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!




























































































































































ROBERT - SENIOR PORTRAITS

This past Saturday morning we met with Robert to shoot his senior portraits. We photographed his sister's wedding back in July and his mother called to see if we did these types of shoots. To all out there, the answer is yes. Though weddings comprise the majority of our work, we shoot all types of portraiture including seniors.

Thanks Robert! We had a great time getting to know you better and we appreciate all the time you invested into the shoot!
