Scottsdale Civic Center Engagement: Stephanie + Paul

Stephanie and Paul are just the most gorgeous couple. They booked me to shoot their wedding this September up in the Verde Valley, which holds a special place in my heart. We met up in Scottsdale and took their engagement portraits at the Civic Center which is one of my favorite local locations. They are HUGE Ohio State fans, so of course we had to incorporate some of that fun!

I have my first weddings of the year coming up and I can't wait to share my experiences with my fantastic clients.

A Wedding for The Baby

Most families have a "baby of the family"; the youngest child that growing up, everyone looks after and  is loved especially by the rest of the kids because they're always the littlest. They're a little more protected, a little more spoiled, and a little more sweet because you long to hold on to a baby when you know there will be no others after they've grown up.

My family is lucky enough to have two babies. My sister Eryn is six years younger than I, then six years later our family adopted my other baby sister Barrett into the family so we've always grown up with the two. The day after Thanksgiving the first of our babies got married, and the day was just a bit more special and bittersweet because she was all grown up and officially on her own.

My parents have thrown four weddings in five years and now since Barrett is 15, they luckily have  a little break before the last of us are married off. I'm exhausted already thinking of the work to be done for the littlest baby's wedding. But, of course, when the time comes, I wouldn't rather be doing anything else.

Happy Happy Happy Booth

You know I love me a good party, and my sister Eryn's Bridal shower was no exception. For the party I designed a fun, festive photo booth, complete with a 8' x 8' Celebration wall with pom poms, tassels, honeycomb balls, and glitter sequins! There was also cute photo booth props galore, and it was hilarious seeing everyone get down with their bad selves and let loose in the Happy Booth. 

My newest Wedding client just booked a Happy Booth for her Reception, and I can't wait to get together with her over coffee to create the most fun Happy Booth ever.
