Second Shooting with Jennifer Bowen

Posted in weddings

This Saturday I was lucky enough to be able to second shoot the wedding of Christy and Josh at the Firesky Resort in Scottsdale with Jennifer Bowen.
Christy looked absolutely stunning and I loved the Old Hollywood Glamour look and feel of their wedding.
We were on our way to their First Meeting and look at how gorgeous the light was here:


The handsome groom:




Christy and Josh: Thank you so much for being so much fun, so in love and welcoming. Jennifer: Once again, thank you so much for having me as your second shooter. I feel priviliged to have had this opportunity and shared this day with you.

Asia’s Bridal Shower

Posted in events

Cristi Owen

Jennifer called me about a month ago asking me to photograph a bridal shower she would be hosting for her best friend, Asia. I thought that was a great idea but little did I know what a fabulous party I was about to document. Here’s Jennifer with Asia – aren’t they gorgeous?!! I thought Jennifer looked like one of the Kardashian girls:
Jennifer thought about everything and there were so many adorable details
Asia’s favorite type of food is Mexican food so Jennifer had a classy Mexican theme and super yummy Mexican food. I loved the little cactus center pieces:


The girls were all so cute and fashionable. LOVED all their super sassy shoes: Asia was obviously overtaken with gratitude and here are some happy tears to prove it:
And here she is looking gorgeous:

All of their friends were so beautiful and so much fun:

And if you ask me, the best part of the evening – Sprinkles cupcake! Sadly, I had to leave before dessert but I’m still thinking about how amazing they probably tasted.

Jennifer, it was so nice to meet you, your family and friends. I hope we get to see each other again soon. And if I ever need to host a party, can I hire you?
Thank you for inviting me to be a part of such an awesome celebration :)

Mrs. Holloway

Isn’t she stunning? Gisele has been married to Mark for almost a year but she really wanted to have a “trash the dress” session. I wish they had a better name for these sessions. We didn’t trash her dress, we just had a lot of fun with it!
It was over 100 degrees during this session and we went out in the middle of the afternoon. She was such a trooper though!
First we stopped at this little church for some shade:
Then we found a really cool Old West bar for some much needed refreshments and met some really cool people. This is Andy:

And this is “Nasty Nick”:
And these are his boots: Back outside for some more hot fun:



Gisele, you are stunning! Thank you for being so much fun and just going along with all my craziness. I had a blast! I can’t wait to show you the rest of the photos!

"Photogether"

Posted in photography

Cristi Owen

I know, I know “Photogether” is very cheesy, but typing “Photographers Get Together” was just really long and boring. So I went for cheesy over boring.
Anyways, September 28th we’ll be meeting at the Sugar Bowl in Old Town Scottsdale at 4 pm. We’ll get something to eat, get to know each other a little and then go out and get some headshots of each other. If you are planning on coming, leave a comment so we’ll all know who we are waiting for.
See you guys there:
I’m not sure what I’m most excited about, the super yummy food, the new friends, or the picture taking!

      I would love to come, but I’ll have to let you know as we get closer to the date. I need to see about getting a baby sitter for my boys. I might be dragging along a few other girls. What is the info on it? Is there a price or are we more so just hanging out? Thanks!

      Hi Brandi,
      There’s absolutely no fee! I just wanted to meet some photographers in the area, make some new friends, ask questions, exchange information and provide each other with some updated headshots.
