lifestyle images with Meghan and Matt and the kids

Wow was it a hot summer day when I got to spend a bit of time with Meghan and Matt and their 3 adorable kids... Bear... the oldest dog was so so sooo adorable. It was so fun to see Meghan outside of work and also to meet her sweet family.

Meghan is the fabulous event coordinator at L'Auberge de Sedona Resort and Spa, and Andrew and I have so loved getting to know her during the past year.

Here are a few pictures of from our visit at Red Rock Crossing... not only was it really hot, but there were a TON of bugs ... but, we all managed to have some fun anyway!

Thanks so much, Meghan and Matt, for spending some time away from work with me!

My favorite shot...



Blessings,

Katie and Lee ~ Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Day After Session

We shot Katie and Lee's wedding last December, and thought we'd post our favorite images from their day-after session which was in Cabo San Lucas.

Katie and Lee were married at Dreams Los Cabos in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. They were so much fun to work with, and as you'll see in the images below, they were up for anything.. like a fun-filled day shooting around the resort, a quick trip to Cabo San Jose ( on the opposite end of the peninsula from Cabo San Lucas), and then back up the beach for their day after shoot :)

We love it when our clients take time out to get creative images taken on a day that's other than their wedding day. Day-after session images, which can actually happen before or after the wedding, are so much fun for everyone because there are no time frames to meet, and no stress of the wedding day... just a few hours to get dressed up again and have fun while creating some fabulous images.

As a side note, we love to travel, and if you've run into our blog and are sad that we're in Sedona and you're not getting married here... no worries! We'd love to talk to you about joining you on your destination wedding wherever that may be! We take a few travel assignments each year, so please don't hesitate to ask us!































Blessings!

Paula and Hans ~ Love That Boy, Love The Girl

Paula and Hans were married at Tlaquepaque Chapel on a rainy summer day in Sedona, Arizona.

We got together with them a few days before the wedding to shoot their "day after session" before their wedding... it was great because Paula was able to try out her hair and makeup artist before the wedding and we were able to go to a location we would not have had time for on the wedding day. Having already shot their pictures before the wedding, it freed them up to really enjoy the day with their guests and family.

With Monsoon season in full swing, Paula and Hans tied the knot between heavy drops of rain under a sky full of marvelous thunderhead clouds. Paula got ready at El Portal, an amazing luxury inn a short distance off of Oak Creek.

After a short and very sweet ceremony at Tlaquepaque Chapel, the wedding party went back to El Portal for cocktail hour. For dinner, Paula and Hans treated their guests to a Texas-style barbecue by the amazing chef at El Portal.

Paula and Hans were so happy and full of smiles, tears of joy, and hugs and love for their family and friends. It was truly a pleasure to be there to document this fun group!

The artistic floral and decor were put on by the amazing team at Events by Showstoppers. The delicious cake was made by cake artist Andrea Carusetta-Blaut at Sedona Cake Couture.

Look! Real keys! It beats having the plastic keys all the hotels have these days... real keys at a resort is so romantic!



The left shot is Andrew's take on the hanging dress shot... the right is Katrina's take of the dress shot in a reflection... which one do you all like better?



We're loving this layered shot Andrew took... I love that you can see Paula's mom helping AND see Paula putting on her earrings AND that you can see her maid of honor so excited in the background... awesome image Andrew! ( thanks honey! :) ~andrew )









While Katrina was with the girls...



Andrew was with the guys...















El Portal is gorgeous... we'll put up a details collage in another post...



These images are from their "day after" session... shot before their wedding at Cathedral Rock...
