T + L | Wasdworth wedding

The marriage of T and L is an extraordinary love story: a serendipitous bridal party pairing at a mutual friend's wedding 10 years before, the separate life journeys, struggles, and triumphs of two incredible people, finding each other again through another "coincidental" connection, and discovering a truer and deeper love than either ever could have imagined. But the first thing these two will tell you is that no chance or coincidence brought them together. Their undeniable faith in the plan the Lord had in store for each of them is truly inspiring.

The W Family | Arizona Winter Photography Session

Preparation pays off! When these stunning ladies hopped out of their SUV, I knew we would have a golden session. See for yourself. Apparently, mom started early that day making sure everyone got a shower :), hair was done, outfits complete, and even painted everyone's nails the same awesome purple color. For me, yah, that makes my job a little easier and a lot more fun, but it also pays off for the family experience. Some of the preparation done for your session is outward aesthetics, but thinking about these girls in and out of the bathroom, hair in curlers, wet nails-- all spending time together with a doting mom helping them look their best, these girls were ready, inside and out, to capture the love and care they share as a family. The best part for me was watching the impromptu leaf throwing at the end of the session. For all the care and attention paid to making everything perfect, the importance of that all fades away when they were just having fun. One thing I hope these girls never forget is how much their mama loves them!
