I guess we could have just pitched a tent at the Sedona Golf Resort ... Lisa and Chris were married there on September 20th, the day after Marie and Scott's wedding :-).  The day was much nicer in terms of weather - no rain.  It was another beautiful ceremony and another crazy reception (not to mention emotional) and these two were so much fun to work with.  Both serve in the military and they have the military to thank for bringing them together.  They are a wonderful couple and we enjoyed the chance to get to know them!

Is it snowing in Flagstaff yet?

Marie and Scott were married September 19th at the Sedona Golf Resort.  The day began under very stormy skies, which didn't sit too well with Scott, but as if by magic, just as the ceremony began, the rain lifted and the clouds above lit up in spectacular fashion!  It really was quite an amazing day and the reception was wild to say the very least (many drinks found themselves broken on the dance floor that night.)  We were so pleased to be a part of it.  Thank you both and congratulations!

Marie and her father had a very emotional private meeting after she finished getting ready.

We are back to blogging!!!  Well, at least for a while.  Our usual way of blogging is to get a posting up within a week or two of a wedding or shoot so our clients can have a sneak peak before they get their photos.  Unfortunately this has not been the case this fall.  Our fall season has been one of our busiest with 17 weddings to date, and it is not over yet (2 more to go) ... oh, and that doesn't include portrait shoots.  For now we are having to blog as we finish deadlines, but for those that follow us, keep checking back ... we have a lot of great postings to come including an amazing wedding in Mexico, a wedding in West Palm Beach, Florida complete with a traditional Chinese Lion Dance, a couple of HOT trash-the-dress shoots and much, much more!!  Thanks for visiting :-)!!

 

Sarah and Jon were married September 18th at Highlands Church in Scottsdale.  Jon serves in the marine corps and looked very handsome in his dress blues.  Sarah was just plain stunning ... and man, could she pose - can't wait for the trash-the-dress shoot!  The wedding was beautiful and the couple was wonderful to work with.  Thank you both so much for having us as your wedding photographers.  We had such a great time!!

Shannon and Dave were married September 17th at Merry-Go-Round Rock on Schnebly Hill in Sedona.  It was a beautiful day - complete with those wonderful Schnebly Hill breezes - and a beautiful ceremony full of emotion.  They held their reception down in Phoenix the same day, so I was only commissioned for a couple of hours to cover the ceremony and formals afterwards.  Thank you both so much for having me as your wedding photographer!

It is a short, but steep hike up to the top of Merry-Go-Round Rock.  Dave's grandmother decided to watch from below with binoculars :-).
