Lindsay & Nathaniel’s Engagement
Azy met Lindsay and Nathaniel at the Scottsdale Civic Center, Monday, August 23rd, to shoot engagement photos for their October 10th wedding. Using the center’s modernistic art as a backdrop, Azy took a variety of shots, including the LOVE monument, for their pre-wedding preparations. They were so easy and fun to work with and had excellent shot suggestions of their own.
Nooshin & Rahman at Fiesta Lakes Golf Club
Prior to their wedding Nooshin and Bahman and their wedding party gathered at the beautiful Fiesta Lakes Golf Club in Mesa, Arizona. The delicate bride, dressed in a beautiful flowing wedding gown, and the handsome groom were photographed in the lush surroundings of the golf club along with groom’s brother and friends.
Day Three – The Wedding Reception
The final day of Amber and Junaid’s three day weekend marriage festivities was the Reception at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort. The bride, dressed in yet another beautiful sari, and the handsome groom were photographed in both a desert setting and on the opulent grounds of the resort. Wedding party introductions were followed by speeches, dinner and dancing in a magnificently decorated ballroom.
Day Two – The Wedding
Day Two of Amber and Junaid’s three day weekend marriage festivities was the Wedding at the Castle at Ashley Manor. The bride and groom were wedded in a typical Moslem ceremony and dressed in their most colorful finery. Traditionally, the groom had to pay his way into the festivity and later had to pay to reclaim his shoes. He did so without hesitation to wed such a beautiful bride.
Day One – The Mehndi Celebration
Day One of Amber and Junaid’s three day weekend marriage festivities was the Mehndi celebration. Colorful saris were in abundance and beating drums preceded their entrance as the bride and groom were treated to choreographed dancing by friends and relatives and fed sweets and given money to bless their future together.
Choosing a Wedding Photographer
How important is choosing a photographer for your wedding? Simply put, your wedding photographs are the single most lasting element of that special day. Where your wedding took place, the bridal gown, bridesmaid’s dresses, the groom and groomsmen’s tuxedos, your wedding cake and all the decorations and activities surrounding your wedding and reception are captured in detail, along with the emotions of the moment, by your photographer. Isn’t it of paramount importance then, that the photographer you select be in tune with all aspects of your wedding day?
Spend time talking with potential photographers and select one who you are comfortable with, one who will not only work within your budget and provide the kind of photographic style you desire, but with whom you can make a personal connection. After all, your photographer will spend more time with you on your wedding day than any other vendor. Select a photographer who is businesslike but personable and easy to work with and who has an attitude that reflects a relaxed, yet professional shooting style. You can avoid post wedding disappointment with your photographs by spending the extra time to choose a photographer you are comfortable with and can trust, one who will provide your type of photography and with whom you can develop a special bond so your wedding day photographs will reflect that special day just as your remember it.

Jessica and Nate’s beautiful wedding took place Saturday, April 10th, 2010 at the Hilton Scottsdale Resort, Scottsdale, Arizona.
A gorgeous bride and handsome groom, with wonderful families, made this event especially memorable. Everything went as planned. The Hilton staff was courteous and helpful throughout both the ceremony and the reception. The outside ceremony site was set up beautifully and the reception hall was decorated tastefully with candles and romantic lights. Rattle and Roll Entertainment was the DJ, very energetic and fun. I recommend the site to anyone.
