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…

The storm was seen all over by tons of people…cell phone shots of the “UFO” cloud were sent in to all the news stations. This is kind of the aftermath when it was fading away to nothing…but right as the sun was going down, when that gorgeous anvil cloud captured perfectly the colors…

A giant wedding party, an amazing band and the Arizona Biltmore…what more could you want? Congrats to Cassie & Jake…can’t wait to share more from their big day.

Here’s one from Cassie and Jake’s Biltmore wedding yesterday. We got some clouds and this happened.

On late summer afternoons, I’d sit on the porch and watch distant storms head my way over the mountains, the thunder cracking in the distance and rolling over the hills. I wouldn’t grab a camera or my phone or anything…I’d just sit back and soak up the beauty of what God made for us. Maybe someday.

Early this year Jesse Pafundi and I talked about having him come out from New York and shoot a wedding with me. So that plan happened. And then I needed someone for a photobooth and I asked my Canadian buddy Heath O’Fee who rocks photobooths up in Calgary if he could come. He couldn’t, so I invited my good friend Brian Furbush (also from New York) instead. And then Heath’s amazing wife surprised him with a plane ticket and suddenly something epic was happening. And then Chris DeAngelis decided he wanted to see a concert here and join us for…
