Amy & Shaun in Sun Valley!

Amy's in the Navy, too!! She's going to medical school to follow in the family footsteps. BOTH mom and dad are surgeons and were in the Navy for a total of 47 years!! (27 for dad and 20 for mom.) Wow. Apparently a whole family of slackers.....

during her toast, Amy thanked her parents for all their hard work putting this event on. Mom made all the table cards by hand.

and then, the best father-daughter dance I've ever seen! They got me - the record skipped (gasp!), and then some medly ensued and I laughed and I cried. Outstanding!!!!!!

stay tuned for some of my favorites of Tai Kerbs!

ok, I'm off to Phoenix to shoot another wedding!!

triple digits!! wahooo!!

Location scouting with Tai Kerbs

Love working with Tai Kerbs! Can't say it enough. I flew her in to be the second shooter for Amy & Shawn's wedding last weekend, so it was even more fun than usual! The portraits started at noon - a week away from the longest day of the year - so I thought spending friday going around to the different venues at the same time we would be there on saturday would be a good idea- so we could check out the light. Noon is tough.

this one is my favorite - Tai as entire wedding party!!! ha!

So happy they went to a good home....

I always love it when my art finds a good home. Stuart and his wife Tracy have been supporters of mine for awhile, and they are my home away from home when I go to Jackson. These prints are all silver gelatin made by hand the old fashioned way in the darkroom. (a dying art!)

My favorite wedding venue - Buttercup Property

One of my favorite places to shoot weddings is this private home and grounds on Buttercup Rd.

What makes it great is that it's such a great BACKDROP to your wedding. It doesn't overshadow it, but let's your style shine through.

The grounds are great (gotta love the pond!), but also the house is well appointed for great getting ready shots..

and the grounds are a perfect place to do some portraits (not too busy or distracting, just lovely and simple

speaking of backdrops - this was right across the street!! and the lupins were peaking this June 20th.....WOW.

no matter which direction I'm shooting, it's a delight -

the lovely grounds make the tent look good from the inside.....

because it's mid-valley - the light in the evening is luscious, and lasts forever...

Here is Frank & Jill's coffee table book that I designed for them....watch it full screen (icon upper right) and then flip through the pages just like a book...
