alisha + brian { married } sedona wedding

over christmas, alisha and brian's family got together. they decided, since they were all together, why not get married..? so, they had their immediate family attend their sweet and intimate wedding ... we're so excited to also be photographing their three points ranch wedding reception in austin, texas, in may :)

doesn't alisha look gorgeous? patricia vega did an amazing job on the hair and makeup ... i love how her styling is so soft and very romantic ...

everyone got ready at alisha's mom and dad's house ... the prep room had perfect lighting for photos and for makeup ... they all had their dogs there which i thought was so sweet!

love love love this portrait of alisha and the cake topper is just adorable

alisha's dad was ever the protective dad and i thought this little series was soooo funny

during the portraits we always try to get a more real and candid shot ...

it was a pretty warm day for winter but it was still pretty chilly.... alisha and brian were troopers for getting through the day in the cold... this location is on schnebly hill and we've been dying to have some one get married here because it is so beautiful... lucky me that alisha took our suggestion

brian saw this heart shaped pool of water and it was perfect for this shot below

alisha and brian! thanks so much for having me be a part of your day... andrew and i can't wait for your reception in may!

~xoxo~

Mo + Josh { oak creek canyon }

katrina and i were thrilled to be able to shoot in the location we were married 9 years ago this month :) garland's lodge is probably the cutest, most quaint, and comfortable canyon lodge you'll find in northern arizona.

mo and josh chose the perfect day for their wedding, and we know they and their families had a very nice time. thanks, mo+josh, for choosing me to document your wedding day... katrina and i had fun and are honored you shared it with us :)

...mo's ring is a beautiful family heirloom from several generations back.












...garland's has an enourmous organic garden, vineyard, and fruit orchard, which all made a great backdrop for their first meeting.


...sunflowers were an important part of the day :)












...the good-looking groomsmen. be sure to see the slideshow for more family formal portraits.












mo+josh had the coolest guestbook for their family and friends to sign. it is a copy of the cookbook " sharing the table at garland's lodge," that the chef and owners of garland's have just released... mo's family is part of the garland clan :)




blessings,
katrina + andrew

catering: simply delicious catering

sam and steven's full wedding day story slideshow.

this was one of the most fun wedding receptions we've been to... check out the images and you'll see why!

the wedding was filled with music from family and friends... what a great way to make your reception personal ... it helps when you have really talented friends and family too.



this is our favorite part of the reception! as you saw in part II, sam and steven are fun and love to goof around... well, steve started singing a song to sam, and sam picked it up and it became a duet... the best part is the song! it was "the time of my life," you know the one from the movie "dirty dancing"... and the crowd went wild! it was even more fun because of the fact that sam can really sing, and, well, steven tries hard... :)

btw, sam was chosen to create one of several versions of a song for the soundtrack for the recent movie the inglorious basterds. quentin tarantino only wanted the best of the several versions he commissioned to be made, and when he heard them all, without hesitation chose sam's. ironically, they are friends anyway, so he was happy to have chosen it. here's the video: the man with the big sombrero.
