Kevin and Goli…wow, there is really too much to talk about when it comes to these two. First off they live in Ajo, Arizona, which is just crazy to begin with. I don’t know how that little town could possibly contain their personalities. I friended them on Facebook shortly after booking their wedding and I was howling with laughter on a daily basis at their status updates and banter back and forth with friends and each other. Because of the distance and insane circumstances, I didn’t meet these two until the day of the wedding at the beautiful Arizona Biltmore….

This is my wife Jina…pregnant with our surprise baby boy who will be named Asher Henry. He’s due September 15th! We took some photos last Friday evening and while it was overcast most of the afternoon, we scored 15 minutes of sunshine right before it disappeared below the horizon. I’m a lucky man. She’s never looked more beautiful.

Ever since I started storm chasing, people tell me that they want to tag along. They want to see some AWESOME lightning. And then that turned into people wanting to learn how to capture lightning and dust storms. Eventually those requests also included lessons on timelapsing as well. So…why not do all of that at once? I’ve thought about it for a long time, planned it out in my head and so this summer I’m introducing for the very first time my Arizona Monsoon Photography Workshop! I’m super excited about this…nervous yes, but thrilled to share my passion with other photographers. A…

Before Saturday I’d never shot a wedding where I started right after breakfast and finished before dinner. But Rachel and Nick just had to be different…and let me say…that was a good thing. I so very much love these two people and the photos we ended up with. Here’s a sneak peek!  

Anna and Seth…two awesome, awesome people…have had so much fun hanging with them. Their venue was The Farm at South Mountain and it is such a beautiful spot. Can’t wait to shoot there again someday! All the families on both sides were fantastic to get to know and I loved hearing a bunch of stories, especially about how Anna’s sister was adopted. Some of you may know we have our own adopted son Eli who is 15 months and it’s such a blessing to me to see how those stories turn out. The best part of the day  was seeing…

We had already shot the sand falling on the right side during our first pass through the Canyon, so on our way back he said he could make it fall on both sides. I quickly moved to this spot and was thankful for the 14mm lens I had…

Jackie and Jeremy were married this past Friday at the gorgeous Montelucia Resort & Spa. Jackie looked absolutely stunning. The night was beautifully planned by my friends at Outstanding Occasions and as always my buddy Jeff Ambrose tagged along to take some photos. Much more to come from this one…such an amazing couple and ridiculous venue. Oh and there was a photobooth!

I’ve been wanting to do a promo reel for my business ever since I first saw one done for another photographer. But that was over three years ago and I knew I wasn’t ready. I honestly had no idea who I was at the time. It was late in 2011 when I felt like I finally began to find my true voice as a photographer. That story is something I will tell at another time. Today I want to talk about this video and how it’s the culmination of everything I’ve done with photography and my life up until this very…

Here’s a frame from Jackie and Jeremy’s wedding yesterday at the beautiful Montelucia Resort and Spa. Jackie looked stunning to say the least.

Here is one of my favorite roads in all of Arizona…it’s popular of course, for obvious reasons. The long road extending downwards towards the Superstitions in the distance. One of the cooler spots in Arizona. I captured this back in February of last year…a beautifully dark winter storm was blowing through and thus I hit the road as per usual. The one thing…
