It’s a weekend morning, which means we’ve a gazillion batteries finishing up charging for weddings and equipment & checklists strewn about the studio. It’s also time for our little mess makers to clean up their room and arrange an overly vast supply of toys.

Mom & Dad “Hey guys, it’s time to pick up your rooms”
Mess Makers “Okay!”

And the results:

Time to be a little more specific, eh? At least they’re listening.

Halloween was so much fun this year, we had an absolute blast. Mateo decided he wanted to be Superman for Halloween and he also decided that baby Lucas needed to be Superman as well. So I told Mateo, let’s pick Spiderman for baby Lucas, to which Mateo replied, “But Mommy, I want baby Lucas to be as strong as me!” I guess Spiderman is not that strong after all.

And as the night wore on, apparently, there’s been a shift in the balance of power towards Neverland, as we witnessed a single friend of Tinkerbells (Silvermist) chase the dickens out of both Supermen- sending them running for cover, at times seeking out their mommy for help and protection. It wasn’t the proudest moment in the Superman Chronicles, luckily, the cover of night kept this unsightly incident from the blog.

Some decorations from around the neighborhood.

From left to right Pete, Mateo and Lucas. Yes that’s right, the photographer’s kids can’t look at the camera. Yoo hoo - we’re over here!

You had your shot Mom, I’m going…

Isabelle in her little doggy costume.

We all went trick or treating, the kids really enjoyed it this year. Pete, little sister Isabelle and of course our Supermen Mateo and Lucas. Strike a pose Lucas.

In our neighborhood a lot of people will leave candy out if they are out trick or treating, Isabelle and Lucas have figured out that the rule “only one” does not apply when additional candies are swiped without parental awareness. We had to monitor the trick or treating, no wonder their bags were fuller than Mateo’s and Pete’s.

There were some pretty cool pumpkins

This one was pretty scary…

Lucas and Me. Notice the slight chocolate coating around Superman’s pie hole, so strange, as we hadn’t started eating any candy yet. It’s a mystery.

Mateo and Greg

Our good friends Shanda, Rex and the twins, Norma and Yager

Norma, she is totally focused on Lucas playing. she is so cute!

Yager on Britt’s lap, isn’t he adorable?!

How many lolly pops can a kid eat ?! According to Mateo, how ever many you can get your hands on!

Greg and the Boys.They’re so good in front of the camera, aren’t they.

We did have tons of kids walking around and some of them were really fun, Lucas stared at these guys for a long time.

then finally he decided it was O.K. to give them some candy, after all they did say “Trick or Treat”

Lucas ate so much chocolate, just look at that face.

We were outside for a long time and for most of it, they just ran, up and down everywhere in their Superman costumes. It was so much fun.

At the end of the night Mateo told me, “Mommy, I love my Superman outfit” and I said me too, I love my Supermen!

So now to the part that everybody has been waiting, I’ve got some people emailing me wondering what happened to the details that I promised, so here they are:

These were just so cute, little fans for their guests to stay cool

And of course since we are talking about details, take a look at this cute butterfly placed on top of the box.

the programs were also beautiful, nicely crafted with their cute flower cutout.

This one is a super original idea, their guests names and table placement were written on these beautiful autumn leaves that hang from a string, the wind made them swing back and forth so beautiful…

all the entrance doors to the reception room were marked with their initials.

The ballroom was just gorgeous, the table linens were green and the flowers white,  check out the up lighting done by SKM, everything looked so elegant.

so many details…

Tons of details, beautiful ones.

We’ve had a lot of people write us and ask questions about our blog posts, so I just thought that it will be easier if you guys leave a comment on this post and that way we can all see what everyone is writing. so please feel free to leave a question or comment bellow.

Tiffani and Eric got married at the Biltmore hotel, it was a gorgeous wedding. With both families being from out of town, a Wedding consultant was key, and I have to say that Jen Thye from ImoniEvents does an amazing job at designing and coordinating events, this one was no exception.

