The Garbe family holds a place very dear to our hearts! We first met them in 2007 when we photographed Amanda's sister, Paige's, wedding. Since then we have become very close with them, photographing children, first birthdays, family reunions and so on. We have had the privilege to watch this large and very close family as it grows and on May 7th we got to witness and photograph the wedding of their youngest daughter, Amanda, as she married the love of her life, Trent! The wedding was held at the Garbe family home and everything was just beautiful. Some aspects of the wedding were traditional ... and some definitely were not. Amanda and Trent made this wedding unique and their own and that's what I love about them :-)! Congratulations to you both!! Love you guys!!!
Brooke and Ryan were married April 30th, 2011 at Arcosanti in Mayer, Arizona. This was a unique wedding to say the least!! Arcosanti was placed under construction in 1970 as an experimental town meant to demonstrate ways of improving urban conditions while lessening our impact on the environment. It is still up and running today and continues its strides in teaching us how to handle our effect on the Earth. Brooke and Ryan's wedding was only the 4th or 5th to be held there in the community's long history, so indeed, it was a real treat to be a part of it! Thank you both for having us :-)!
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!!
Angie:
Seriously. Talk about being happy... She looks ecstatic in every picture! I love that!!! I love the sassiness she has in her family portrait/formal and I love love LOVE the intimate setting of the chairs around the ceremony. Fantastic! Such beautiful pictures, once again. Congrats to Suzanna and Kelly, Sorry I couldn't be there.

Kendra and Kyle were married on April 16th, 2011 at the Arizona Historical Society Museum in Tempe, Arizona. These two are simply amazing ... and a fantastic couple to both work with and know on a personal level! They are so upbeat, spirited, and genuine and their wedding was unique and we were so glad to be a part of it! They even had a Bob's Big Boy that came along to the wedding as a "special" guest :-). Story goes that he has been around with Kendra for a while and at times he would mysteriously disappear. It would appear that friends would take Big Bob on vacations, trips, etc. and take his photograph in various locations. So, it seemed appropriate that he should be at his owner's wedding. The amazing thing was that the Museum happened to be having a Bob's Big Boy display ... what a funny coincidence - and a great photo opp!! Wait till you see the Trash the Dress session they had in Sedona ... by far our dirtiest yet :-)!

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 :-).
Nelda King-Sloan:
LOVED the snow...LOVED shot #42! So beautiful. :)
