Last week the Event Industry Alliance hosted Recharge an All City Mixer to bring all the event networking groups together in one place. I had the pleasure of shooting the Event. It was a great time, here are some of my favorite photos from the event.

Check out the rest of the images.

This year has been amazing. It was my busiest year to date. Here are some of my favorite wedding and portrait images from the year. You can also check out my non-wedding related Best Of 2010 on my editorial site. Thank you to all my amazing clients. It’s been quite a wild ride and I’m looking forward to the challenges and fun ahead in the new year.

This spring, Arielle attended the Audio Publishers Association conference in New York. In preparation for the event she made a handfull of demo cds. She also ordered some USB flash drives with her logo. I thought it was a great way to make a memorable impact on the various publishers she met. How many people actually receive a flash drive for a demo? My guess is not many. She wanted some nice photos of these flash drives, so I pulled up the Strobist blog and found a great setup.

I couldn’t find a suitable surface for the shoot, so I used the stove top. WARNING: make sure the surface isn’t hot before trying this.

Every year cousins Phil + Sandy invite all the little cousins over to make cookies. It’s something They’ve been doing for many years. The kids, get blocks of dough, roll it out, then cout out christmas cookie shapes. As the kids finish cutting out their cookies, Phil + Sandy quickly bake all the cookies so everyone can decorate the cookies they made.

This fall I shot some promotional photos for The Center, a cool new venue in Tempe. The venue was just featured on the Sensational Events website.

Here is another one from the shoot.

Arielle and I are fortunate to have a lot of extended family in the area. We joined the cousins for Thanksgiving at Aunt Toni’s house for food, fun and some football.

Lately, I’ve been tied to my computer, editing photos, researching projects, wrapping things up from this year and preparing for next year. Everyone that runs a small business knows that we can get so caught up in running the business, we can lose sight of why we started it in the first place. Then something comes along and whacks you over the head to remind you.

I posted photos from Jeremy + Nipa’s wedding (part 1, part 2) shortly after they were married.

Today their wedding was featured on Maharani Weddings in several parts Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4.

Ray + Britt were married in the backyard of her dad’s house. They had a small ceremony with only family followed by a much bigger reception/party with all their friends and coworkers. Both avid mountain bikers, we were able to exchange a few mountain biking war stories. Congratulations Ray + Britt.
