BENJAMIN + DIANA. SEDONA, AZ.

It was a wonderful Saturday morning. Several sweet girls surrounded a beautiful bride in a small cabin. The snow began to fall and I saw a smile on every face in the room. Joy radiated from the brides face. Plans weren’t changed. The snow felt right, it felt special. The cold weather held no reservation for an incredible support from an amazing community of friends and family. Everyone gathered on a bed of leaves with umbrellas in hand. Water trickled from the trees they stood under. The couple was surrounded by people who loved them dearly. You couldn’t tell a friend from family. The support was too great. Tears, smirks, smiles were seen and laughter was shared. Everything was beautiful. I wish I could be a part of it again…

The wine country in California is one of my favorite places to go. I couldn’t be more excited to shoot Ty and Jessica’s wedding in a place so beautiful. They were so awesome and so kind. Their friends and family were so much fun to be around. An all around wonderful day with such great people.

From the second I spoke to Jess, I knew I had to work with her and Scott. They were two creative souls with a huge passion for each other. Our first meeting together was perfect. The wedding was that and more. It was the kind of wedding you wish you lived in.

I was blessed to work along side of a couple of my favorites. Angel and Anna from Events of Love and Splendor who took Jess’s hard work and flawlessly put it together. They were calm, collected, creative and so sweet to be around. And my friends at Cana who were the best to work with and delivered a touching video. Thank you to Jesse for always working so hard for me. We all worked seamlessly as a team to present the best product to our amazing couple.

Thank you so much to STYLE ME PRETTY for the love on their blog today. Check out more of Scott and Jess on their SMP feature! You can see their inspiration HERE and their post HERE and HERE.

This day was long awaited. Diana became such a huge supporter of my work last year. I couldn’t wait to get an email from her telling me she was getting married “Mr. Wonderful” (as she refers to Benjamin). She knew exactly what she wanted for her wedding and didn’t waste any time. I quickly found myself landing in Arizona to spend some time with great friends. I can’t wait to share her beautiful, intimate wedding with you.

Until then, check out our first day together…
