Winter Engagement Session Sneak Peek {Meghan & Drew}

Meghan and Drew were in Flagstaff from Wisconsin visiting for the holidays and decided to have their engagement session photographed on a beautiful wintery day!


Gorgeous Ring!


This couple needed no direction, they just enjoyed each others company and let us shoot away!


The stunning bride-to-be!


They even braved the cold with out jackets!


Meghan & Drew could not stop giggling, it was pretty cute!


So sweet! We can't wait to capture more of Meghan & Drew in June at their wedding! Congratulations! -Melissa & Kristen

Fine Art Canvas {Alicia and Kyle}

I absolutely love it when clients send me photos on how they display their wedding photos in their home and office.  Alicia just sent me these photos of her new canvases and I just had to share them!  You might remember Alicia and Kyle, they got married last October and are the couple behind The Charity Wedding concept.  Kyle is now a chiropractor and owns a clinic, Camp Verde Family and Chiropractic Wellness Center.  Alicia works alongside her husband, and also heads up the very popular wedding and philanthropy website, The Charity Wedding.  In addition, this couple is out and about volunteering all over the state for various charities, and they also foster dogs for Golden Bone Rescue and the Beagle Arizona Rescue Club.  I'm still figuring out when this girl sleeps :)  This is her home office desk and I love how she put a collage above where she works.

 I love the ones that she choose to get printed, they all work together very well!

This one hangs above their fireplace.  I can't think of anything more romantic about this one going there :)

Thanks for sharing Alicia!  Hope you and Kyle have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!

Fall Engagement Sneak Peek { Amy & Rick}

Amy and Rick picked the most beautiful time in Oak Creek Canyon for their engagement session. The leaves were incredible that day!


Amy and Rick were so much fun to work with, we can't wait until their Flagstaff Ranch wedding in January.


How gorgeous is Amy's ring!?! Nice job Rick!


Amy has the most beautiful blue eyes, they are piercing!


This is one of our favorites from the day, so sweet!



Congratulations to Amy & Rick on their engagement! - Melissa & Kristen

Foxboro Ranch Wedding {Alex & Kenny}

Alex and Kenny's wedding was outside of Flagstaff at the beautiful Foxboro Ranch.  This special couple, with the help of  Kim from KD Event Designs, created one of the most meaningful weddings Kristen & I have ever worked or attended.  This was a relatively large wedding but all the personal touches made you feel like you were at an intimate wedding witnessing something extremely rare and special.  From the wedding gift that Kenny made for Alex, to their creative wedding vows, and their long time friend singing as Alex walked down the isle, let me tell you this was a special day!

The Jewish Ceremony was so meaningful, I'm so honored to have been there for that.

Love this photo of Alex's mom during their Jewish Ceremony.

This dress was perfection.

I adore this series, Kenny made Alex a music box, with parts that he bought in Russia, that played her favorite song, "Close to You". Yep, I was crying.

Such a nice moment before Alex and her father walk down the isle.

I LOVE this bridge! So beautiful!

Alex's long time friend sang during the ceremony. It was so heartfelt :)

Kenny's vows was singing the song from the Wedding Singer "Grow Old With You". Not a dry eye in the crowd...

Love this little moment of the ceremony, Alex has a beautiful smile!

Foxboro Ranch is spectacular for a wedding, especially when you have the talented Kim Duncan of KD Event Designs making everything perfect!

So many meaningful details!

Happy couple!

This was such a gorgeous evening, just perfect!

Alex is stunning!

Kenny's guitar and Alex's amazing bouquet made by Dana at Glamorous Occasions.

One of my favorites of the day, the clouds are awesome!

The beautiful bride!

Congratulations once again to Alex and Kenny! xoxo- Melissa & Kristen

Orpheum Theater Wedding {Marci & Eric}

Marci & Eric's love for music weighed highly in the decision to get married in the historic Orpheum Theater in downtown Flagstaff and having a music festival theme wedding. 

Marci looked stunning in her elegant gown and heirloom veil!

Their first meeting took place in the garden at The Inn at 410.  Eric's expression is priceless when he gets a look at his beautiful bride for the first time!

Kim Duncan from KD Event Designs did not disappoint with all the creative details! Our favorite was the tickets guests received at will call for their table assignments!

Marci & Eric's wedding was a special family affair! Their combined four kids made up their wedding party!

Thornager's Catering did a fabulous job on all the food. The bride and groom had three different food stations and a food truck to go with the music festival theme!

We were able to get on the roof with the Orpheum sign! Thanks Marci and Eric for being good sports!

Instead of the traditional wedding cake Marci & Eric had a dessert bar with a variety of treats from local favorites Sugar Mamas and a gelato station from Kickstand Kafe!
