This past week we met with Michele and Josh to photograph their engagement shoot.  The shoot was held at Red Rock Crossing in Sedona per Michele's request.  She had seen this location on our blog and decided she wanted her photographs taken there.  The bonus was that the leaves are changing around Oak Creek adding a welcome element to the shoot.

Michele is originally from Michigan while Josh hails from Ohio ... both now live in Mesa.  They are having their wedding in a small town about an hour outside of Detroit in September.  This is part of why they chose Sedona.  The water and trees (in fall color) remind them of where they plan to marry.  They also wanted photos looking at Cathedral Rock while wearing rival jerseys from their home states ... what a cute idea :-)!  Their dog also joined us and was a real sweetheart.

Michele and Josh, it was a pleasure meeting you both and spending some time with you.  Thank you for being so willing to get your feet filthy with red rock soil for a few unique photos.  You were both so much fun and we hope to have the opportunity to follow you to China, Michigan to photograph your wedding :-).  Enjoy!

Yes, this is me standing in the water to get the shot I wanted ... did I mention that the water was freezing ...

On Saturday, October 11th, we photographed Tracy and Steve's wedding at Creekside Inn in Sedona.  They chose to have a traditional Native American ceremony which was as beautiful as it was spiritual.  Their son, Matthew, participated in the wedding and became quite the sprinter, never wanting to linger too long in the moment :-).  The day was beautiful, but a bit windy and extremely cold by Sedona standards in early October ... we felt really sorry for Tracy, who was freezing to death all day.  She was determined though, and suffered through it to get her photographs :-).

Tracy and Steve, thank you so much for choosing us as your wedding photographers.  It was such a pleasure getting to know you both ... and Tracy, you looked spectacular in that dress!