Here is our beautiful bride Tiffany

And of course we have to show off the groom as well. Eric is a major triathlete, one of the Triathlons that he does every year is actually here in Tempe. He totally surprised Tiffani when he proposed to her right after crossing the finish line at the Tempe Ironman.

Our happy couple…

Beautiful flowers by Flora Europa.

Who said Posed shots aren’t fun?!

Tiffany and Eric looking COOL

Jen Thye, Noida and Tiffani put so much thought into all the wedding details and there were so many beautiful details. These beautiful parasols where hand painted by tiffani (in her wedding colors), they look soooooo good!

The ceremony was perfect, Eric’s dad was the officiant, really beautiful words.

Check out the flower details on this lasso.

It is getting late and we have a wedding to photograph tomorrow so I’ll have to stop here, but I promise to share all the beautiful details of this wedding on my next blog post on Sunday.

A lot of people have been asking if we photograph babies and yes we do, it seems to happen a lot after the wedding, even more so lately. We’ve been photographing so many little babies, I had to share some of our pictures with you guys. I’ll start with some of our favorite photos from the last couple of years. This little one is Rocco at 4 weeks old isn’t he adorable?

Cade and his parents.

Sound asleep, not a care in the world. Must be nice to be a baby!

Mia was 4 months old when we did her photoshoot, this little girl knows how to work the cameras

And here we have Gianna and her mom.

Gianna and dad.

We have many more photos, we’ll show you some of our recent baby photos next…

Erin and Michael met through mutual friends, Erin was invited to a fire-breathing performance given by Michael, his resume includes fire poi, titanium staff , fire-breathing and glowstick strings (yes I had to go search the web to get the correct names), but did you see his resume? Of course Erin was super impressed with him and the fact that he was sooooo romantic (Erin’s words) was not bad at all.

They got engaged last September while on a vacation at the Caribean, and here is how it all happened. On their last vacation day at a candle light dinner by the beach a photographer came by their table and asked to take a picture (one of those pictures that they try to sell you afterwards), after the photographer took the shot as he is waking away Michael asked him to take another picture and when the photographer turned back there he was (I mean Michael) on his knee, ring and all, Erin was totally shocked, I believe she did say yes. Which brings us to the wedding day!

Erin and Michael got married last Sunday October 5th in Tucson at a gorgeous place, yep, Location, location, location… She definitely had that one right. Erin’s dress was beautiful, what a super super relaxed bride she was. The day went better than Erin and Michael had ever imagined, check out some of the photos that we got.

This was a beautiful bouquet with roses and orchids.

I just love this photo with the sun flare!

Michael does look really good with the bouquet, doesn’t he?

look at the view…

Oh yeah, let there be cake, and cake is my weakness… This one was really good!

There were so many more great pictures, it was hard to pick just a few for this blog post.

Andria and Geoffrey are two of the nicest people we’ve photographed, Their wedding was in Sedona at Los Abrigados Resort, we had so much fun photographing them. It was a wonderful wedding day, a gorgeous ceremony , a beautiful first dance, some really fun toasts and of course tons of rain during their outdoor reception… But for these two, their wedding day was perfect, you could feel the love in the air. Everybody had fun, after all it is a big day to celebrate. check our some of the photos that we got!

It’s wedding day…

They had just an outstanding scenery for their private moment.

Don’t they just look perfect together?!

And of course there is always lots of kissing involved…

The ceremony was really beautiful

We sure had tons of fun…

The outdoors just made for such a gorgeous backdrop for the first dance, these photos captured the romantic atmosphere.

And the paparazzi…

Back to the first dance…

Let there be rain. The rain poured on us but it did not keep the party from going on…

I really love these pictures in the rain…

Yep, those are Aundria and Geoffrey’s white shoes in the puddle.

And while we wait for the reception to be moved inside, nothing like a game of pool on the wedding day.

And here we are back in party mode. Aundria and Geoffrey just showed us the recipe for a memorable day, just have fun and enjoy
