Dan and Carolyn - Giddy and in Love at the Stillwell House

Dan and Carolyn.  Giggles, Squeals and non stop smiling.  This couple glows and puts the fun in fun-loving.  Enjoy the beautiful free-spirited and beautiful wedding that united their marriage on this beautiful day.

Carolyn's mom is an amazing artist and designed and created this one of a kind invitation.

I just loved her classic lace wedding dress.  It fit her figure like an hourglass and just love the V in the back.  I must admit I really loved her purse too.

There ceremony was held at the Historic Stillwell House in Downtown.  Beautiful quaint venue.  And bonus located in our downtown with close access to amazing and unique backdrops.

Carolyn and Dan just glow with giddiness (if that is a word).  They giggle when they look at each other and have this unspoken language that only the two of them know.

See you can see it in their eyes.

Carolyn's bridesmaid is her little sister. She was wearing a vintage dress found on 4th ave I believe. It was sexy and very apropos of the venue and feel of the wedding

 

This is Carolyn's grandfather.  90+.  She just squealed with delight and I thought this was just precious.  Then grandpa proceeded to kiss her over and over seeing the reaction he got from the rest of us.  Priceless moment. 

On to our first dance following dinner.  Have you seen a picture yet, where Carolyn is not squealing with joy.  It definitely was contagious.

Ambrosia made this delicious and white lace designed cake.  The topper had two wedding couples and with Carolyn and Dan in the background made 3 couples.

Dan loves his car.  Loves......so they exited, or should I say peeled out to start their life.  If you look closely at the bottom picture you can see smoke coming off tires.  We feel bless to be a part of such a joyous wedding and amazing couple.



Sylvester and Sasha's Engagement Session at U of A

We met up with Sasha and Sylvester at the U of A campus for their engagement session.  They both went to school here and this is where they met.  It was a bit on the wet side this day.  These two love birds love to travel and have a Zest for life.

Since it was a little rainy, Sylvester brought along his umbrella he has had for years.......of coarse it is Loony Toons Sylvester the cat.  Ahhhhhh!!

Help the sky is on fire.   No, just an amazing sunset.

Meg and Ryan's E-Session

Good afternoon everyone.  Hope your week is going well as we close in on the weekend.  I have a couple engagement sessions I am going to share.  The first is Meg and Ryan.  I giggle every time I say their names because I am a fan of Meg Ryan.  LOL.  They say they don't get that from people.  But every time I say their name I think of the actress.

Meg and Ryan are just the sweetest of couples.  Pure to the heart.  You can see it in their eyes and smiles.  We had a great time up at Sabino Canyon.  Meg's mom is thrilled because apparently they are a little shy in front of the camera.  We didn't seem to have any problems, but it was probably our magic cameras.  This is for you Mom.

Enjoy.

Mario and Emily's Dream Wedding - It is all in the details

Are you ready to be O-D'd on Details.  Well get ready and get your notepad and pen warmed up.  This is Emily and Mario.  This duo is going to blow your socks off with their attention to beautiful, home made and unique attention to detail.

Oh, did I mention they are beautiful inside and out. 

Mario and Emily started their day off at Corpus Christi Catholic Church

Their colors were very pale pastels:  whites, creams, pewter and pinks.  Some things she made and I know she shopped on Etsy quite a bit.  We will start with their wedding programs.  Simple and elegant.

The runner was monogrammed with their names.  Just wait there is so much more.

After the ceremony we photographed a few places around the church.

The groom taking a few shots of his new wife.  I would too, did you see how gorgeous she is.

Then we were off to JW Marriott at Starr Pass.

This little beautiful mini bride is Mario and Emily's daughter.  She had the veil and everything. It was her day just as much as your mommy and daddy's.

So on to the amazing details.  Emily had ballerina princess bags for her daughter and the flower girl.  She gave each of her bridesmaids a personalize gift and makeup bag.  There were flowers galore, candle Abra's, crystal and more flowers.  Our favorite florist Elaine Taylor Fine Flowers did all the arrangements and just blew us away.  The Initials of our couple were beautifully glowing on the wall above our couple all night long.  Another very simple touch that makes a huge difference.  They had up lighting all over the venue giving a pink glow all around us.

Emily made this place card holder.  She took old wood she had around the house and they built this shallow box.  She then collected for months the broaches, buttons and flowers that were adhered to the front.  Small glass stones were placed inside the box probably to help the cards stay in place.   So different, So unique, So beautiful.

Now Mario helped out too.  He made these adorable signs that hung from the Bride and Groom's chairs.  He hand painted them and gave them a crackled finish. 

Back to the flowers.  I have NEVER seen a flower purse.  This is what the flower girl carried down the isle.  Is that to die for or what!!  That is an over the top detail.  Again, the florist is Elaine Taylor.

Even Emily's feet must have felt pretty.  These shoes are amazing.

I believe this is another Etsy find.  Oh-M-G, that is the cutest garter.  I do not know if I could throw one. I would want to keep them both for myself.

She carried on the crystal and fabric rosebud theme in the foyer as guest arrived.

This elegant cake was created by Ambrosia.  Our favorite cake designer.  In this picture you can see some of the pink up lighting in the background.

The first dance is always a poetic moment

The groom did a cute little dance around the bride before taking off the garter.  It got the crowd going.
