Joy and Josh {sweet love}

Joy is an editor with In Style Weddings magazine ... you can only imagine how thrilled we were that she asked *us* to document her wedding!! The best part is that Joy and Josh are some of the sweetest people you'll meet. We really enjoyed them both!

A special hats-off to Karen Lynn of Sedona Wedding Planner, for orchestrating such a beautiful day. Her attention to detail, and ' the little things,' (from making sure the drinks and appetizers were served on her antique silver trays) to the big things (the complicated timeline) is very admirable.

Here is a list of the vendors and venues that helped make the day extra special...

Wedding coordination - Sedona Wedding Planner
Preparation venue for the girls - El Portal
Preparation venue for the guys - Sedona Rouge Hotel and Spa
Ceremony location - Sedona Historical Museum
Floral and Decor - Events by Showstoppers
Cake Artist - Sedona Cake Couture
Reception - Tlaquepaque
Catering - Cucina Rustica

Love this shot...

We love to get the in between moments during formal portraits... Katrina's shot of the girls getting the baby to come over for the formal shot while Andrew captured a candid of the guys checking the time.



El Portal is a gorgeous property and a perfect backdrop for preparation pictures...



Joy arriving in the Bently....

Right before their first kiss as husband and wife! Check out their slideshow to see the rest... we captured a ton of great shots of the newlyweds walking down the aisle!

The colorful bouquet by Ken at Showstoppers.



Playing with depth at Tlaquepaque. There are so many beautiful backdrops and opportunities to make great images there... it's a photographers playground!

What would a wedding in Sedona be without pictures out in the red rocks? This spot is near Tlaquepaque... can you tell they like each other?



After sunset the sky turns different shades of blue... you can see how it intensifies as it gets darker into the evening. The shot on the left is the last light of the day... and the one on the right is about a half hour after dark.



Andrea's cupcake cake was so much fun!



The first dance, sleeping kids, great food from Cucina Rustica, and dancing fun... all halmarks of a great reception! This is one of our favorite reception venues to shoot! It's gorgeous and boy did this crowd love to dance!



Love, love, love this ending shot of the night... thanks so much Josh and Joy! We're so happy for you both!

~xoxo~
