Karla & Lucio’s Engagement Session at the Desert Botanical Gardens

admin — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 23:21:41 +0000

Though it was quite hot when we met up in the evening, Karla & Lucio braved the heat gracefully. I had a wonderful time wandering through the Desert Botanical Gardens and photographing them in different locations and in different outfits. Karla even changed her jewelry and hair for the outfit changes!

They both look quite stunning. I’m looking forward to their wedding in just a few weeks!

Vicky & Chris’s Wedding

From the moment I met Vicky & Chris, I knew they were going to be a lot of fun to work with. Chris was cracking jokes while Vicky was trying to get him to be serious and focus on the task at hand. He did so for a few moments and then was back to being silly.

We had a lot of fun at both their engagement session and wedding day. Here are the wedding day highlights:

On Saturday, August 14th I’ll be at Thee Wedding Warehouse from 11am-1pm showcasing a selection of my wedding albums, parent albums and many other products.

Brianna & Wyck’s Engagement Session at Dreamy Draw in Phoenix, AZ

admin — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 05:19:46 +0000

When Brianna and Wyck wanted to do their engagement session a few weeks ago, I tried to find the right way to break it to them that the best time would be 6am. Most of the time it takes a lot of convincing to get my brides and groom’s to get up and meet me shortly after sunrise.

This was not the case with Brianna and Wyck. Both were more than happy to get up early and I’m so glad we did. We got some amazing shots. At the last minute, they decided to bring along their wonderful dog Moose. I’m sure glad they did. Though he was a bit challenging at times as he was quite the explorer and Wyck had to run after him, it was a joy to meet him and photograph the three of them together.

Brianna & Wyck, thanks again for a fun morning! I can’t wait to photograph your wedding in March at the Wigwam!

Summer School for Brides

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:30:18 +0000

This Saturday, July 17th, I’m excited to speak about a topic very dear to me: Wedding Photography from a Recent Bride’s Point of View.

As you may know, last month I got married in Hawaii. Being a bride at a wedding, as opposed to the photographer, gave me a whole new insight that I’m looking forward to sharing with future brides.

My speech will take place at 12:30pm at Thee Wedding Warehouse in Goodyear, AZ.

Sarah & Jay’s Wedding at Four Seasons Troon in Scottsdale, AZ

admin — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 18:17:29 +0000

I’m back from my Wedding/Honeymoon…and am officially married! I haven’t been happier in a long time. Thanks so much to all of you for being so patient with me as I was away from my office and had limited access to my email. I really appreciate it! I’m looking forward to talking with all of you soon!

And now, a very long overdue post. I’m excited to finally have the chance to post photos from Sarah and Jay’s wedding at the Four Seasons Troon resort in Scottsdale.

I was very honored when Sarah asked me to photograph her wedding. She’s a hairdresser at Sachi salon in Scottsdale and right from the first time I met her we instantly connected. The funniest thing was that I actually found her by using Yelp. She had so many wonderful reviews I just had to try her! I’m so glad I did. Not only is she a great hairstylist, she is such a warm and genuine person.

Here are my favorites from her beautiful wedding…

Sarah was kind enough to leave give me this rave review:

“Christine at Kiss the Camera was an amazing wedding photographer!! All the way through, she was extremely professional, friendly, on-top of things. The actual day of the wedding she was amazing, she was so pleasant to work with, my whole family mentioned how great she was, and so did my friends! She organized everyone very well and worked quickly (I had a lot of kids in the wedding), and remained very patient and upbeat. She stayed in the background during the dinner and dance reception, capturing SO many great, candid moments. I think that capturing those great candid moments is the true art of photography and I was extremely pleased! We have so many great pictures from the evening, it is really hard to choose which ones to put in the album. I will definitely recommend her; don’t look anywhere else!”

I’m on my Honeymoon!

Hello Everyone!

This is just a quick note to let you know that I’m currently out of the country on my Honeymoon until July 6th.

I will not have access to my voicemail, but I will still periodically check email and form submissions.

Looking forward to talking with you when I return!

Love,

Christine

Michelle & Eric’s Wedding at McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale

admin — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 21:28:17 +0000

From the moment I met Michelle and her family, I knew I was going to be a part of a spectacular wedding. Her mother and sisters were a joy to be around and I started looking forward to her wedding after our initial client meeting.

On her wedding day, I arrived at McCormick Ranch just minutes before her arrival. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and I enjoyed every minute of it, documenting Michelle and Eric’s first day as husband and wife.

Here are some of my favorite images.

The first look. Eric was blown away by her beauty.

Michelle surprised Eric with fireworks. It was fantastic!

Michelle & Eric, thanks for making me a part of your wedding day! It was a joy and an honor capturing so many wonderful moments for you! Also, a special thank you to Kelvin from Kelvin Photography for second shooting with me.
