Aaron and Vicki



Aaron and Vicki were wed on November 8th and their receptions was held at the Wild Horse Oasis on November 8Th. They found us at one of the local bridal shows. For their one year (dating) anniversary, they surprised each other with a photo shoot. Not knowing that each were giving the same gift. Aaron chose us and Vicki chose another local photographer. They decided to go through with both shoots and then choose the photographer for their wedding based on the results. They loved us and a year later we were privilege to photograph their lovely wedding.

The girls started out at Spiral Salon. Very trendy and upbeat salon with very nice people. Vicki had the prettiest dark long flowing hair with porcelain skin.



Caught Vicki peaking out right before she walked down the isle. How cute is that.

The ceremony was at St. Thomas Catholic Church near Sunrise and Swan. Beautiful location and architecture.



Love both these shots, but the one on the right is so precious. They look like they just married their best friend.



We had a great time photographing their wedding party. They hiked through the desert for us and put up with all our suggestions. In the end....Vicki and Aaron ended up with some amazing shots of the day.





What can I say.....these are gorgeous.



One of their family members gave them a gift of hand made quilted squares. Each guest signed the square in permanent fabric ink. Then the quilt will be sewn and given back to the couple to cherish for a lifetime. That is one of the most amazing gifts I have ever seen. Truly a gift of Love.


They look so in love.

DECEMBER 24 - OH MY

First I like to say Happy Holidays to All!!! Merry Christmas or Happy Hanuka or Just Happy Holidays. I have had little time to enjoy the festivities. In fact I did most of my shopping yesterday for the 1st time. I wish everyone a safe, happy and fulfilling time with your family.

I usually do not like to blog about us. But I am going to. We had a last minute opportunity to run down to Sedona for the weekend. I am thinking - ahhhh relaxation. Jon is thinking - how can we explore every hill in Sedona and utilize every moment. Well, he won. We hiked for 7 hours on Saturday and about 4 hours on Sunday. I can't complain, I love it just as much as he does. If you know us, we are very "outdoorsy" (is that a word?)


Jon loves Native American Indian culture and studies it as if it were his own ancestors. Probably is along the blood lines somewhere. We have an extensive library of Petroglyphs photos and explore places that most do not know exist. I will have to post some of our finds as soon as I have a moment.

Before we left town, we stopped and used our timer on our camera to get these shots.




This is me trying to ruin Jon's shot. Guess I succeeded

TUCSON BRIDE AND GROOM MAGAZINE

Hello Everyone,
You should rush and pick up a recent issue of Tucson Bride and Groom Magazine. We have a two page spread of one of our recent weddings - Dina and Francis. It is so fun to be published. In addition to that, they used 9 images of ours in random articles. Below each image or at the bottom of the page, it will note: Photography compliments of Something Blue Photography. We love our pictures, but it is so comforting and encouraging to see that others feel the same as we do.

I will be sending a copy to all of my wonderful couples that were used through out the magazine.....YOU ARE FAMOUS!!

Ashley and Josh E-Session



We photographed Ashley and Josh's engagement session couple weeks back. What a great couple. They brought their sweet puppy for a family portrait to boot. We took them downtown (our fav spot) and had a great time. I think the finished results is a lot of fun and edgy. Ashley said she couldn't stop smiling as she looked at them. They are getting married Jan 3rd, so you will see their wed pics soon after. I tried some new techniques on some pics to give that edgy/trendy look. Enjoy

Dina and Francis

BUSY...BUSY....working around the clock. This wedding season has been awesome.

We photographed Dina and Francis wedding. This had to have been by far the most sentimental wedding to date. This couple is from the Philippines and had family traveling from there and other locations around the world. Their ceremony was at St. Elizabeth Seton and reception at the Westward Look

They had the fabric for their wedding attire and gifts that were given to guests brought in from the Philippines. They took dance lessons to surprise their guest with a wedding waltz that brought me to tears. There were 9 children in the wedding party. There were so many special things about this couple and their wedding that there is too many to mention.







CHECK OUT OUR NEW WEB SITE

Check out our new website!!!! It is incredible. We have already had new brides call just because they liked it. It is showcasing a ton of new brides/grooms from this past year. We still have some updating to do and it will continuously change- overall I think it is a perfect fit for Something Blue.
