Heidi and Brad ~ Tlaquepaque Village, Sedona, Arizona

Heidi and Brad were married on October 12th, 2007, and from the get-go, we felt like part of the family! We are so blessed in that way, that just about everyone we work with treats us like family.

Heidi and Brad's wedding was a small and intimate one in the chapel at Tlaquepaque. Tlaquepaque is an amazing place because it's almost as if you've stepped back in time to an early 1800's colonial Spanish setting. And literally, that's what Tlaquepaque is modeled after.

Before the ceremony we were able to get some fun shots of Heidi and Brad exploring the village, as well as for few moments after the ceremony in the dark too. They are a really sweet couple, and they seemed to have a blast with their family and closest friends present!

Thanks for sharing your day with us, Heidi and Brad, and thank you for treating us like family!

Enjoy the images!

Kara and Will were married on October 6th, 2007 ... October is one of the most beautiful months in Arizona and the weather was fabulous. They are such an energetic couple very much in love with each other. We had fun documenting the day and seeing them have so much fun together and with their wonderful friends and family.

The pink themed floral decor was created by Bliss Extraordinary Floral. The ceremony was full of emotion and laughter; officiated by Suzanne Loo-McCoy from Sacred Unions.

WPJA.com and AGWPJA.com ~ 3rd Quarter, 2007

Katrina, the founder of Katrina Wallace Photography, which since my joining ( Andrew Mejia, Katrina's husband) has become Sedona Bride, is currently a member of both the Wedding Photojournalist's Association and the Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist's Association. While she has placed images in many of the past competitions, this quarter ( Q3) she placed in the top ten overall in both organizations.

Check out either the WPJA.com or the AGWPJA.com to see Katrina's winning images, and then also the fantastic images from other photographers that are helping to shape the industry in which we work.

We're honored, and I am especially pleased ( as her husband), to have Katrina's name up there in the overall top ten with photographers who's work we really admire and respect.

There are photographers from around the world, like David Murray from Maine, our friend Kym Skiles from F8 in Texas, Anna Kuperberg in beautiful San Fransisco, Jeff Ascough from the United Kingdom, and Dino Lara from the Philippines.

The judges for the 3rd quarter 2007 WPJA competition were photographers from the VII Photo Agency ~ if you're a photojournalist you know who these amazing photographers are ~ some of the world's top photojournalists, like Eugene Richards, Lauren Greenfield, Gary Knight, and Christopher Morris. Their images have appeared in TIME, Newsweek, Fortune, LIFE, National Geographic, American Photo, and other well known magazines.

The photographers at VII Photo Agency are truly amazing photojournalists. Be sure to see their work on the VII website. If you don't see it there, I'm sure you'll be seeing their images soon enough in the latest headlines.

Below are some screen-captures from the WPJA.com and AGWPJA.com website, with Katrina's name circled in red.







And here are the images...

A 3rd place in the transportation category:



A 5th place in the groom getting ready category:



And a 2nd place in the bride getting ready category, which also placed 2nd in the AGWPJA.com getting ready category. We'll show the AGWPJA image since that's the one we get to retouch and tone. There is a rule that WPJA images cannot be enhanced in any way, but the Artistic Guild lets photographers enhance images in any way they'd like. We get to do all the artistic enhancements we would have done in the traditional darkroom via computer, minus the yucky chemicals.



We want to say a special thanks to our clients Sara and Drew, Tonja and Ed, and Kate and Joerg, for entrusting us with the documentation of their beautiful weddings, and from whose weddings these winning images came. This would not have been possible without their love and their excitement for photography! You guys are amazing!

Blessings!
