JOYCE AND BETH WEDDING - THE LIGHTHOUSE, SEDONA

This blog posting is going to be a bit longer than usual. After our senior portrait session last Saturday morning, we headed down to Sedona to photograph the wedding of Joyce and Beth. As some of you may know, Joyce is more to us than a client ... she has also been working with us as our assistant since last February. Initially, we came to know Joyce and Beth last January when they hired us to do their wedding and from there we have all become good friends.

Their wedding was held at a beautiful private estate known as the Lighthouse. This is the perfect setting for an intimate affair and the property is landscaped perfectly for photographs. Joyce has such a great spirit and always keeps us in stitches and Beth has the prettiest smile :-). One very special detail was the beautiful locket attached to Beth's flowers containing her father's ashes ... extremely touching. After the ceremony we traveled the short distance to do photos at Red Rock Crossing. It was nearing dark and we thought we weren't going to get anything dramatic - boy were we soooo wrong. Just as we arrived, storm clouds came creeping up from behind Cathedral Rock, making for an incredibly dramatic landscape. This is totally a photographer's dream and we were scrambling around, having a hard time comprehending our good fortune, trying to make the most of every last minute of it. Finally the light died off, but not before giving us amazing images!!!

Joyce and Beth, you were both radiant and stunning and it was such a joy for us to be a part of your day! We are just so glad you hired us because you have become such great friends and we feel blessed for that. We wish you both the best in life!

Wow.

Obviously since I work with you both, I know how great your photos are. I never thought I would have been this taken back by them. When I look through them I feel as if I'm a fly on the wall watching each moment. They are breathtaking. If the shots you posted were the only ones we received...we'd still be thrilled. Ummm but they better not be the only ones! :)

Seriously, I'm so proud that I get to work with you two. I aspire to be just a portion as talented as you both are.

Thank you for the opportunity to assist you and for capturing the most amazing day of my life.
