Arizona Travel Photography by Chris

This past weekend, Brisa and I headed to visit our friends in Phoenix, AZ for a business trip and a mini-vacation. Our awesome friends, Jenna and Travis, took us to some absolutely beautiful locations; Sedona and Prescott and we had a wonderful time. We are seriously considering moving out to this area once Brisa has finished her residency and I am pumped about that potential opportunity!

Here are a few images from what I saw during my trip. Enjoy!

Laura & Jordan | Wedding Slideshow!

Happy Friday everyone! I am headed to Sedona, AZ for some photography today and I just wanted to share with you a quick (1:40) slideshow from last week’s incredible wedding that b and I photographed! During the ceremony, the bride’s sister sang while the bride’s brother played the guitar and it was absolutely beautiful. So I took out my phone and started recording them and added it to their wedding teasers. Super fun, right? (Yes, I was super excited about this). Later on, I will definitely share a full post from their incredible wedding, but here is a sneak peak! Have a wonderful weekend everyone! =)
