Last weekend I packed up the family and headed down to Tucson to photograph Courtney and Rich’s wedding.  Tucson is such a great city.  It just feels so authentic and not so ‘city’ like Phoenix.  Courtney picked the cutest chapel to get married in.  The San Pedro Chapel is a newly restored quaint mission style chapel in the heart of Tucson.  Let’s just say it inspired me.  Every nook and cranny of the place was beautifully rustic.  I had so much fun shooting there! 

One thing was apparent to me as the day went on, Courtney and Rich are truly meant to be with one another. And everyone at the wedding will attest to that.

The reception was at Courtney’s parents house.

I have never heard so many heartfelt and beautiful speeches as I did at their wedding.

Courtney loves gelato, so why not have it at the reception?

Yesterday I had lunch with the cutest girl ever, Jamie Delaine and blogger extraordinaire, Melissa Jill.  I met Jamie for the first time at Chevy’s just over a year ago when her family was vacationing in town. My how things have changed for her in one year!  She now has over 400 visitors to her blog a day, and super sweet images to boot!!  It was fun catching up and talking shop.

Things I learned from our conversation:
1. Jamie does not know what a taco is?!!
2. Melissa can’t eat cheese.
3. According to the girls, I HAVE to get a 50mm 1.2 lens.
4. Jasmine Star is really as cool as you think she is.
5. Twittering is the cool thing to do.  Naturally I had to get an account.  Follow me! @jenschleicher

To see how much we aged in a year, here is a picture from last year when we met (courtesy of Jamie Delaine):  Me, Melissa, Rachel Priddy, and Jamie.

And yesterday (We missed you Rachel!):

I was introduced to the Kalinas by a current bride of mine….they are her fiance’s brother and family.  The Kalinas met up with me one afternoon at Freestone Park with their 3 month old son, August. Aren’t they the cutest family?

I absolutely had to take some pictures of just mom and dad :)

More of the three of them. The one on the right is my favorite.

I am so excited to announce that Jen & Matt’s wedding was featured in the October 2008 issue of the Wedding Chronicle!  They had a beautiful wedding at the Wright House in Mesa, AZ.  You can find The Wedding Chronicle at many businesses across the valley including Macy’s, Borders, AJ’s, and Whole Foods.
