Okay, just loving all this sunshine in this wedding. We know that some of the top sunshine states fall within our regions and Arizona is certainly one of them. This venue seems like it was made for weddings. The Phoenician Resort, has an onsite wedding planner, many different venues, honeymoon packages plus more. We will certainly be checking them out this spring on our trip to Arizona. Thanks to the talents at Foskett Creative Photography for sharing this gorgeous wedding with us. Much inspiration!

Ash and Melissa, from Calgary, called upon their friend at December Photography to meet them in Kelowna at the Manteo Resort in BC for this gorgeous wedding. In doing a little more digging, we discovered we need to visit this area... and soon. Manteo Resort is minutes from championship golf and award-winning estate wineries and only an hour from powder skiing at Big White and Silver Star, Manteo Resort Waterfront Hotel and Villas is the premier Okanagan Lake resort destination. Need we say more? 

Now we know why December Photography was so excited to travel home to Kelowna... Wowwa for sure!

We love the staged group images and think it is always important to have fun with those group shots... they become more memorable!

As RMB plans their next year's photo shoots, BC is on the list of places to stop. In doing all this research, I have found so many wonderful places that are both on and off the regular path. We continue to share some of the best venues, so enjoy this rustic summer gem photographed by Element Photography.

Mitch and Michelle selected Arosa Guest Ranch to host their wedding celebration. Fritz estates(the former property of his grandfather - lovingly remembered as Bumpa) surrounds the ranch area. We took advantage of Bumpa's property for Mitch and Michelles first look! Photos wrapped up just as rain drops started to sprinkle. Just a tease though, as the sky cleared up for a bright and beautiful outdoor ceremony. But mother nature can be crazy and wasn't quiet finished with us just yet! everyone was tucked away in teh white tent surrounded by gorgeous details. Tables were full with plates of delicious warm food as the sky opened up and the rain showers came down. Propane heaters were lit, guest changed out of summery dresses and into their tights, woolies, camo and plaid. We cuddled up under blankets and listened to the stories of Mitch and Michelle shared by wedding party and parents. They were roasted and toasted and laughter filled the tent! It was just before the speeches began the sky cleared momentarily and a bright beam of sunlight pierced through the clouds. ah! a perfect double rainbow arched over the valley for all to see. A sign of a promise for the newlyweds! M + M ran out into the sunlight and shared a little dance, and a little love as the cameras fired away!

In the wane of Valentine's Day, we know so many of you are newly engaged. We just wanted to share with you one of our favorite venues and to also remind you how important it really is to secure that location as soon as you can. Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge, is a beautiful venue, and because of this, typically sells out season after season. The staff there are amazing and for the lucky couples who get to tie the knot up there, you can actually see my house from across the valley. Cool, huh? My favorite has to be the cake, but I LOVE cake.

Anyhow, Kara Pearson Photography and a great group of Summit County Vendors captured this gorgeous wedding up at Ten Mile Station this past summer. Enjoy!

With so many engagements over Valentine's Day, we only thought it appropriate to feature an engagement session today. These sessions are super important, not only do you get to practice being in front of the camera together, but you also get to test out a photographer while you are at it. Some photographers include the engagement session with their packages, others use it also as time to see if you as a couple are a right fit for them. Congratulations on your engagement!
