Melanie and Phil - From Canada with Love
Katrina met Melanie, Phil, and their four beautiful girls, in Sedona to document their intimate elopement. All arriving in from Canada, the girls were surprised to learn that they would be participating in the declaration of vows between Melanie and Phil. It was truly a special day for everyone!
Margaret VanDamme, of VanDamme Weddings, officiated the beautiful ceremony and helped coordinate all the vendors. Brian David did a fantastic job playing guitar during the ceremony, as well as guitar accompaniment while Phil's oldest daughter sang Ave Maria during the ceremony.
Lastly, Melanie and Phil chose the chapel at Tlaquepaque Village for their ceremony. The perfect place to tie the knot!
Congratulations Melanie and Phil! We're so happy for you all!

The girls all prepared a reading for the ceremony... we love this storytelling image of sisters practicing through the window...
and this photo of the girls helping each other with what they would write.... we also love this photo for the layers ... if you carefully look not only is it an image of the speech being written but you can also see the reflection of the girls faces in the glass....
Phil's daughter helping him get ready...
an emotional and moving ceremony...
we love the layers in this image as well... Phil is signing the marriage certificate but also layered in the background is Melanie kissing her daughter...
Melanie looking up to hear the church bells ringing in celebration of their marriage...
We always take time to get a great family photo... there are a lot of other images that are more portrait like... you know... the kind where everyone has their "photo" smile on... but we always wait for that perfect more lively and unique moment where everyone is relaxed and having fun.
Ok, so the girls where throwing the bouquets in the background WITHOUT any suggestion from Katrina... how fun is that!
... the happy family ...
the gorgeous newlyweds!
how perfect is the body language in this image?! pure love!
