Joseph and Stacey: Phoenix Wedding

Joseph and Stacey got married on a gorgeous October day in Phoenix, Arizona. My friend Michael Chansley passed the job along to me as he was booked for the day, which turned out to be a great blessing. I was driving back from a visit up to Colorado, and was able to make the convenient detour through Phoenix for their wedding.
Joseph and Stacey had a small ceremony at Hermosa Inn, a quaint little “Resort” in the heart of Phoenix, and a much larger reception the next day at the Foothills Golf Club. Both the ceremony and reception were absolutely beautiful and a lot of fun.

“Unity Sand” and “Unity Candles” are both very popular traditions for a lot of couples these days.  Joseph and Stacey, however, chose to do things a little different.  Being that they are both big wine connoisseurs, they decided to each pick their favorite wine to mix together into one new and distinct flavor.  How unique!

Congratulations to you both!

I’m Married!

Anna and I got married here in Dongguan on January 29th, 2011.  We had a very small ceremony, four of us plus the minister, and it couldn’t have been better.  We did however miss seeing all of our friends and family and as a result are planning a couple wedding parties for them when we come back to the States.

Anna’s older sister was a huge help in a lot of ways, including taking all the candid pictures before and after the ceremony.  I have included a couple of the candids along with the formal portraits I did of us after the ceremony.

Waiting…

Angela and Joe : Fort Collins Wedding

I made another trip up to Colorado for Angela and Joe’s wedding.  The trip was absolutely beautiful with all the fall colors; but I will have to save those details for another post.  I have known Angela since high school; and last summer photographed her sister Ashlie’s wedding.  Everything ended up being beautiful for the wedding; the venue, the weather, and most of all the bride and groom.  Congratulations and many blessings to you both!

Thanks for looking,

Dave and Juju: Tucson Wedding

Dave and Juju’s wedding is one that has been a long time coming. Juju is from India, and it was only in the last couple months that God finally worked things out for her coming over to the States.  I know they were both very excited for this day to finally come.  The wedding was down at the The First United Methodist Church, where the wedding was held, is the oldest mainline denomination church in Tucson and was originally built in 1879.  The reception was help in the original building.

Some of the Goshen Ministries Choir provided some amazing worship and dance during the reception. The choir “performs Christian songs in Swahili, Kirundi, French and English. The members are all refugees from Congo, Tanzania, Burundi, and Chad and are in their early teens and mid twenties.”  I loved watching them perform, very cool

Congratulations and many blessings to Dave and Juju

Joshua and Taryn – Tucson, Arizona Wedding

Joshua and Taryn first met while attending a school of ministry out in California. I had only met Joshua maybe a handful of times before the wedding, and Taryn a handful more before we started wedding planning. It was great getting to know both of them a little better, as well as Taryn’s family through the the process. Many blessings to both of you!

It seems like every time I post wedding pictures I include more and more of them. I would like to think it is because each wedding turns out better than the previous one; I’ll let you be the judge of that though! Thank you to Michael Chansley for his help with the guys formal pictures and during the ceremony!

I met up with the girls over at Traildust town for the formals. Despite the fact that it was 1:15 in the afternoon and about 115*, the pictures turned out great.

It’s official! congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Amberson

The reception was held at the Tucson Botanical Gardens  The gardens made for a beautiful place for pictures and also provided enough shade to keep things from being unbarable.

The wedding party (minus one) Apparently someone was lost in the woods!

So is it better to play it safe or to get a little crazy when cutting the cake? Joshua and Taryn took the safe road.

Toasts, a little laughs, a little tears, and plenty of good memories.

Dooley Wilhelm Wedding with Travis Williams Photography

A month, two or three ago, man how time flies, I had the opportunity to second shoot a wedding with Travis Williams Photograph. It’s always great working with Travis; and it is always such a good experience working with other photographers to learn and grow. I always seem to pick up little tricks along the way.  It was a beautiful Tucson spring wedding at Oasis at Wild Horse and a great couple.

You can check out some of Travis’ photos from the day here

I am looking forward to a beautiful wedding this Saturday with a reception over at the Tucson Botanical.Gardens, and an engagement shoot this Sunday!

Thanks for looking,

Jared and Marci: Tucson Wedding

It was a beautiful day for a wedding; the mountains were covered in a fresh dusting of snow and the sun would occasionally come out making them shine.  Perhaps it was just a beautiful day in general; because if I wasn’t at the wedding I would have been hiking up the side of a mountain.  The ceremony was held at Catalina Methodist Church near Speedway and Country Club, and the reception was held down at the Pima Air and Space Museum.  I had never been down to the museum before and it is a very cool place.  Although it is a difficult place to photograph; you do get some very unique images.  Congratulations to Jared and Marci, may God bless your marriage and the many years you will spend together.

Mr. and Mrs. Darren Scott

As far as weddings go; this ranks up with the best wedding I have ever been to. Both Darren and Terra are always such a joy to work with; I’m sure this is evident from the pictures. Their wedding itself was also incredible creative, beautiful and fun. Put it all together and you have one great time!

A wedding dress and Chucks… I love it!

I love the red Chucks; they are just so much fun and fit the couple perfectly

The idea was to repeat after the Pastor (without getting tongue tied)  They resorted to reading off the notes.

Making it official.  Although this picture is fairly serious; I have never seen a couple so excited to be married.

Half of the cupcake was almost lost to the floor; saved only by a quick catch on Darren’s part.  As I always heard growing up; “If your going to be clumsy you gotta be quick!”

Moonlight Fairytale
Many blessings to Terra and Darren, I love you both!

Kyle and Denai: Tucson Wedding

Kyle and Denai got married at Christ Church United Methodist here in Tucson; and it made for a beautiful wedding. You don’t see too many organs like the one here any more (or stained glass). The lighting was typical for a big church, but thankfully I was able to set up a wireless flash and get some beautiful lighting.


Denai’s father shared a little about Denai and Kyle, and gave his blessing over the marriage.

Many Blessings to Kyle and Denai

Ashlie and Evan Schoel: A Rocky Mountain Wedding

When it comes to great summer wedding destinations, you couldn’t ask for much better than this. Perhaps I am biased being a Colorado boy, but I love the mountains. I have done several shoots for Ashlie and Evan and was thrilled to photograph their wedding; they are always a joy to work with.

The beautiful bride






Ashlie’s brother helped put together a surprise slideshow of the couple, from childhoods to times they had spent together.

This is a genuine Ashlie look, as well as an inside joke.

First Dance; it’s a good thing I’m not the groom because I don’t remember what the song was.


The field across the street provided the perfect mountain backdrop

Blessings to Mr. and Mrs. Schoel, congratulations!

Adam and Erica – A Wedding to Remember

This past Sunday I made the trip up to Flagstaff to shoot Adam and Erica’s big day with fellow photographer Michael Chansley. The ceremony was outside, and although they were hoping for a little snow, we were fortunate that it wasn’t too cold and didn’t rain. This might be the first wedding I have been to where everything was on time; it worked out perfectly for them!






God Bless,
Robert
