RACHAEL EARL » PHOTOGRAPHY: Lifestyle Portraiture and Wedding Photography

Orinda and Lane are nothing short of awesome-I have nothing but nice things to say about the two of them and their inside jokes and amazing scrunched up nose laughs and her awesome LIME GREEN Converse (!) They were married at the Mesa Arizona Temple, which is my favorite place to shoot. Here are a few from their day:

YES!!!!! A girl after my own heart:

I said come at me however you want…they chose a race…Lane won by a foot…or maybe a leg.

They are both SUPER tall…this was illustrative of how short I felt

I would guess Rindy did hurdles at some point in her life???

LOVE:

We actually went back to the Temple because the Temple Christmas lights were up and we wanted to catch a few extra shots to show the festive season:

And of course the GORGEOUS sunset…but I think they were too preoccupied looking at each other to see it

Congratulations, you guys! It was an absolute pleasure capturing your wedding day!

From last night’s wedding.  Tracy’s father as he is seeing her in her dress for the first time.

Ryan and Becky were married yesterday at the Mesa Arizona Temple on the hottest day ever in the history of Arizona (according to us). Here are a few shots from their day, and entertainment for them as they sit and wait at the airport

Thankfully, Ryan was not injured after this jump, which would have probably ruined his honeymoon.

Becky, you were stunning!

Ryan, you were…sleepy.

This ring shot pretty much sums up our day…

And a creative use of the ice packs:

It’s not every day you get to meet (or photograph) an Apostle and his incredibly sweet wife!

Thanks, guys!

Fact: Arizona is hotter than the surface of the sun. Okay…maybe that isn’t QUITE a fact…

A few quick ones from today, and +1000 bonus points to all involved enduring the heat!

Mustache socks??? YES!

Congratulations guys and have an awesome time in MAUI!

This session was SO much fun! Love when brides and grooms have fun, creative ideas, and are up for anything (even QT!)

More later…

…and because I really like the Fetters

A few from Curtis and Candace’s wedding day!

Candace looooooooooves her shoes.

This cute little jumping boy is Dax, who was in the family photos for exactly 57 seconds…before running away!

I can’t ever resist kids at weddings-they are always so adorable!

This little guy found a new home beneath the cake…

The kids were tearing up the dance floor!

First dance:

More cute kids on the dance floor:

Fact: This was the most interesting day at the Temple I have ever had. I will leave it at that.

Here are a few from Curtis and Candace’s session!

Fact: The drive to this session was pretty awful. Curtis and Candace made up for it with sheer awesomeness.

Jim and I go waaay back. Like, I remember him from when I first started shooting weddings nearly 10 years ago. He may not remember me from that far back, but I remember him for sure. It’s actually funny that I do remember him because I really can’t remember any other DJ I have ever worked with. Do you want to know WHY I remember him? Because he is good. He is great. He is the best. He is the DJ that I want to see at ALL of my weddings, which is why I am compelled to dedicate a post solely to recommending that YOU call HIM and your reception will be a hit. Guaranteed.

FACT: Jim Davenport was recommended to ME for MY wedding 11 years ago, but he was booked. Because the DJ we did book didn’t listen to us, we were forced to do the Macarena. Twice.
