Shawn and Jennifer – what an amazing couple

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 04:40:53 +0000

I met Shawn and Jennifer only 3 short months ago. They were on the ultimate search for the perfect wedding photographer. I was thrilled when they chose One Fine Day Photography. These were my kind of peeps. They described this amazing church called the Trinity Cathedral which is located in the heart of downtown Phoenix. I hadn’t been there before and decided to go check it out a few months before the big day. They agreed to meet me there. As I got to know them better, I found that this couple was among the purest, kindest most genuine type of people you’d ever want to know. And at their wedding, that was confirmed even more so when I watched them together. They were more into their marriage than the wedding itself. This – I know – is a union that will last forever. And, the bonus is, I made some new amazing friends! Congratulations Jennifer and Shawn!

What an amazing couple! We met Becky and Robert only a few months ago when their wedding got moved from the East Coast to sunny Arizona. And Troon North Golf Club made the perfect setting for this great couple. When wedding photographers Anne McCarthy and Jim Baker arrived on the property, they wondered about possible rain, but our beautiful bride didn’t seem the least bit worried. She even walked through the rain in her flowing, beautiful gown. And towards sunset, the sky turned into the most amazing array of light beams and colors! Congratulations Becky and Robert! And here are some of the great wedding professionals that made it all a success

Flowers: Flowers by Jodi
Venue: Troon North Golf Club, Mollie Beale

Elena & Jonathan’s beautiful Spring wedding

admin — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 18:13:16 +0000

When the mother of the groom is a florist, you can bet there are going to be some amazing flowers at the wedding. Thanks for Rosebrush Floral Studios, that was the case for Elena and Jonathan’s beautiful wedding. The most touching thing about this intimate Spring wedding was the relationship between our bride Elena and her grandmother who had flown in from Russia. Not knowing a word of English, her translater followed her around and explained every detail of the day. Even more touching, was when grandmother walked Elena down the aisle. The groom was waiting with the biggest smile ever! Congratulations Elena and Jonathan!

Jill & David get married at the Phoenix Zoo!

admin — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:28:13 +0000

What a creative place to hold your wedding!! Especially if you are a veterinarian like our amazing bride, Jill. As animal lovers, Jill and David wanted to offer their wedding guests an opportunity to tour the zoo and see some of the great animals featured at the park. In fact, some of the zoo’s staff even brought animals to the reception site so that the wedding guests could see some birds and amphibians up close! Wedding photographers Doug Williams and Anne McCarthy tried to get a little too close to get some “macro” photos of an amazing 10 foot snake! What a blast that day was! Congratulations Jill and David!!

My mission to Haiti

admin — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 23:49:24 +0000

This winter I had the privilege of going on a mission to Haiti with a wonderful relief organization called Food for the Poor. It was a trip that changed my life forever. What I saw was devastating. 90% poverty, families living in deplorable conditions, homeless children wandering the streets. A massive undertaking to rebuild Haiti has been underway since the January 2010 earthquake, but it seemed little progress has been made. Red Cross tents are everywhere. Unicef is there. And the relief organization I went with has a headquarters and feeding center that serves meals round the clock. It was happy to be able to get on the front lines and help where I could. We also helped build houses, distributed clothing, visited a school funded by Food for the Poor. The organization even provided us with a security detail, so we felt pretty safe. Most of these pictures were taken with my Iphone, as I didn’t bring my professional camera gear. I was so moved by the Haitian people, and what I experienced, I will be going back again in December on my second mission. It made me realize how truly blessed I am to have a roof over my head, clothes on my back and a comfortable bed to sleep in every night.
