Lillian Lottie Couture had their grand opening tonight! When I drove up; I was seriously shocked at how much the place had changed in the last month since I had visited Jenny Pinto and Meghan Lawlor in their store. It was fancy before but now it was just cutting edge glamor and was fantastic! From the cupcakes, to the “candy table”, the fantastic food that was served, the magicians, and the Foto Cabina booth that was present really made the night a fantastic grand opening. Far grander than I was honestly expecting.

For all of your bridal needs:

Heather, who runs Eventfully Yours, Heather was the fabulous event coordinator and totally made sure things went smoothly. Very nice and very laid back/friendly.

Floral arrangements were provided by Terrace Floral Design Group in Scottsdale.

Brian with Ambiance Catering not only provided great food, he was very friendly and very delightful to work with!

Richard Steele was a great magician and was very entertaining for all the guests. Totally recommended for a fun way to spice up an event!

Some great wine/champagne was provided by Barefoot Wines! I, myself, had the Pinot Grigio and it was fantastic!

Something that EVERYONE seemed to love was the photo booth; provided by Foto Cabina! It was used almost 100% of the time! A great way to get instant gratification and provide added fun for guests!

Espresso Subito provided the espresso catering service, I enjoyed a lovely Caramel Macchiato(though someone cleaned it up while I was pulled to photograph some people.. I really wanted to finish! Argh!)

Last but not least: Let Them Eat Cake, Inc provided the delicious cupcakes!

To conclude: I’d like to wish Meghan and Jenny great luck with their bridal store! I very much appreciate them inviting me out to photograph, have a cupcake and use the photobooth 3 times in a row! They’re badass! :) Until next time.. this is Chaz signing off…

Here are a few random shots of a couple I took recently; Tony and Brit

We went out to an area near Luke Air force base and just “went with it.”

Fred is a friend of mine from the local music scene, he is in the band Ikonoklast. So it was awesome when Fred and his now wife Rosey asked me to photograph their wedding! I’ve never known so many people in a wedding before! It was truly fun and infact, the fun didn’t really end until 3am!

So here are some of the best shots from that great day:

One of my first wedding clients ever contacted me recently about doing a “one year anniversary” photo-shoot – where she could wear the dress that she didn’t get to wear at her wedding and get some more jazzy shots for her parents. We ended up getting kind of silly but it was very fun!

Starting out with the most eye capturing kiss I’ve ever photographed ever:

We all shared in some Dom Perignon to celebrate the occasion:

This previous Saturday, Sept 20th, was the day of a great wedding of Erin & Tony. It was a great drive up to Sedona and it is a beautiful city!

We arrived and headed over to meet Erin & Tony! Erin is a very energetic (and goofy) bride that was a great bride to have! Tony was very obviously a good match for her as he was very energetic (and goofy) as well! Both the ceremony and the reception took place at a wonderful location called “Tlaquepaque” www.tlaq.com! Very unique architecture and a place I’d love to have another chance to photograph a wedding in, again!

On May 10th; Sheila and Ron Reddic were married. This was the first time I’ve ever photographed a ceremony inside a church; it was different to be sure. It was also a very fast day; by the time we arrived at the reception, it was already sunset and the formals were rather rushed. It was a beautiful and great time. I cannot wait for the next wedding I get to be a part of; no lie, no lie!

And of course; Read the rest of this article »
