Dave and Beth, Married : Southern Arizona Wedding Photographer

I do believe I get to photograph the best couples in the world!  Dave and Beth are no exception.  They both have wonderful loving families that I was blessed to spend the day with.  We started out at Lowe’s Ventana Canyon where Beth got ready.

The ceremony was small and intimate but BIG on LOVE.  The venue was the Tucson Botanical Gardens, it was lush, colorful and perfectly complimented their ceremony.  The early evening light was a joy to shoot in.  Both of Beth’s parents walked her down the aisle

After the ceremony we had a little time for formals.  How perfect, the tiles on the wall behind them with Brides and Grooms from years gone by

Beth is my daughter and I always knew she was beautiful, but you showed us all so much more. I couldn’t be prouder that these two beautiful kids are so much a part of our family. That shot with her father made me cry all over again. I absolutly love them all. Great job and thank you so much for everything. We can’t wait to see them all.

“Yowza” is right, Maria! I didn’t even know them and I had tears in my eyes. You did an artfully masterful job of capturing not only the events, but the emotions that made them so very special. It makes me wish I could get married again, just so I could have you come and take pictures!

    I like to call things in my life that happen unexpectedly and turn into something wonderful “happy accidents”. I’ve had many happy accidents, meeting my husband, forgetting an ingredient in a recipe and discovering it tasted better without the ingredient, etc... Photography was another “happy accident". A friend needed someone to help shoot auto races, my husband volunteered me and bought me my first Digital SLR camera. Five years have passed since those first nights standing on a wall and trying my best to capture cars traveling 120 mph heading directly at me. It didn’t take me long before I wanted to learn how to operate the camera without guidance. My journey began and still continues. read more
