This was an extra special wedding for me to be the photographer for. I knew the groom and his sweet family from a time when we both lived in Nebraska. When Daniel, the groom, was a young teenage boy, he use to help me watch my rambunctious two year daughter on the playground. He was such a sweet and fun kid.He was then and still is not a very kind, caring, and loving person. It was a little strange seeing him all grown up; enlisted in the military and taking on a beautiful wife. As a family friend, I was very proud to see how well he is doing for himself and excited to see what the future will hold for him and Adriana, his beautiful bride.

I was honored to travel to Queen Creek Arizona to capture Daniel and Adriana's very special day at the gorgeous Schnepf Farms .

Weddings are a beautiful reminder of what makes humanity special. Weddings take two people with two different backgrounds and families and brings them all together and collides them into something new, beautiful, and unique.

From the start of the Horns' big day to the end, it was filled with lots of sweet, precious moments.

Adriana was adorned in the most beautiful dress and crowned with the most amazing jewels and loved and supported by all of her family.

I loved photographing these moments as she prepared herself for her husband.

I still cant believe how grown up Daniel is. I know his mom and family are all very proud and supportive of him.

It was great to see how much support surrounded him on this special day. Family and friends flew in from all over the country just to celebrate this very important time in their life.

These are some of my favorite moments photographed as Daniel beamed with excitement in anticipation to seeing his beautiful bride and starting a new life with her.

A wedding is just the beginning of a lifetime joined together with the person you love.

A lifetime of moments that are happy, sad, and everything in-between. Moments that are shared with the person you love and trust above all others.

How precious and beautiful are these moments as Daniel and Adriana start a new chapter of life together.

I am from Albuquerque, New Mexico. To me Phoenix, Arizona is like my next door neighbor. It was nice to be back near home in the warm dry climate. There are many things I love about the desert. For instance the dry heat and how colors really pop among their brown surroundings.

This grand event was anything but colorless.

The whole event took place at Schnepf Farms in Queen Creek, Arizona, about an hour out side of Phoenix Arizona.

I loved photographing how the pink blooming orchard as it created a stunning backdrop for this beautiful wedding. I also loved how the green in the grass really popped as if there was not a desert to be found.

There was so much about this location and couple that is to be adored.
