Kim & Sammie | Arizona Wedding Photographer

I met Kim while I was teaching at a Phoenix area high school. Kim was a substitute teacher and had covered my class one day. The following day she checked in with me to let me know how things had gone with my classes. The next fall Kim was placed as a permanent sub for my classes when I left teaching. We had been in contact several times over the phone to discuss school related items. During one of our conversations she mentioned that another teacher at the school had mentioned that I was into photography. Kim then asked me if I would cover her wedding. I let her know that this would be my first wedding but I would love to do it.

Kim and Sammie chose a beautiful spring day to get married. The ceremony took place at a church in downtown Phoenix. Kim was radiant as she stepped out of the limousine and even more so when she walked down the isle, escorted by her son. I will never forget the look on Sammie's face when Kim walked into the chapel. It was as if he was looking at an angel...his angel.

As I mentioned, Kim's son walked her down the isle. Not only was this his mother's special day, but it was also his Junior Prom. After the ceremony he was on his way to pick up his date for his special night. They made a special appearance at the reception later that evening, where they were greeted with flashing cameras and smiles.

One of my favorite images from the day is one of Sammie and Kim playing the piano together. The scene started out with Sammie playing while Kim stood near by. Watching the two at the piano was awe-inspiring and I snapped away at what unfolded before me. Soon Kim was on the bench playing right along side of Sammie. I felt it was fitting that they were playing a piano duet on the evening that they to became a duet. With that I present Kim and Sammie...
