Liz + Guy

They were married on April 15th at Red Rock Crossing in Sedona. (Yes, it was tax day, and I was curious to know but afraid to ask if that was intentional).



The ring exchange.



The secret place that Liz wrote her vows.




Rev. Janelle Sparkman of Red Rock Celebrations of Sedona performed a beautiful ceremony. I love this picture of the three of them right after the wedding because the joy is so contagious.



A beautiful portrait of Liz + Guy at Oak Creek.



And in front of Cathedral Rock.



This is my favorite image. Love knows no age.

Open Range

A few nights ago Amara Resort in Sedona asked me to photograph their new restaurant in uptown called Open Range.



The views of Sedona's red rocks are gorgeous!



The restaurant is the perfect size for wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, and corporate events like the one that they were hosting this particular evening. Events by Show Stoppers of Sedona created the gorgeous Native American chandeliers.



The food is delicious. In the background in black is their talented
Chef Ivan Flowers.



A grammy nominated Native American Flutist, K. Mockingbird, played the most beautiful music at the event.

Valerie + Phillip

They secretly eloped on April 4th at the spectacular Enchantment Resort in Sedona.



Rev. Andrew of Heart of Sedona Weddings performed a thoughtful ceremony that brought tears to both Phillip & Valerie's eyes.



A very dapper detail.



Sunset descends upon the beautiful Boynton Canyon.



This part of their secret elopement was really fun to watch! Valerie & Phillip were actually on a business trip. At their company dinner that evening also at Enchantment, they surprised their colleagues with their exciting news.



The reactions were perfect!

Kitty + Larry

They were married on March 15th in a beautiful intimate hillside ceremony at L'Auberge de Sedona.



The bride was beyond happy, which makes my job so much fun!



The groom's 3 year old granddaughter was one of the flower girls and she made a wonderful entrance.



Her 2 year old sister wasn't so happy.



Kitty & Larry with their attendants. Their gorgeous flowers were created by Bliss Extraordinary Floral.



I loved how Kitty's sister offered her support and love.



I also loved how their guests held hands during a ceremony prayer.



Kitty told me that it was the happiest day of her life. It makes me smile each time I think of her beautiful spirit.
