Sheri & Billy

Billy's reaction upon first glimpse of Sheri before they walked down the aisle together

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

Kristine & Dustin Wedding

Talk about being behind on the blog... well I don't want to rush the editing, but hopefully I'll be back on a weekly track in the next two weeks. Kristine and Dustin, got married at Nativity Church in downtown Flagstaff on August 18, 2007 with their reception at Forest Highland Golf Club. These two families were so much fun all day. Kristine was beautiful and Dustin was handsome. I loved the color choice of the orange bridesmaid dresses with pink sashes and pink shoes. Showstoppers did the flowers, and take a look at that cool ring bearer "treasure box" as they called it. Most creative thing I've seen a ring bearer carry thus far. click here to view slideshow.

a must read for all wedding photographers (and everyone else)

Read this article...from the Washington Post. It articulates everything I've ever wanted to say about wedding photography and then some. Bravo Matt Mendelsohn!
