal portraits on the Monday prior to their actual wedding and I loved that we can make awesome images at that shoot but I also love that it gave them some good time to be together (with a guy with a big camera following them around) separate from all the stress of planning and organizing and finalizing wedding details. The clouds during the final images we made around sunset are the most vibrant and dynamic that I've ever photographed at the Mesa Arizona Temple. Here are some of my favorites:

Nick and Skylar | Fountain Hills Wedding Photographer

I've been looking forward to getting these images up since we made them the week of Thanksgiving. A great looking couple at a gorgeous venue and great light to work with...it's like the stars were aligning for incredible images.

Nick and Sky were married the day after Thanksgiving at the Mesa Arizona LDS Temple







Their wedding was beautiful and the bride and groom were stunning. The next day the happy couple celebrated and gathered with their friends and family at the amazing Copperwynd Resort in Fountain Hills

I'm always excited when I know I get to work with other wedding professionals that I'm familiar with. All of the flowers and centerpieces were arranged by Vicki Sorensen. I've done more than a half dozen weddings with Vicki and love to see the floral creations that she comes up with for every event, and saying that her work adds to the quality of my images would be an understatement.

The following video is by Shaun Martineau of Capture the Memory Wedding Films and I love his work. The bride and groom and the photographer and videographer end up spending alot of time together on the wedding day and Shaun was really cool to work with.

Scott + Ashley | LDS Temple Wedding Photographer

I can't believe my little sister is married. Scott and Ashley were married almost a month ago and still as I was preparing the images for this post it still trips me out. We are all so happy for them and we are so happy to welcome Scott into our family. We had perfect weather for making images. Here are a few of my favorites:

Kenny and Kristen | Mesa Arizona, Wright House, Photographer

Kenny and Kristen's is a great love story. They were high school sweethearts, When Kenny turned 19 he went to serve a 2 year mission for his church, during that time Kristen waited for him...well she did more than just wait she planned and organized their wedding. Everything was set and booked months before Kenny was even home from his mission.
These guys had so much fun together and it was so easy to photograph how in love with each other they are as you can see from the photographs.

They were married at the Mesa Arizona LDS Temple. Later that afternoon they had a ring ceremony and a reception at the Wright House in Mesa.

Derek + Tarina | Mesa Arizona LDS Temple Wedding

Derek and Tarina were married last weekend at the Mesa Arizona LDS Temple. These two were so much fun to photograph and you can tell that they are so in love with each other as they were so into each other throughout they day they seemed to forget the camera and the whole world around them, it was really adorable. Cari of Bloomingtons Flowers did a beautiful job with the flowers, I always love the arrangements she creates and was excited to work with her again. Here are a few of my favorites:
