We didn't have much time to do couple formals at Simone and Wade's wedding so they opted for a trash the dress shoot a couple of days after the wedding.  In addition, they thought it would be fun to do a trash the dress shoot and incorporate the Harley Davidson motorcycle Wade had rented into it ... and it was!  We held the session at Red Rock Crossing in Sedona.  We had a blast with these two and really enjoyed getting to know them.  Thank you both so much for having us as your wedding photographers!

 

Simone and Wade were married on June 12th, 2011 at the beautiful Enchantment Resort in Sedona, AZ.  They live and Massachusetts and decided to have a destination wedding in Sedona.  The thing we loved most about this couple, besides how sweet they were, was how they took their wedding and made it their own!  You wouldn't always think about chandeliers, fine china and crystal and Harley Davidson motorcycles going together at a wedding, but that was what this couple wanted and that is what they did.  It was a beautiful wedding and we were so happy to be a part of it!  Thank you to Kaila Williams for doing such a great job second shooting!

 

Suzanna and Kelly are such a sweet couple and we loved them from the moment we met them at their engagement session!  They were married April 23rd in an intimate ceremony at the beautiful Briar Patch Inn in Sedona in front of their closest family and friends.  The one thing I noticed all day was how happy Suzanna was all day long ... she simply glowed :-)!  Thank you both so much for having us as your wedding photographers.  It was a joy to be a part of it!!

Kendra and Kyle did their Trash the Dress Session in Sedona and it was by far, the dirtiest, muddiest Trash the Dress Session we have had to date, and we loved it!!  We started out at Garland's Oak Creek Lodge (which we could have spent the whole day at) and then continued to the West Fork of Oak Creek before ending at Red Rock Crossing - where things got dirty :-).  The first photo is a photo taken with our new underwater camera housing.  We are very excited about the possibilities we can produce with this new piece of equipment!  We want to extend a special thank you to Kendra and Kyle for trusting us in whatever was asked of them ... what an amazing shoot!!  Kendra did take the dress to the cleaner (she said we should have seen the looks on their faces.)  We will let you know the outcome :-)!

A side note here:  It is sometimes funny how our clients find us and this day had to be one of the strangest.  While shooting at Red Rock Crossing (while we had Kendra in the water) a couple visiting the park from Hollywood (near Miami), Florida, named Maya and Spencer, happened by and were really curious as to what we were doing.  We explained the concept of a Trash the Dress Session to them and they were amazed.  So much so, they said there 10 year anniversary was coming up next summer, 2012, and Maya was so inspired she decided she would "trash" her dress in celebration.  They were curious to see what the results would look like so they took our information to see photos.  We wished them good luck and told them they would love the experience, certainly never expecting to hear from them again.  A few days later, to our happy surprise, Maya contacted us and asked if we would fly to Miami to do the shoot.  The rest is history and we will be boarding a plane next July for sunny Florida to photograph Maya and Spencer's 10 Year Anniversary Trash the Dress Session.  Can't wait!!!

On to Kendra and Kyle's shoot ... enjoy the sneak peak guys!

Sarah and David had a very rare occurrence on their Spring wedding day in Sedona this April - SNOW ... that's right, I said snow!!  Snow isn't all that common in Sedona in the first place, though it does get cold in the winter.  By April however, the cold is usually giving way to warm, pleasant, sunny days full of blue skies.  Not on this day.  There was no denying the beauty of it though and we personally think Sarah and David got very lucky!  How many people that get married in Sedona can say they had a beautiful winter wonderland with red rocks peaking through drifting cloud banks as a backdrop for their wedding photographs ... not many, I can tell you that :-).  Congratulations to you both!  You are a wonderful couple and we wish you a lifetime of happiness ... can't wait for the trash the dress - wonder what kind of weather we will have for that :-).
