A Teaser and some News

It's about that time again, time to hit the road and meet with my spectacular Arizona Brides. I was just packing up my car and thought I would pop in on the ol' blog here and let you all know what's going on with Marianne Wilson Photography.

I am so excited to say that my new blog is in the works and is going to be spectacular. I have the awesome designers of H2 blog design working on it now and it should really capture what Marianne Wilson Photography is about. So keep and look out for the launch of that in the next few weeks (at a brand new URL too!) along with a gorgeous boudoir and wedding post to kick it off! Also you may have noticed my portfolio site (Http://www.MarianneWilsonPhotography.com) going through some changes as well. I am sprucing it up a bit and adding some new features and design. I am also working on a new price list design and information booklet for new Marianne Wilson Photography brides. Because who doesn't love some great information in a chic booklet?

In more personal news Joe and I recently got a puppy and her name is Penny. We think she is about 4 months old and rescued her from a shelter 2 weeks ago. We just love her to bits! She is adorable and as sweet as can be. We think she might be a Jindo but since she is a rescue we don't quite know. All we know is that she is awesome and I love having her sweet little self around while I edit and write e-mails. Here are some photos I snapped of her right after we brought her home (don't mind her sad face, she had a respiratory infection and giardia that is all cleared up now!).

Meet Penny:





I am sure you will see lots of her as she grows up!

And since we all love a good wedding teaser here is a photo from Christy and Saul's wedding.

Wedding: Michael + Desiree At Hartley Botanica

Desiree and Michael were one of the first clients to book me over a year in advance. How time flies! Almost all the bookings I do now are 10-16 months in advance! Their wedding marked a stepping stone in my business. I was so honored that they shared their very special wedding day with me. I was also excited to shoot at Hartley Botanica in Somis, CA. I have 2nd shot there a few times and absolutely love the location, very fairytale like.

Back to Desiree and Mike! They got married August 16th at Hartley and if I could describe their wedding in one word it would be joyous. Now, all weddings are joyous but Des and Mike's was filled to the brim with joy. Dancing, blessings, tradition, and smiles were all around. It was also a very educational experience and I was glad that they were so eager and willing to share and explain their traditions with me. I also absolutely loved the colors a sun shiny yellow and gorgeous purple with hints of green and pink worked perfectly with Hartley's plush greenery.

Here are just a few of my favorites from Desiree and Mike's beautiful wedding.

This next image I just love and it was captured by the very talented Amanda Rae who was second shooting with me.

Wedding Teaser: Michael + Desiree

Know what is exciting? I wedding teaser!

What is more exciting? Knowing that teaser will turn into a post later this evening!

Just a taste from Desiree and Mike's Somis wedding at Hartley Botanica.

Engagement: Jessica + Adam (The Ballerina and The Nurse)

Just over two weeks ago I received an inquiry from the contact form on my site. The e-mails go directly to my phone so I always run over to a computer as fast as I can. Yes, I still get that excited.

From the moment I read Jessica's response to the "Where did you find me?" Question I knew she was my type of bride. Aside from being full of smiley faces and exclamations(two things I probably use too frequently in e-mails) she stated that she found me through a "Serendipitous Google search." I thought "I like this gal already!"

I noticed she was in Arizona, Tucson to be exact. I immediately ran to my calendar (which isn't hard cause it's on my computer) and figured out the next time I would be making the jaunt to the good ol' AZ. In a week! Perfect! I let Jessica know that I was going to be able to meet and we decided to start with her and Adams engagement session since Adam is leaving for grad school in just a few short weeks. Everything just seemed to work out so perfectly.

We met up last Saturday in downtown Tucson and ventured out for their e-session. It was a hot day (107 ouch!) but we survived, had a blast, and got some rad photos doing it. I simply cannot wait for their wedding next August at the Hotel Congress in downtown Tucson.

Without further adieu
