Nathalie and Matt’s wedding was recently published on WeddingChicks.com! I’m very excited for them as their wedding was beautiful in the area of San Diego, California. A beautiful wedding at The Grand Tradition in Fallbrook, the location was amazingly tropical and just plain beautiful. Thank you WeddingChicks.com for showcasing this wedding on your front page!

I had one of my favorite, or my favorite so far, engagement session a few weeks ago. Sorry, with the Holidays, I’m a bit behind on editing! I’m so happy to finally be posting these images! I had an amazing session with Jill and Matt at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix. Since they are moving shortly to Colorado, they wanted to make sure their engagement photos truly represented the Phoenix desert, and I thought no better place was the Desert Botanical Gardens. Jill and Matt were so fun to work with! Jill is obsessed with a wedding blogsite called The Brides Cafe. You’ve seen me featured there before, so I was excited that she found me on there. Anyway, being the good bride-to-be, she wanted her engagement photos to be unique, like the one’s on The Brides Cafe. So she found a prop from Anthropologie that she wanted to use. It’s a fabric ampersand, how awesome is that! I thought….wow she totally is my kind of bride!

So part of the session revolved around a prop…but most of it revolved around love. Fresh and unique love. The kind of love that makes me so happy I do what I do. Being able to capture it is so special, and I am so appreciative that I am able to do so. Thank you Jill and Matt for letting me capture this brief moment in your life. A moment, a feeling, that I hope last’s forever.

My absolute favorite image from the session, and 2010…so far.
