Three Choices

Melissa spent the time to narrow down venues to three for Justin, and that’s how it happened.  Justin loved the photography at Regency Garden and was sold!  (Of course, he also loved everything about the location, as do we)  I had a lot of fun with Justin and Melissa at their mini-engagement session.  They waited a while to get married to make sure they would still like each other (or something like that!) and I can tell that they are great together.  Here are a few fun shots from their shoot!

Getting to know the family

Over the course of booking and shooting Matt and Ana’s wedding it was fun to get to know everyone. It started off with Matt and Ana of course telling me their love story. They booked us and included invitations the package. This led to an engagement session which allowed me to meet Matt’s mom and some family and friends. Thanks Cameron for driving the boat so well. :D Then phone calls started with Summer who is Ana’s mom. I swear we should keep each other in speed dial. :) I didn’t get to give her a hug till the week of the wedding. Then the wedding day which was at the Mesa Temple was all about me cracking jokes and Matt’s dad laughing at me. Notice I said “at” me. I felt like the funniest guy in the world. It was great. Even Ana’s dad put on a fashion show for me. It was a fun time really getting to know everyone. I think Matt and Ana should do it again or at least get a sibling married sometime soon. Here are a few images from the wedding …
