50 years and still getting better

Okay this is by far the most personal entries I've shared on here to date. As part of their celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary my mom & dad renewed their wedding vows last Thursday evening at their home. I have to say it was one of the most inspiring moments I've ever witnessed. Not many people ... couples ... marriages get to this milestone and I have to say it was so moving. I'm so proud of them!! If you ask them if their love is still as strong now as the day they got married, they would say no ... it's far stronger and much more meaningful now.

Mom & Dad I love and respect you more than you will ever know!

If you've never failed

A fellow photographer friend of mine named David Jay posted this on his blog the other day and I felt compelled to share this. Pretty interesting.

Ali & Troy in Cave Creek

Last weekend was really special for me. My two dear friends Ali & Troy finally tied the knot and I was privileged enough to document their awesome day. To me, Ali & Troy are one of those couples that are just meant to be together. They're so friendly and loving that they totally deserve each other.

Last Saturday was also amazing because usually the temp's in and around Phoenix are about 105 or so this time of year, however, their day didn't get past about 82 degrees. It had even rained the day before so everything was so green and clean. I just love that "new day" smell!! It was perfect!
