Matt + Britteny Are Our Friends | Phoenix, Arizona

I've really been wanting to start a small ongoing set of photos of our friends.
Matt and Britteny were so willing to let me photograph them a couple of months ago - I love their style, we love them as a couple! They're so creative (Britteny's artwork is amazing, I'm proud to say we own an original that I instagrammed about a few days ago! Her website is here - she's incredible.) They're two of our favorite people to hang out with and grab some late night comfort food at 5 & Diner with. ;)

Doug + Sarah's Backyard Wedding | Gilbert, Arizona

What would you get if you rolled a sweet backyard wedding, taxidermy with bridal portraits, and a DeLorean as a getaway car all rolled into one? Well my friends, you're about to see.

I first got to meet Sarah, her mom, and her bridesmaid Jana at the Bridal show we did back in June, so I have to say they were our first official couple that we booked in Phoenix! Aw. :) Doug + Sarah have the funniest sense of humor, so I had to include a few silly shots here and there, because it'd be kind of rude of me to hide their personalities when there's so much of it.

And just a side note, at our first meeting with the two of them, Doug admitted he hates being photographed and hates ever having his picture taken. Any of you guys out there relate? Any of you brides kind of nervous because your grooms avoid the camera like the black death? This is how that situation usually turns out - there's nothing to fear. Doug and Sarah BOTH were so amazing in front of the camera, we actually had a really fun time! So grooms of the world - don't fear the camera. I've never met a groom who loved being photographed. :)

Instead of cutting a cake, Doug + Sarah chose to make floats! Such a great idea!
