Jennifer + Josh ~ L'Auberge de Sedona, Sedona, Arizona

Jennifer and Josh were married on May 17th, 2008, at L'Auberge de Sedona Resort.

It was a sunny and beautiful day as Jennifer, Josh, and their families began preparation for this amazing wedding. Jennifer has one super talented family! Her aunt did all the floral work and decor. Another family member Kerri, of Type A Events in the Phoenix area, coordinated the wedding and did a great job.

Jennifer is an event coordinator as well, orchestrating big corporate events worldwide, so as you can imagine, the details in this wedding were one of a kind.

She knew to leave makeup for a pro, and so commissioned Liz Margin work on she and the bridesmaids.

Jen was such a fun bride to work with ... you can really see her outgoing and beautiful personality in these images. And the kids at this wedding were so adorable!

Thank you so much, Jen and Josh, for being so fun to work with and letting us be a part of such a beautiful wedding day!

If you have some time to view their entire, spectacular, wedding-day story, here is a link to Jennifer and Josh's L'Auberge wedding slideshow.

Enjoy the images!

Jen had a seamstress take the lace from her mother's wedding dress and sew it onto the cover for the bible used during the ceremony, a shawl Jen could use if it got cold, and then also a ring pillow. What a great way to incorporate a personal touch, as well as heirloom pieces to pass down for generations!

Jen and Josh's wedding invitations... a calligrapher penned their names, and then a graphic designer incorporated it into the custom designed invitations.

An example of how two photographers can capture awesome moments... for Jen and Josh's "first meeting" Andrew and I took two different angles. The image on the left is mine; I love Jen's super cute expression. The image on the right is Andrew's, with an equally sweet expression from Josh.

We **loved** all the work Jen put into the print collateral for this wedding. Every detail down to even the signs to guide guests to the ceremony site and reception site were designed and printed by a graphic designer. Talk about a branded wedding! Great job Jen!

A moment found of one of the kids playing in the aisle just before the ceremony began.

Another example of how Andrew and I split up to cover more moments. The two images below are mine and the next horizontal shot of the Jen and her brother walking towards their dad is Andrew's angle. So many moments can happen in the same time frame.

Andrew's image at the top of ceremony site, and then my shot from 40 feet away of Jen and her dad walking down a very long aisle.

They literally had a 5 minute ceremony... it went fast!

All the fabulous details... in a green and white theme. We particularly liked the cookies in a box and cold milk by the door for guests to have as they left. See? Really there was no detail that was skipped. Jen and Kerri thought of it all!

Congratulations to Jen and Josh!
