Foothills Wedding | Kacee and Nicole Wedding Day

It was the most perfect spring day when we arrived at Ahwatukee Foothills Golf club for Kacee and Nicole's big wedding day. The girls were all relaxed  in the bridal suite as had they had their makeup done and nibbled on lunch. The excitement building as Nicole stepped into her dress on to the "ooh and ahh's" of everyone that saw her. It fit her perfect and the anticipation only built as the guests took their seats and waited for the beautiful moment when Kacee first saw Nicole in her dress walking down the aisle! They both said it was the most memorable part of their day and it truly was! 

Everything about this day was custom to Kacee and Nicole and truly spoke of how much these two were meant to be married. Having known each other for years, it really was so beautiful to witness these two say their I Do's as the Arizona sunset dipped behind the mountains. 

You guys! Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of capturing one of the best days of your life!We could not have had more fun watching you dance the night away with your friends and family and are so excited for you both as you bask in the newlywed bliss! We love you guys! 

All our best!

"My bouquet was a group effort between my family, friends and my now husband. I did not have any flowers at my wedding because Kacee and I are both allergic  so instead I had a brooch bouquet. Since I chose to make the brooch bouquet myself, it took me a about 6 months to get it exactly right and I was even doing touch ups while getting my hair done the day of my wedding. But in the end it was perfect and beautiful. It included brooches passed down from both our families which made it even more special."- Nicole

 The Ceremony

" If I could relive one hour of the wedding day it would be seeing Nicole walk down the aisle. I couldn't really see her until she turned the corner to walk down to me and she looked amazing." - Kacee

"What pops for me is finally being in front of Kacee at the end of the aisle. When I looked into his eyes, I knew he loved me. He looked at me like and made me feel like there was no one else around, which is a big deal for someone who hates crowds."  Nicole

"My favorite part was finally turning the corner and seeing Kacee at the end of the aisle. While we did see each other a lot throughout the beginning of the day, but we chose not to do a first look and that made that first moment so special." - Nicole

Jenn Wagner Studio at WPPI 2015

As a photographer, a large portion of my job consists of time in my office, answering emails, editing photos, creating timelines and coordinating with vendors on the phone. While all of that is a great and a very necessary part of owning a successful business, sometimes my world gets pretty small. That is why I love being able to attend conferences like WPPI - I get to be around other amazing photographers- and trust creatives are the most fun!!

I feel so fortunate to be a part of such an specifically amazing group of  photogs- the Showiteers. We all use Showit which is a software unlike any other website company as it allows you the freedom to create your site however you want and offers mobile and blog capabilities too! For a non-tech guru like me this is such an amazing thing to be able to customize my site without messing with any of the backend or crazy coding! Which means I can't mess up my site cause I broke something. Its such an amazing tool for creatives that want freedom to show their work through an easy to use, perfectly customizable site. Love SHOWIT! The best part though is the community that comes with it! So many amazing people!

I got made fun of for drinking diet coke out of a wine glass - classy Jenn, classy. 

I got to talk to amazing vendors like Two Bright Lights as I work towards my goal for this year of getting 10 weddings published, attend awesome personalized classes where we actually got to talk and share what its like to run a business and be a parent. I learned a ton about the importance of a great mobile website and how to ramp up my SEO. I met new friends, ate some amazing food and of course went to a few parties! It was such a great experience!

Getting to go to things like WPPI are not without it's sacrifices as I'm away from family, but it's always a great investment and reminder that yes- photography is my job - but that's only because it was my *passion* first. It's so nice for the refresher that I'm exactly where I want to be with my ideal career and doing what I love that allows me to stay home with my baby, shoot amazing weddings, and meet the coolest brides and grooms. So keenly aware of my blessings today.
