Andrew & Andrea {junkyard} | Phoenix Engagement and Wedding Photography | Part 2

{scroll down, or click here for Part 1}

I got the sweetest email from Andrea after the last post, saying that I made her cry at work.  I told her not to worry; there was a dang good chance I’d make it up to her by crying at her wedding.

Honestly, I probably will.  Yes, I’m the worse kind of cliche – the wedding photographer who will cry at your wedding.

Sometimes I get misty during the first look, other times I’m overcome by the emotion behind the vows.  If you, your mother or your cousin Eileen happen to cry – at any point and for any reason – I’m almost certainly a goner.   There is almost no chance I’ll make it through the father-daughter dance dry eyed (I admit it; I have a soft spot for Butterfly Kisses).   Seriously, I’m a huge sap and I’m not afraid to admit it.  However,  I have persevered and I can now shoot straight through a veil of tears (patting myself on the back for this one – it’s not easy).

Andrea and Andrew – I hereby promise not to turn into a blubbering mess on your big day.  I’ll keep it together.  But when a couple loves each other with emotion this sweet and true – it’s awfully hard not to feel it too.

We headed to my favorite junkyard to find some urban texture.  There’s nothing like rusted metal to get my muse inspired.

Eegads, isn’t this building amazing?  Every time I go to this place I find something new.

This one has a total silver screen, movie star look to me…the next Bogie and Bacall…

Andrew went back to the car to change, so I took the opportunity to snap these pics of the lovely Andrea.  Honestly folks, next to no editing on these  – her skin really is that perfect!

We even found some bales of hay – and Andrea had the perfect shirt to get a little country!

The way every good fairy tale photoshoot ends – they walk off into the sunset together….

Okay, you see now why these two deserved two whole blog posts?!

FYI:  A2 are getting married at the amazing North Scottsdale wedding venue Sassi.  I got to check it out with the couple a few weeks back when they went for their tasting appointment, and it is going to be truly stunning.  So many possibilities for amazing photographs – I get giddy just thinking about it!  If you are looking for a great wedding venue in Phoenix, you should definitely add Sassi to your list.

    EEGADS is RIGHT!
    I love them too! and I didn’t even spend any time with them outside of your blogs. Oh my stars.

    Great job. I love your work. You can always tell when you truly enjoy a session (rarely don’t you from the looks of things…) and I don’t blame you for loving this location. BEST EVER. :)

    From one cliche wedding photographer to another….

    Jeannette- what GORGEOUS work you have here- some of my favorites of yours yet. So modern and urban, and yet so timelessy clean and well processed. When I look at other photographers urban work, I don’t see that all of the time – but of course you pull it off with the utmost class and perfection. Stunning!

    Hello! I am a photographer that lives about 3 hours southeast of you. My little sister is getting married in a few months, and she lives up in the Mesa area, and wants me to take her pictures. On doing a google search for great locations to take pictures in Phoenix, your site popped up. I have to say, I LOVE your work! Amazing! I am just in love with this couple too, gorgeous! I love doing rustic shoots, and I think this would be a perfect spot to do some of my sister’s bride and groom pictures. I know some photographers don’t want to share their information, but I thought since I am not in your direct market (and probably won’t be doing more shoots up in the Phoenix area), you might make an exception for me? :o ) PLEASE?! I would LOVE to know where you shot these photos. Any help you can give me would be SOOO appreciated! Thanks so much in advance!
