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 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 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.

Shivani’s sixteenth birthday party on Saturday, June 26^th was no ordinary birthday bash.  The Aviano Club House in North Phoenix hosted a lively and beautifully decorated party.  Exquisite Indian sari’s dazzled the eyes and the lucky girl was entertained by choreographed dancing by relatives and friends and Deejay music that had the young crowd dancing until the late hours.

Anxiously awaited, one week old Jonas has already captured everyone’s heart.  Not yet sure of the world around him, nourishment and sleep are punctuated by occasional forays into awareness.  Soon enough his world will expand in all directions as he begins his life’s journey.

It’s such a joy when our Bridal Families visit to photograph the arrival of little ones and revisit to capture periods of growth.  18 month old Alexandria and 5 year old Victoria recently returned to the Phoenix Zoo with their parents to chronicle their family’s growth.

Beautiful Newborn Twins

The joy of life is doubled with the birth of newborn twins.  Learning as they go, these new parents are cautiously eager to explore the whole new world of parenthood as it unfolds before them.

The Hilton Scottsdale Resort hosted the 7^th annual HIP Fundraiser, Tuesday, June 15^th Poolside gaming, a silent auction, fabulous prize giveaways and a visit by Elvis made for a lively event beautifully catered by Hilton’s professional staff.  Proceeds benefited the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
