A Wedding in Big Sky CountryWe arrived back home last week after spending a magical weekend in beautiful Bozeman, Montana. We were there to photograph a wedding. Obviously, that isn't unusual for us and though all of our weddings are special and we are honored to be a part of them in some small way, this one was extra special. Fact is Nick and Sarah are two of our closest friends. Sarah is a very talented artist (she carved every one of the beautiful round candles that graced each table at the reception) and Nick is a fellow landscape photographer and storm chaser. We spend a lot of time together storm chasing, capturing beautiful landscapes, hiking or just having dinner together and hanging out. Our joke every time we hang out is that we will see you again in 12 hours and it's almost true.Originally Nick and Sarah wanted us to be guests at their wedding so we could relax and enjoy the day but Kevin and I wanted to capture this very special day and we wouldn't have had it any other way.The location was perfect. The weather was perfect. Their pup, Brody, was in attendance and he looked very dapper wearing his floral necklace. Nick looked awesome, best we have ever seen him look. That's not meant to be an insult. The other thing we constantly say to each other is that we always look homeless when we are together. Glamor goes out the window when you are storm chasing, ha, ha. And ...

Standing the Test of Time Annie and Nino’s story began 12 years before their perfect wedding day on a crisp, clear fall day at a rustic farm in the mountains of Utah in 2019. As written on their “Walk Our Story” timeline dotting the side of the old, weathered barn that would host their epic reception party, Annie and Nino first met in the fall of 2007 at a bonfire on the beach in Carmel, California. They were kids at the time, he 14 and she 13. A few months later, as 2007 neared an end, Annie texted Nino to wish him a happy birthday and as they wrote it, “That text was the start of what became the love of a lifetime.”As their guests walked the length of that old, weather wall, they marveled over all Annie and Nino have done and accomplished together since. That wall at Kelly Creek Farm was covered in 12 years of collective love, loss and memories created as one. On that day Annie and Nino continued on that long journey, joining together in front of all their family and friends as husband and wife. As Annie’s father walked her down the aisle, Nino wept at the sight of his beautiful bride. They stood together in the glimmering sun as a light breeze rustled through the trees, showering them in falling leaves and recited their vows to one another, pledging to love one another as much for the rest of their lives as they did on that day.The ...
Private Estate Wedding Scottsdale, Arizona Everything about this Scottsdale wedding was breathtaking and fun! The private estate in Scottsdale, Arizona made for a striking backdrop and equally striking was the personalities of the bride and groom as wellas all who attended. Once the formalities were over these people definitely knew how to party! Jessica and Travis are also very close friends with two of our past couples, Melissa and Grey and Karima and Terry. It was so wonderful to see them all again and catch up a little! Thank you so much Jessica and Travis for having us as your wedding photographers and allowing us to be part of your special day!

This venue is gorgeous and has spectacular views of Sedona's awe-inspiring red rocks. Jim and Ken and their team at Show Stoppers of Sedona provided all the decor and floral and it made everything that much more stunning. One of our favorite officiants, Reverend Andrew Murphy of Heart of Sedona Weddings, presided over the wedding wearing a go-pro strapped to his chest to get a bird's eye view of the nuptials in progress ... a request made specifically by the couple. The party raged well into the night under the guidance of one of Sedona's best DJ's, Bobby Russell of Sedona Sounds.Thank you Nick and Dawn for having us as part of your wedding day!

LOVED this rustic chic wedding held at the Windmill Winery in Florence, Arizona! Rachael and Adam came all the way from Kentucky to have their perfect desert wedding. Both love horses and country living so the setting seemed more than appropriate for the couple. We enjoyed every moment of this lively, fun-filled wedding! Thank you both for having us as your wedding photographers!

We had such a great time!
Kavita and Sudeep celebrated the first part of their two-part coast-to-coast Indian wedding in South Beach, Miami, Florida. This was a destination wedding for everyone involved and the weekend was designed for for fun-in-the-sun!Friday evening they held a Mehndi Party and Saturday morning the held a Haldi Ceremony, all at a beautiful South Beach estate called the Orchid House. The ceremony and reception were held Saturday afternoon and evening. We started with a few photos at the Orchid House and then moved over to the ceremony venue at a high-rise on the beach known as the Shore Club. Everything took place at the Penthouse of the Shore Club and it was almost overwhelming to take in. The evening's events took place out on the patios of the penthouse and the views were out of this world spectacular. In every direction was either beach and ocean views or stunning city views of Miami's incredible skyline. To top it off the entire penthouse balcony was lit up in vivid shades of every color of the rainbow! Oh, and did we mention the cake ... WOW, what an awesome cake!!Kavita and Sudeep decided against a traditional Indian ceremony, opting instead to make it their own and incorporate many customs from various cultures throughout the world, including those of Indian culture. It was truly a stunning event and one I'm sure their ...
