It’s the end of August. Still hot here but the sense of fall is present in all the upcoming arrangements and details for our fall brides. Here is a summer wedding elopement shot captured by Pamela Duffy Photography. Kevin and Toni drove up to Sedona in their beautifully restored Rolls Royce to say their vows at the elegant L’Auberge de Sedona resort.

And The Bride Wore Chanel

Nina and John decided that because they both come from such large families that they would prefer a small intimate destination wedding for the two of them and then have a large gathering back home to celebrate. The stylish couple chose Sedona’s L’Auberge de Sedona Resort. They were chauffeured to a Red Rock location in a 1949 Bentley for their intimate ceremony. The bride wore Chanel and carried a small bouquet of orange ranunculus. They celebrated back at the hotel with an intimate dinner creek side in the small gazebo.

Nina described their experience as being “absolutely flawless” You could not tell by their radiant faces that it was one of the windiest and coldest days we have seen this year.

Sedona Elopement

vandammeweddings — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 00:35:51 +0000

You all know I love elopements. Danielle and Oliver eloped to Sedona, on a cold windy day the first of February. High School sweethearts, the stylish couple said their vows, after twelve years together, in the labyrinth at the Lodge at Sedona. It was a sweet moment. I love how the bride and groom decided on the unconventional, Danielle in a perfect little black dress and faux fur black shrug. (Loved the green nylons) and Oliver in a military-style jacket (reminded me of the Beatles) The unique wedding rings were designed by the couple. Beautiful weddings are always about your own personal style. Danielle and Oliver were a perfect reflection of this. Congratulations!

Summer Brilliance

Summer is here with a burst of color. Sharalee and David eloped to Sedona recently. They chose the fabulous Lodge at Sedona for their stay and held their ceremony on the lush lodge grounds. Sharalee decided against convention and wore this bright, purple/magenta and ivory dress. I love the purple shoes. Sharalee and David were fun, playful and relaxed. The Chicago couple were happy to be in beautiful Sedona.

Sedona has some exceptional photographers to capture your wedding day. One of our finest is the husband and wife team of Katrina Wallace and Andrew Mejia of Sedona Bride. On a recent winter day they photographed the wedding of Alisha and Brian in the Red Rocks. I love the pop of blue in her flowers and necklace against that fabulous mountain backdrop.

A Good Ending to 2009

This is our last wedding in December 2009. Our beautiful couple decided to elope to the serenity of Sedona after their guest list reached somewhere near 600. They were very happy to enjoy the moment, take in the beauty and peace of a winter at Red Rock Crossing and share the vows they wrote to each other. They will celebrate in the spring with a grand party for friends and family in their new home.

Congratulations Tara and Brent. Images by Pamela Duffy. Wedding by Van Damme Weddings Flowers by Ken Heflin at Events by Showstoppers and music provided by Magdalena Wolf.

Although facing some pressure with deadlines to complete paperwork before Ron’s deployment; Ron and Dallas knew they wanted to be married in Sedona’s serene and magical environment. Ron and Dallas were married in a quiet and beautiful ceremony on Oak Creek. The couple exchanged vows they wrote to each other on a perfectly clear Sedona fall day.
Pamela Duffy captured the day’s images and Bill Barnes played guitar. We at Van Damme Weddings are so proud of the men and women who are serving our country with such honor and sacrifice. This will be Ron’s third deployment. Pamela Duffy will be going to Phoenix to photograph Ron in uniform as he says goodbye to Dallas at the airport. Pamela is working on a photographic project depicting service men and women and their families.
