I love these two! Seriously! I am so excited for Jussara and David’s wedding coming up next month at the Firesky Resort in Scottsdale! Jussara is like my little sister and David is such an incredible guy… just the perfect match! I am so glad to be their wedding photographer and be able to give them beautiful images to cherish forever. So we got together a couple weeks ago to shoot their engagement session and have some fun!
Can you tell how much in love they are?!
Hahaha! Love this one!
Jussara and David, I am truly happy for you! I can see how much you guys love and respect each other and this is the best you can have in a relationship. Can’t wait for the big day!

Last Saturday I drove to Heber, AZ. to shoot Shana and Rich’s wedding with my friends Kara layne and Katina Patriquin, two special girls that I love to hang out! Even having XM radio in the car (which I love!), there was no time for music! We definitely chatted all the way! Katina recorded videos of funny conversations we had, even me saying the word “McDonalds”! They think my accent is cute. Haha! Come on guys! I don’t have an accent! ;) We laughed so much the whole time! Thanks girls for all the help capturing the day!
I had a blast shooting Shana and Rich’s engagement session a while ago… and I was counting the days for their wedding! I knew I would capture beautiful images and they are super FUN to photograph! I really meant it! Shana and Rich got married at Pine Meadows Country Club and when I saw Shana that morning I couldn’t help myself from smiling ear to ear about how gorgeous she looked wearing a birdcage veil! Love it…
Married!
The coolest wedding party crew!
This is so them! He cannot keep his hands away from her! ;)
How could I not post these?!? It’s too cute!!!
After the reception we headed to a new location to shoot more portraits of the bride and groom! Shana looks like a model… Stunning!
Congratulations again Shana and Rich! Your wedding was beautiful and I am truly happy to be part of it! You guys rock! ;)

I am so excited to share some gorgeous photographs from this beautiful wedding I second shoot with Jennifer Bowen, an awesome photographer that I admire so much. It was a truly pleasure to work with someone so talented as Jennifer! Thanks again for the invite Jen! Ashley and Kyle got married at the beautiful Montelucia Resort on Paradise Valley. The wedding was beautiful and the bride was looking stunning!
They first look! They look so cute together!
Some shots of the ceremony:
Time for more portraits!
The reception decoration was so classy!
Photobooth is always so much fun! Myself, Jennifer and Philip could not miss the opportunity to enjoy ourselves too! ;) Thanks again Jen for this awesome day!
I love shooting in different locations (Canada is so pretty!) and I wouldn’t miss the opportunity to shoot such a gorgeous couple as Fran and Cory, specially in a beautiful place! I love these two and they look so perfect together…
Aren’t they adorable?! Oh, I so wish I was a photographer already when they got married in Hawai!
In front of their house with their cute lab “Phoenix”, named after the city where Cory and Fran met! Don’t be fooled by Phoenix angel’s face on this photo! He is only 4 months old and full of energy! ;)
The pretty lady! Oh, I miss this girl! Always loved her yellow favorite shoes!
Being in a small town and around so much green made me wanted to move there! First would be nice to stay close to Fran, then I started imagining all the amazing locations I would have for my photo sessions.. and I even found a perfect location to open a studio, a village with cute commercial small houses! Oh, would be perfect I thought! Then I started imagining what the winter is like… The fun would be to play in the snow.. and light the fireplace in the house, how cozy hun?! Well, I am sure I would enjoy the first days… but cold winter it’s for me! I forgot I am brazilian?! I came from a city knowing as sun city in Brazil! Can’t handle really cold weather! Besides that I really love everything I have in Phoenix… but the heat! ;)

A couple weeks ago Mark and I was in Canada visiting one of my best friends! The time we had there was a blast! We stayed in the lovely town of Burlington, close to Toronto with our friends Fran and Cory. Fran used to be my roommate in Phoenix, and since she got married with a very cool Canadian guy, they moved away and had been almost 3 years that we haven’t see each other. Fran is like my little sister and it was goal #16 of my 101 in 1001 list to visit her in Canada! I am so glad I got to spend time with them! We had wonderful 5 days exploring the city, downtown Toronto and Burlington, Niagara Falls and enjoying their cute and cozy house! I have great memories of Fran and I singing and dancing while Mark was playing drums and Cory the guitar on their basement! Really… I miss that and wish we would live closer… It was a truly blast!
Check out how much fun we had on Niagara Falls! I got some really amazing shots… This place is unbelievable!
Boat tour was much fun and just an incredible experience! Be ready to get wet!
We got a water taxi and went to Toronto Island Park. Love this shot of downtown!
CN Tower is in downtown Toronto and is the tallest free-standing tower in the world! We went to the Sky Pod, where is presently the highest observation deck in the world. From there, you can see 60-75 miles away, to the city of Rochester across Lake Ontario in the US, and see the mist rising from Niagara Falls. Super cool!
Cory and Fran, love you guys! Thank you so much for having us over and for the wonderful time we had with you! I can’t wait to see you again!
