Love is a many splendid thing!

Love is real, real is love. –John Lenno

This has been a very busy few weeks here at Aris Affairs Photography. With 4 weddings in 2 weeks at times I felt that I may go crazy, however, I would not change a thing. It is such a joy to be a part of others lives the way you are when you capture their wedding day.

One of the greatest joys for me is not photographing the set up portraits, but capturing the emotions and scenes of the day. Don’t get me wrong, I love to set up a pretty picture and make our couples look amazing. I mostly love when I capture the in between parts, or the moments that are happening when no one is paying attention to me.

This is a scene from a recent wedding we did at the Prescott Lakes Golf Club. Everyone in this picture is part of this scene. No one is paying attention to me and I love that! My favorite part of this picture is the little girl dancing. The light is hitting her so wonderfully you can see the movement in her dress and it feels like your there…And this is what I mean when I say we make Art from Life!
