fashion bridals – phoenix wedding photographer

Right here at the beginning, let me tell any future brides reading this post, “you really must invest in professional hair and makeup for your wedding day, and there are none better in the greater Phoenix area than Louise and Kerri.” They joined me for another shoot recently and as always they hit nothing but home runs. Wait, what? A sports metaphor in a fashion post on a photography blog? Yep. it’s my blog and I make the rules.

In addition to Louise and Kerri, Julianne provided some amazing gowns from Lillian Lottie Couture and styled the models beautifully. Speaking of models, Victoria and Sarah both did a great job and embodied the vision our team had for this shoot.

cahoots – arizona extreme sport photography

Team endurance challenges are “suddenly” very popular and if you’re interested in these events then you should know about Cahoots. The good people of Cahoots held their inaugural event here in Arizona yesterday. They have two more events scheduled for 2012, Salt Lake City in August and Dallas in October.

I learnt of Cahoots through a tweet by Rachel Thurston. For you photogrpahers, yes “that” Rachel. She of the Zarias 6, of the myriad publications including some little known magazines like Glamour France, Wedding Magazine UK, and Elite Wedding, she of the little blue house with a Nova inside. That Rachel Thurston.

So I answered her tweet looking for photographers to cover the event, and that’s how I ended up in Buckeye, AZ on a Saturday morning shooting muddy people, scratch that, shooting muddy, nutty people who all looked to be having a great time. I also got to meet Rachel plus Grant Porter, Natalie Norton, and Damian Dayton. It was different from what I usually shoot, but it was a blast. Plus I made some new friends. A big win all the way around.

ashley – phoenix senior photographer

Yesterday was Easter of course, which kinda means Spring is officially here. So why not start it off with a very Spring color-inspired shoot with Ashley, the first ryfoto senior of 2012. She is a cute (look at that smile!), sweet as can be, driven young woman. She was accepted into BYU and starts this summer…one week after HS graduation! She wore some spring colored tops which looked great against the flowers and grass. Good luck Ashley, go Cougars!

par elegance – phoenix fashion photographer

The last of the photos from the recent fashion shoot feature Krystin in a dress that could be made up a million and one different ways. Louise applied the same treatment to its styling as she does hair and the result was equally fantastic. Cheers.
