We have the luxury of living in a mountain desert here in Flagstaff. It doesn't really rain much in the summer until August, and it REALLY doesn't rain in the desert desert of Sedona, um except this year.  On May 23, 2009 it pretty much rained all day minus the late evening but we were blessed with a light mist for our portrait session. Jennifer was a bit worried about the rain and it was sweet to witness her man, Jamaal, worried for her while he was getting ready. We kept telling Jennifer it would not matter for the photos and that we can make the best of any situation.  We did AND we had fun in the process. As soon as Jennifer saw Jamaal nothing else mattered-- these two exemplify true love. Jamaal (the groom) even got into helping us with the lighting during a quick portrait shot of Jennifer (love his concentration in that shot). This was a Sedona wedding that Jamelle booked, which means she was the primary shooter and I helped her as her secondary shooter and lighting assistant. Watch out Arizona! Jamelle is getting really good! Don't you just love that first kiss shot?  Karen Lynn of Sedona Wedding Planner and her team pulled this event together and despite the rain it was a lovely reception on the Patio de las Campañas (um, UNDER the arch ways) and Jennifer and Jamaal got their dream Sedona wedding!
