His, Hers & Theirs …

While it’s true that most engaged couples have a lot on their plate when it comes to planning a wedding, it’s safe to say that Grace and Anthony really have their work cut out for them. In addition to running their own business and seeing to each and every detail of their wedding, they also have eight (yes, you read that right, 8) kids to raise ranging in age from one to 21.

It balances out quite nicely though as three our hers, three our his and two are theirs. And if you ask Grace & Anthony, they wouldn’t have it any other way. Their true happiness was obvious too evidenced by their ability to be all smiles during their entire engagement shoot even though it was 108 degrees and about 30 percent humidity. Can you say TROOPERS?

With all that going on in their lives at least it should be a no- brainier for either of them to remember their wedding anniversary as they get set to exchange vows next month on 10-10-10. What date could possibly be better than that for a family of 10?!!

A day in the park

Toccara and Ron had to reschedule their engagement shoot due to some unforeseen monsoons. You have to love Arizona for that. But at last we picked a day full of sun and fun. The shoot went great although there was a small aunt attack on the bride to be. Thanks for being a good sport about that. Here are a few of my favorite images.

I love you Rain or … LOTS of RAIN!

Travis and Priscilla were married. And now they should make it a point to buy a lotto ticket every year because in all the years we have been shooting weddings we have only seen a ceremony rained out twice theirs being the 2nd time. Seriously we have seen some close calls. Drops of rain during a ceremony is no big deal. But Travis and Priscilla had the kind of rain that basically soaks you head to toe in a matter of a minute or two. In Arizona you can’t have any better luck in my opinion. Rain is so rare here that we get less then 10 inches a year and they had to have had an inch all just for them. I say let the rain be a sign that you have some sweet luck and love …

Besides how much luck to you need with socks like those sported by the groomsmen … just sayin.

The ceremony was moved inside and made for some great shots that will be unique only to them. Here are a few shots from the day …

One family or 8 families … no worries …

Trudy and Kelly have a few kids. Only one isn’t married yet so when they asked us to photograph their family we realized that it was more then just a few shots. :) … I know know every family is represented on this blog post but here are a few of the images Jacque and I shot of this incredibly happy and funny family … oh and as a note this was shot on the location where the Gilbert Arizona LDS Temple will be built.
