Hidalgo Sin Fronteras Phoenix Arizona A few weeks ago I had the honor of photographing a very special event, Reencuentro Familiar, here in Phoenix. Reencuentro Familiar was hosted by Hidalgo Sin Fronteras, and the main purpose was to reunite family members that haven’t seen each other in 20-25 years for one reason or another (some of them Visa issues). This event holds a very special place in my heart, and witnessing so many emotional reunions was so incredibly special. With family being such a big priority for me, I can’t even imagine how much these families were looking forward to reunitin ..read more

One of the bigger decisions that you and your fiance need to make in the days and weeks leading up to your wedding day is whether you want to do a first look or not. Although there's no right or wrong answer when it comes to this, it is something that can have an impact on how your wedding day plays out. What is a first Look?  So what exactly is the first look? Simply put, it's when you spend some time before the ceremony (yes, before) in a private moment where we get to capture the intimacy of you and your honey seeing each other for the first time on your wedding day. Typically we'll h ..read more

One of the biggest questions that we get from our couples is if they need to put together a list of the specific photos or poses that they want us to capture on their wedding day. Why We Don’t Use a Wedding Day Shot List  The short answer (outside of posed family photos), is no, absolutely not. We don't need a shot list, or even a Pinterest mood-board of photos that you like or are drawn to for your wedding day because you, your fiance, your family and your location are our inspiration for your big day. Some photographers will only work off of a shot list.... We are not those photographe ..read more

Have you and your fiance ever had photos taken together before? Most couples that hire us for their wedding photos haven’t. And, odds are that if you haven’t had engagement photos taken, you've also likely never had professional couple photos taken together at all. This also means that we've likely never gotten to work together to take photos either. Because of that, we wanted to give you a little bit of a feel for what it's going to be like to work with us during your wedding day. What to Expect on Your Wedding Day Our ultimate goal is to arrive on your wedding day as friends with cameras.&n ..read more
