I told you there would be more photos! How could there not with such a beautiful bride and groom, stunning settings and two days worth of photography?! Enjoy!

Here are just a few from Maheen & Mohammed’s wedding. These are just my early picks, but there will be many more photos to come!

It was the perfect day in the Hualapai Mountains for a wedding. It was also a MUCH needed break for the heat. Congratulations Chris and Alyssa, it was beautiful!

A couple of months ago Linny, Sojourner & Walter made their way through Parker. We invited them to dinner and decided on an impromptu photo shoot of Linny and Soj. You can view my blog post and more photos here -

More photos here

Needless to say the photo shoot was AMAZING! I ended up capturing some of my favorite images to date. Arabian Horse World magazine appreciated them as well and decided to publish a few of them in a couple of upcoming issues. The June issue can be received by subscription only, but you will be able to find a bigger and better article in their Special Edition Magazine in July. You can find these at any Barnes & Noble. Have a look at a preview of the magazine here -

I am SO excited. Thank you to Linny, Soj & Walter for letting me get a glimpse into your amazing journey.

Great Western Tube Float: Parker, AZ

John — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 08:27:24 +0000

Thousands of tubers float down the crystal clear Colorado River in Parker, AZ every year for this event, part of Parker’s busy summer season on the water. This year, a couple who met at last year’s float were married at the beginning of this year’s event before floating down the river themselves! We headed out in the boat to capture some of the action.

Jenifer & Tommy

A beautiful wedding at the Avi just outside of Laughlin, NV. I wish every couple could be as sweet as Tommy and Jenifer. I hope to work with them in the future… possibly a trash the dress session?

*Fingers crossed*

Kristy & Ernie

It’s wedding season! I’ve got quite a few in the works, and each of them wonderfully different. Kristy & Ernie got married at a country farmhouse, in a garden shaded by cottonwood trees… just beautiful. Here’s a tiny selection.

Alyssa & Chris

An afternoon at the park a few weeks ahead of their wedding. It’s some moments of quiet before the party!

Linny’s ride

One girl and her horse. We photographed Linny Kenney a few weeks into the trip she’s currently taking, riding her white Arabian horse Sojourner across America — that’s right, all the way from California to New Hampshire — and loved our time with her.

Look out for some of these images, along with the story of Linny’s ride, on a shelf at a Barnes & Noble near you later this year (watch this space for more information). She’s a beautiful soul and you’ll love the read. Meantime, see her site here.
