We love to encourage couples we work with to bring props with them on their engagement shoot. It might be a favorite board game or a special blanket made by a family member. Well, George and Susan brought what means the most to them, Spiderman. Now I’m not talking the classic collector’s edition comic book or George and Susan dressed in stretchy one-pieces. Rather we are talking about Susan’s 18 hand beautiful bay gelding. Susan used to compete in Show Jumping with her horse, Spiderman. She now trains others in this magnificent sport, and Spiderman helps younger generations accomplish their showing dreams. It was an absolute treat to work with Susan, George and Spiderman. Brett and I both spent time around horses when we were younger, but this was our first chance to work with a horse in conjunction with an engagement shoot and it was so much fun. Spiderman was happy to take a nice scenic walk with all of us and stop to pose here and there.

Ian and Abby timed their ceremony to start just as the sun began to set on the beautiful McCormick Ranch Golf Course. The warm Arizona day dropped down to the perfect temperature for everyone to enjoy the wedding. Ian and Abby were so excited to be married and united as one that they chose to keep their ceremony short and sweet, “Do you?” “yes” , “Do You?” “yes” then a quick and fun hand shake, a passionate kiss and off they went to enjoy their party with everyone.
We walked in to the Presidential suite loaded down with our gear ready for the hustle and bustle of the long anticipated day. What we found was so much better. Abby and her close knit family laughing, smiling, and sharing stories. There is noting more special to us than to see a family so close and so excited about sharing such a special day.
Ian and Abby had their priorities alined when it came to their wedding day; the most important thing was to have fun with all of their friends and family. The couple set aside lots of time before the ceremony for their first look, family photos, and of course fun photos with their large wedding party. The McCormick Ranch Golf Club was incredibly accommodating and provided the wedding party with seven golf carts to get everyone around for the pictures. Ian and Abby’s golf cart was even adorned with a lovely Just Married sign. Now we are not going to lie, a large wedding party and that many golf carts means a little bit of pandemonium, but they all got returned safely in the end.
