Traveling to Phoenix!!

As you all know I’ve been in the RGV Texas setting up the extension of my business here. So I’ve been in Texas more than Phoenix lately. But I wanted to let you know I am making a trip to Phoenix from July 2 to July 8!

Before I get there, I am setting up appointments and consultations with interested brides and grooms or high school seniors in Phoenix. Please let me know if you’d like to set up a wedding photography or senior photography consultation in Phoenix.

I am available for appointments July 3, 5, 6 and 7.  Please email erica@ericavelasco.com to set up a date and time or call 480-862-3363.

I’m excited to meet some amazing future clients! Don’t forget about my Photo Booth special running until August 31!

Also, as a little teaser for you, I always offer a special bonus at consultations with brides and grooms, so make sure you call to schedule a time to meet!

Published in Arizona Weddings Magazine!

More exciting news! I have been featured in the recent Arizona Weddings Magazine! It just came out late last month, and I have tons of pictures featured throughout the magazine!

One of my favorite wedding blogs, The Wedding Chicks, recently featured one of my weddings and and engagement session! Woo hoo. Pamela and Pankaj were married in late January, and had an amazing  week-long wedding celebration. I was commissioned for the Henna party and the wedding day festivities. Being a traditional Hindu wedding, I was there the morning with Pamela as she had the turmeric paste (Pithi ceremony) put all over her to cleans her as well as the Chura, where they prepare her bridal bracelets in milk. Anyway, Pamela and Pankaj had a beautiful wedding. So check out The Wedding Chicks site for their festivities. Or you can see their post on my blog here.

Natalie and Patrick were also featured on The Wedding Chicks site recently! There wedding is only a few month and a few weeks away! I can’t wait to shoot again at the Ancala Country Club and hang out with the ever fab Dawn, the wedding planner at the Club. The super sweet and smart Natalie and Patrick’s Scottsdale Civic Plaza engagement session made the Wedding Chicks’ blog and I couldn’t be happier for them!

Congrats to you both and I can’t wait for your wedding in May!
