Bethany & Greg ~ part 2 of 2

Posted on June 28, 2009

Apparently I have issues with the term “favorite.” I tried and tried to narrow this post down to my absolute faves. And this is just what will have to do. Really, how can you go wrong with such a beautiful bride-to-be, super happy groom-to-be, incredible light, amazing “props” (such as antique doors, benches, etc.)?? And can you believe it was like 108 out there - and look how good and laid back this couple looks. Me on the other hand? I was sweating like  a pig and looked just as bad as that sounds. You are welcome for that lovely mental picture.

Bethany and Greg, I wish you guys the best… I hope you will post pictures of your upcoming wedding out east sometime, because I would loooove to see them. I can only imagine how stunning and beautiful Bethany will look, and sorry Greg, but she’s just going to steal the show. The sooner you accept that, the better off it will be. :) I really want to see some pictures of the milk and cookies, too! Blessings to you both as you embark on this next phase of your journey together.

Bethany & Greg ~ Engaged!

Posted on June 28, 2009

I had the honor of working with Bethany and Greg to capture their engagement photos today. First of all, I just have to say that Bethany rocked the outfit selection like none other! Check out her shoes, yo!! I happened to mention to her that pops of color via jewelry, shoes, layers, whatever always turn out well. And when I saw her shoes, I about died. Love them. And love the fact that she could actually wear them with grace and style. You just would never want to see me even try that… it would be painful - for you and me both. Secondly, Bethany’s mom suggested taking the pictures at the absolutely amazing Hermosa Inn in Scottsdale. Wow. Wow. Wow. It was/is one of the most fun photo locations to date. I kept feeling like we were in some obscure alley or nook in Italy or Spain. What a fantastic vibe for a shoot! It even made up for the fact that it was a sweltering 108 as we started shooting. Note to self: bring water on the next Phoenix summer shoot to avoid dying.

And I think they are doing one of the most fun and playful and memorable things at their reception in August in the Hamptons…. in addition to a candy bar, they are bringing out plates of milk and cookies for dessert. Does it get any more original than that??!

So without further adieu…. here is Sneak Peak 1 of 2:

towards the end of the shoot, i was about ready to “accidently” fall into this fountain.

last but not least… this just struck me as funny. i felt like my little toyota corolla was the country hick, and all the other cars were the high class city folk who obviously are privy to information like which direction to park in the parking lot. my little corolla was quite embarrassed.
