Andrea and Andy were married October 11th, 2009 in Sedona!  They held their ceremony at L'Auberge de Sedona and their reception at Agave of Sedona.  We had the unusual circumstance at this wedding to have plenty of time for couple formals.  This was really nice as we were able to take them at a relaxed pace ... usually the pace is a bit more frantic :-).  Because of the extensive amount of time we had for this we started out creekside before the ceremony and then headed over to Schnebly Hill after for some classic Sedona red rock backdrops.  It was a beautiful wedding day and we were so happy to be a part of it!

There was a bit of confussion about when Kelcey's father should take his seat, but it all finally worked out and added a bit of humor to the ceremony :-).

Beautiful set. They look like they had a lot of fun. I agree with you the sunset shots were my fav.

Angela:

I agree, that one shot is just breathtaking! I love it so much! Such a beautiful set of photos...once again, and as always, you two did an amazing job.

Sarah and Brady were married on January 9th, 2010 at the Castle at Ashley Manor in Chandler.  It was a beautiful day with mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine ... what else would you expect though from the valley of the sun in winter.

 

We have really enjoyed working with this couple since they booked us last year (the engagement shoot was a ton of fun) and have been eagerly anticipating this wedding!  It was all I had imagined, with beautiful decorations and details, a stunning couple, gracious (and fun) family and friends and a rockin reception!  Thank you Sarah and Brady for having us as your wedding photographers.  We are looking forward to the trash-the-dress shoot :-)!

 

My good friend and very talented wedding photographer, Melissa Dunstan, went along on this one as the second shooter.  We had such a blast working together and we even took a moment to have photos taken in the photo booth ... LOVE those :-).  Thanks Melissa for all your hard work!!

 

Love Sarah's dress and red shoes ... all the girls wore red shoes too.

This is one of my favorite photos!!  It looks more like a painting than a photograph.
1-9-10SBWed03.jpg
1-9-10SBWed04.jpg
Sarah's team: the Detroit Red Wings and Brady's team: the St. Louis Cardinals ... you will be seeing a lot of this throughout the wedding :-)!
1-9-10SBWed05.jpg
This is adorable :-).  Sarah's friend set this up to take a photo.
1-9-10SBWed06.jpg
1-9-10SBWed07.jpg

How cute!!
1-9-10SBWed09.jpg
A great shot by Melissa of Brady getting ready!

1-9-10SBWed11.jpg
1-9-10SBWed12.jpg
Again, so cute!!
1-9-10SBWed13.jpg
Sarah's walk down the aisle got emotional for everyone.
1-9-10SBWed14.jpg
Brady had a hard time holding back the tears.
1-9-10SBWed15.jpg
1-9-10SBWed16.jpg
I LOVE this shot by Melissa!!

These guys were such hams :-) ... just hilarious!!
1-9-10SBWed31.jpg
More red shoes and humor.
1-9-10SBWed32.jpg
How cute is this shot ... we didn't expect the smallest girl in the bridal party to walk with everyone, but she did and it was great!!!  Only problem was, she didn't want to turn around :-).
1-9-10SBWed33.jpg
1-9-10SBWed34.jpg
What a beautiful setting!

This is one of my favorite "first dance" shots ... the mood is just amazing!

Sarah shared a very spirited first dance with her father ... it was great!!

OK ... as you can see, Melissa and I got in on the photo booth fun.  I am on the left in the stunning, and I might add chic, leopard pimp hat and Melissa is on the right in the flamboyant, hooker pink feather boa.  We make quite a pair, don't we??!!  And look at Sarah and Brady ... I love photo booths with props!!

This little girl could sing ... she was AMAZING to listen to!!
1-9-10SBWed54.jpg
How funny is this guy ... I think he robbed the prop box from the photo booth ... I hope :-)! 
1-9-10SBWed55.jpg
Gotta love when people really get into the "Thriller" song :-) ... AWESOME!
1-9-10SBWed56.jpg
1-9-10SBWed57.jpg
These two are so funny!!

Elayne prayed for a winter wedding complete with snow and that is exactly what she got!  She and Craig reside in Phoenix and planned their January 2010 wedding in Flagstaff in the hopes that it would be snowing on the day of ... or at least there would be a little snow on the ground.  Elayne even bought the cutest pair of winter-white boots in anticipation of the snow.  They didn't get a snowy day but they did get ample snow on the ground as Flagstaff had recently been heavily dumped on :-).  They held their wedding and reception at the Radisson and were quite willing to go off property to get some beautiful shots in the snow ... thanks for trusting us on that one :-).  Thank you both so much and we hope you enjoy the sneak peak!

 

Side note:  We would like to thank our new assistant, Angela Beebe for her fantastic work at this wedding.  She will be working with us at many of our upcoming weddings and shoots and we are really excited to be working with her!  Welcome aboard :-)!

Once the dress was on, the event Elayne had been planning for so long finally became real and she broke down in tears, but they were tears of joy :-).

I love it! My photo fits so well within those other two pictures! I have to say though, my favorite is the one of them kissing with the sun bursting in between them. Also, the one of them in the snow, that you said you LOVE LOVE LOVE! I agree!!

I first met Megan a little over a year ago.  One of her good friends, Paige, was one of our past brides and Paige and Megan decided to do a boudoir session for their men.  Shortly after that, Megan got engaged and called to have us photograph the wedding.  Megan and her fiance, Colton, love the mountains and wanted their engagement session to take place amongst the autumn aspens.  Fall was a bit odd this year ... very sporadic color ... so we spent the day on a scavenger hunt of sorts looking for good patches of color.  We had a great time and I just love these two!  I can't wait for their wedding this March!!
