Danielle & Ernesto
Danielle and Ernesto got married at St Joan of Arc church in Phoenix. Both Danielle and Ernesto were raised catholic, faith is a very important part of their marriage and they both wanted to start their lives together at this beautiful church. The reception followed at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge with so many great places to go and gorgeous backgrounds, we had it easy!
They met they met sort of ‘at work’. Ernesto had just graduated with his Bachelors in Criminal Justice and Danielle was in grad school getting her Masters in criminal justice, they were doing research for ASU in the county jails when they met, such a romantic setting…
When they started dating neither one of them was looking for a serious relationship, Danielle wanted to move to the east coast and Ernesto was about to join the Phoenix police force, but somewhere along the way they fell in love and realized that one could not be without the other and after a 3 year dating period they got engaged.
Danielle and Ernesto love to travel whether it’s just a day trip to Sedona to go hiking, a weekend getaway to San Diego to hang by the beach, a vacation to the east coast to wakeboard in Florida or walk around New York City. They are always planning the next trip together 
After the ceremony Danielle surprised Ernesto by renting a vintage car just for the two of them to go to the JW for the reception, and spend some very precious moments alone, so romantic…
Ernesto is originally from Mexico and a mariachi band was a must, we were walking with the entire bridal when the mariachis came to meet them and the party started earl y, everyone joined in.
The wedding was beautiful and thanks to Victoria Canada Weddings and Events and Danielle’s mom who dedicated all of her time to the planning, the wedding was everything Danielle and Ernesto dreamed of, they loved having everyone get together to celebrate their wedding and like most couple they wished time went by a little slower on the wedding day but as they say, time flies when you are having fun!

Little Jayden is all smiles, she loves to play, definitely this girl knows what she wants! And yes, you’ll hear if she is not comfortable. She did sleep just a little bit for us, but with those gorgeous blue eyes we had to get some images of her awake too! That is a lot harder, but well worth it! Here are some of our favorites.
Amber and Travis
We had a fun engagement photo shoot, Amber and Travis are so cute together and their little puppy Barkley is adorable he reminds me of my little Joey when he was a puppy.
Some days we do get amazing sunset skies in Arizona, this day was one of those.
Artisan Cranberry Chutney
It is that time of year again, I can’t believe it is November already! I love this time of year, the great weather, the great food, lots of parties and of course Artisan Cranberry Chutney ready. This year I finally got organized and typed the recipe, thanks to my good neighbors Therace and Mary who came over one day to learn how to make it and to whom I’ve promised to give the recipe. I love making these, last year I made 200 jars and gave them all away This year I am targeting 250 jars!

Ira & Maya
My dear friend Ira came over yesterday with her super cute baby daughter. Maya is a little over two months old here.
The beginning of the photo session was promising, Maya had a full belly I had her in my arms, just as Ira is getting Maya from my arms, she managed to pee on both of us before we even took one single photo, I think we laughed more than anything. We see babies do this to their moms on almost every shoot, I am still not sure why we did not think it was going to happen to us
Here are some of our favorite tender moments.
