Round one of Rennai and David’s portraits!

They decided to meet before the ceremony to take portraits and I was soooo happy!

I love the fun and grunge backdrop!

Rennai and David say:

I have a special place in my heart for Rennai. She’s worked for our video company, MyWeddingFilm, for a number of years. So when she got engaged to David we were thrilled around here. One special thing about her wedding is that after being to so many weddings herself, she knew exactly what she liked and it showed!

Rennai and David say:

More of Kristen and Clay’s fun engagement shoot at the Arizona State Fair!

These two were a blast to shoot with and I can not wait until their wedding this spring!

So apparently you can’t ride in a ferris wheel car alone, so we paid for another fair patron to ride with me! She was really sweet and was laughing to all of her friends behind us!

We decided to shoot a few shots in what we thought was a quiet area of the fair. Instead it turned out to be a really busy walkway, oh well!

I was telling Kristen and Clay that I haven’t been to the fair since I was in high school! Blast from the past!

This game took ten minutes to get going and lasted 4 seconds. No joke. It was a total rip off!

But my favorite ride was by far the merry go round. I did come down with a severe case of vertigo after walking around amid the moving horses while spinning and looking through my lens, but it was so worth it.

Wow, to put it mildly the last few weeks have been hectic with multiple weddings a weekend and projects galore! I’m finally getting to post the rest of Mike and Amber’s wedding! It really was a fantastic wedding at Firesky Resort in Scottsdale with a fun crowd (something I always enjoy) and unusually nice weather!

I loved how Firesky has these amazing spaces all over the property. This is just outside of the lobby before you enter the pools.

Mike and Amber were amazing to work with because they knew how to work the camera and give it a little love.

Believe it or not I didn’t place the guys in this arrangement, they were just talking and laughing while we shot the girls photos.

Amber really wanted to do a few shots by the LOVE sign in Scottsdale, but right when we arrived another couple totally stole our idea! So we had to wait for a few, but I think this photo made it worth the wait.

We stumbled on this teeny tiny alley way by accident and I loved how these portraits turned out.

I told Mike to act like he was a hot shot movie star getting interviewed for a magazine like GQ and he totally pulled it off!

This series was totally fun, I told them to just keep getting closer together…

Arizona is known for it’s amazing resorts and pools and Firesky doesn’t disappoint. In addition to the pools it features these sweet cabana’s for guests to relax in. We decided it was time for Mike and Amber to relax a little too!

During the reception Amber and Mike told me they were up for heading out for ten minutes or so of night photos. I was more than happy to oblige!

To see the full set go to Darby Elizabeth Families. If you are interested in having your family photographed let me know as spots fill up quickly!

More of these amazing Four Seasons wedding photos to come!!

From Rennai and David:

I think Clint is going to make me laugh more than I can stand at the wedding. He kept me on my toes with all of his self-assigned poses and Jill and I were in hysterics over a few of them!

Stay tuned for their upcoming wedding which is taking place at the swoon-worthy Boojum Tree in Phoenix. Oh and I can’t wait to see what Jill’s dress looks like, I have a feeling it’s going to be fashion-tastic.

I just got an email from Jill…

“WE LOOOOOOOOVE THEM!! THANKS SO MUCH, SEE YOU AT THE WEDD!!!!!!!!
JILL AND CLINT”

I’m so glad they love them as much as I do! Darby
