Amanda andJustin Married in Sedona

Congratulations to Amanda and Justin.  They were married in Sedona and what an amazing weekend.  Amanda had her heart set on a winter themed wedding.  So she hoped and prayed for a little snow.  Be careful what you ask for......The biggest snow storm to hit AZ in years happened on her wedding weekend.  Highways were closed and we actually had more snow than the city where the winter olympics were being held.  The wedding party and the photographers made it up there.

The red mountains and rocks were covered with a nice blanket of snow.  We had to dodge rain, hail and snow on the wedding day.  But Both Justin and Amanda were in great spirits.  We were able to find a few moments in between storms to get off some amazing shots.  




They incorporated the snowflake into the reception by giving each guest an ornament to take home as a momentum.

 
Justin's parents surprised the couple by sneaking off during the reception and decorating the honeymoon room in style and romance.  How sweet is that.



We did a session the day after to take advantage of the beautiful scenery of Sedona.  The weather let up and the sun came out.  We had picture perfect weather.  The red dirt however, turned into red mud from the previous day.  Again Amanda and Justin were up for the task.  Boots and sneakers in tote to dredge through the mud and climb mountains.  Yes, we made them literally climb a mountain.  Not a complaint to be heard.  Instead, they were ready to take modeling to a new level. LOL















Side note:  Amanda has been a bridesmaid in two other weddings.  Many of the bridesmaid/groomsmen have been some of our previous couples or in other weddings. We have become part of their family and we love them all to pieces. 

We had such a great time and I leave you with this sweet couple walking through thte beautiful sanctuary of Sedona.  Congratulations.
