Ah.... L'Auberge de Sedona... such a lovely place and a perfect August day for Sheri and Billy. I loved how the bridesmaids had different shades of pink/red to match the flowers. It shows the unique personality of each woman. This couple was high school sweethearts and have known one another for 17 years (dating on and off). Billy's mom and Dad were holding back the tears at the ceremony, Matt always gets these great hand details and close up portraits and we used a little FlashFlavor during the reception. Check out the action shot at the candy bar... (ah a candy bar, a bride after my own heart). Once again, Showstoppers outdid themselves... check out those lilies. Laura Lane did a fantastic job coordinating the event as well as being their minister. View the slideshow here

Family and friends flew into Arizona for Elissa & Matt's destination wedding at L'Auberge de Sedona On May 7, 2008. Their wedding included an elegant hillside ceremony followed by a creekside reception. Practically all Elissa's friends at the wedding had known her for 20+ years. As someone said during the toasting, this reveals loyalty and lifelong friendships that are rare in our lives today. As a jellybean fanatic, I loved the little jars of jellybeans that they used for table seating. Everyone ate outside enveloped by the warm summer air of Sedona.

"I'm getting married, and I'm going to be the flower girl and I love Stephen and I'm getting married with Joey and Stephen and I'm going to throw all the petals..." Hope was filled with contagious enthuasium the moments before her Aunt Joey's wedding. These are the days that I love my job as I did on October 13, 2007. From the moment I met the creative, beautiful and gracious Joanna, I knew I HAD to shoot this wedding. Joey, as she prefers to be called, pulled off a themed event, which is never easy to do, especially without a coordinator. Her event boasted a vintage travel theme, the place "cards" where handmade paper airplanes, the gift table held an "antiqued" trunk, the tables were named after famous vintage hotels of the world, complete with their insignias and a mini paper trunk of your own sitting atop vintage stamps from around the world. Slideshow!

Thais and Trever light up when they see one another. Thais put so much heart and soul into this wedding with all her lovely details and incorporated a sense of her Greek heritage into the event...check out that ring. It was an intimate wedding in the Tlaquepaque chapel with a gorgeous reception in the adjacent courtyard on August 11, 2007.
