Ari Photography CD Cases..

I used to only offer CD cases to my brides, now that I have turned my business completely boutique, every client gets a custom CD case with the CD choice purchase from their shoot. I love these cases! I love how high quality they are and I absolutely LOVE designing them. Each case has two sides for CDs inside the case. My copyright release is right on the back so you no longer have the white envelope to keep with your CD:) This casing was designed for an up and coming model named Chase Russell. I'm excited and honored to be his first shoot because Im certain hes going somewhere with his modeling career! Of course the cases are designed according to event, wedding cases are designed with the feel and colors from your wedding.

Chase Russell Model Shoot









This was a fun shoot, and not so much for the reasons most of you think! So funny I have had SOOOO many comments on facebook about this shoot. Everyone wants to be hooked up with him. Presenting Chase Russell..a happily MARRIED man who's wife is expecting! They are an adorable couple. Infact if you check out the archives on my blogspot you'll see photos of his wife, Cristy Russell! Her shoot was the orchard boudoir shoot. Chase is just now thinking of possibly entering the modeling world, this was his first offical model shoot. I think he did a great job! Definitely clothing model material. We had so much fun! Cristy came and helped me with the reflectors et, as well Jerry my pal was there. Jerry is the owner of that sweet truck! I thought I had scouted out an abandoned gas station but it seemed more like a cop hang out! There were 3 cops just kickin' it in the back throughout the entire shoot talking et. Oye vey:) Great job Chase!

Taylor/Freitas Wedding Photography- Mandalay Bay Beach Resort




Here are two more to finish the grouping of favorite wedding photos from Candace and Allen Freitas' wedding last month. That was such a fun weekend! I sure loved this edgy couple! One thing I love about wedding photography is the diversity of clients that book with me. Some appreciate the arts a bit more than others and I got the feeling from this couple that they dug the bright colors and mood that I often like to add to my images.
When you book an artistic wedding photographer, don't be scared off by the label. At least when you book with Ari Photography, you get unique/artsy wedding photography as well as the traditional shots. I shoot photojournalistically throughout the wedding ceremony and reception, traditional for your formals (unless this couple really wants me to go for it!) Model/Fashion for the brides and bridesmaids, grooms and groomsmen, and bride and groom together. Artsy for the Details (rings, dress, shoes, table scapes). And Model/Fashion for your Rock the Frocks and engagements (the degree of that depends on the couple) I think this mix makes for some gorgous and unique wedding albums and memories altogether!
So really your getting the best of all forms of photography with an artistic photographer! Perhaps not all artistic photographers include traditionals, but I know that grandma and grandpa are going to want traditional so your going to get it!
Keep in mind that these photos are for YOU and your fiance, sure your parents may be footing the bill so go ahead and include them in your final decision, but don't let their traditional preference out way what you really appreciate. They will get traditionals from the formals I guarantee it! However you will be the couple having to look at the images for years to come!
Just a few thoughts:) In this case the bride, groom and entire wedding party were edgy, so I had a blast processing the shots:)
