Amber and Jason's Wedding


Since we are a family of wedding photographers this day was a very interesting one for us with one of our own getting married.

Jason is our youngest of three son's. He married a wonderful girl by the name of Amber on March 3rd, 2005.

It was a beautiful warm (but not hot!) spring day at Ashley Manor in Chandler, Arizona. The wedding took place on a Thursday because we have allot of friends in the wedding business and for them to be able to participate it had to take place on a off, off day.

Scott and I (John -"the grooms dad") did most of the photography that day although others pitched in too. This was our second wedding in the family with our son Erik marrying a couple of years before.

A couple of family members had approached me a couple weeks before the wedding and told me that it was probably not a good idea for me to shoot my son's wedding because " being the groom's dad, I would have many duties to perform that day and it would be a very emotional for me "

Did I listen..........Nooooo.

I told them "But this is what I do."

I knew I was in trouble when, before the wedding ceremony, I was starting to take a photograph of our son and my wife. My wife, who had been crying for two days prior, began to cry. Which caused my son to cry. Which made ME to tear up. It was very hard to focus the camera with those tears in my eyes! Thank God for auto-focus.

What a wonderful, fun day for Monica and I both! We would like to share this day with you in a slide show with music that we made. Click here: Amber and Jason's Wedding
