Wedding
Private Residence in Scottsdale, AZ

My dad got married today. This is the first time we have been able to shoot a wedding for someone in our immediate families. We have shot three of my Niece/Nephews weddings, but this one was my dad. I let Angie handle all the photography responsibilities. She did so well. It allowed me to spend time with my dad and my immediate family.

I am proud, through all of the past hardships my family has been through in the past couple of years, everyone was happy. I really am close to my parents and I am so glad to see them happy. Congrats Dad!!!

Anonymous: Sweet pics people. Who is that model of a sister? What is her status? Smokin. She is what we down at the yard call a MILF. Wooooo hoooo. (26/03/07, 08:44)

Anonymous: I agree with everyone Ang. You did a super job on this special day. I'm happier than everyone so see such happiness for everyone. I wish the happy couple thousands of years of sweet happiness. You captured everyone at their best. Melanie and the kids looked so sweet. And Maddux was precious. I'm not sure what the Adam guy meant with his a-b-c message. But I agree the Model girl is hot. Has anyone seen Matt next to his mom? I bet there's some family likeness there too! Love ya Angeoleon (30/03/07, 02:06)

Engagement Session
Sahuaro Ranch Park (Glendale, AZ)

We had a great time with Karen and Scott. I shot most of the engagement session by myself (which Angie and I have decided will be best) But I also invited Angie and Maddux to come and play with me at this new park we found: Sahuaro Ranch Park. It was actually a recommendation from Karen. Even Scott was impressed! Scott is from North Carolina and came in to help with the preparations of their wedding in April. These two were so great!!! Sometimes I feel weird when asking couples to pose a “certain” way, but they made me feel so comfortable. Thanks guys for the special time with you!!!

Anonymous: I LOVE the chicken shot. And the third one after that with the backlighting--great stuff Matt! (20/03/07, 10:02)

I love all of the picture, but especially the one sitting on the stairs with the sun thing going on. My roommate, Ashley, and I oooo'd and ahhhh'd over each of them. (22/03/07, 10:52)

Engagement Session
Mill Ave. (off the beaten path)

We have really enjoyed getting to know Colleen and Jeremy. Jeremy is one of the few grooms who contacted us personally. I really respect that and wish that more grooms would take the time to help out in anyway. They both actually live in Las Vegas and it makes it fun to correspond through phone calls and emails. At first, they weren’t super excited to have an engagement session with us. But we wanted to get them out together!!!

It was UNLV’s spring break for them and they came down for their engagement session. FYI, these two are super smart!!! Jeremy is a chemist and working hard with some special studies at UNLV with Hazardous Chemicals and how to keep them out of the environment. He’ll be graduating and getting married in the same month!!! Then, Colleen will then take her turn in studying. We love those couples that are really embracing learning and knowledge together.

We decided to shoot off the beaten path of Mill Ave. and venture into some locations we have never actually been. We even ventured to the location where Colleen and Jeremy first met each other. We love the getting to know our clients!!! And Colleen is one of the sweetest girls we have ever met! Plus, she has amazing red hair and super cute. She has one of those infectious personalities that carries converstaions really well and we can tell people love being around her. They will be getting married in May at the Botanical Gardens in Phoenix, AZ. Thanks for letting us shoot this session with you two!!!

Anonymous: Great pictures! I love being able to see them so soon since I (Colleen's mother) live in Alaska. (19/03/07, 07:00)

Anonymous: You two are sooo awesome, Jeremy I am sooo proud of you!!! You both are so important to me (us) The pictures are great, & I am deffinately proud to have you as my nephew, & Colleen, your awesome, & proud to have you as part of the family... Although I already had felt like that! Love you, me, Isy (20/03/07, 08:59)

Anonymous: Jeremy/Colleen: You two look beautiful together. We are looking forward to your wedding day. I am very proud of you Jeremy. Love your cuz, Gina Rae (20/03/07, 09:47)

Anonymous: I wish that it hasn't been years since the last time I saw you guys, but it has. Because, so much time has gone by, The feeling of seeing you guys together in those wonderful pictures was really wonderful. You both are beautiful inside and out. I read the other comments left so far and the theme seems to be pride. I (we) are so proud of you as well and wish you both the best life has to offer. We look forward to the next time we see each other. Take care, Love ya. -Micke, Gabs, Isabella, and Giovanna. (21/03/07, 07:36)

Anonymous: Love the flare shots! The last shot of them in the road is my favorite shot! Great job guys!! (22/03/07, 03:34)

Anonymous: [...] Colleen and Jeremy are some of the most nice and laid-back couples we have ever met. We always love it when the groom contacts us. We really had a blast at this wedding. The weather was perfect and a little overcast. Which made for some soft-light. We also were able to shoot all of their formal, bridal party, most family, and couple shots before the ceremony which was so great. Then after the ceremony, they had tons of time to say hello to all of their friends and family. It was perfect. [...] (28/06/07, 10:13)

We both have large families. Angie has 7 brothers and sisters and I have 9 brothers and sisters. With all of those siblings, we have tons of nieces and nephews.

It was really a great time visiting the hospital less than a day after his birth. From what I gathered, everything went really well and the parents are really excited and a little tired. Congrats Guys!!!
