The collaboration of talented Sedona Wedding Studio members resulted in this inspirational design that reflects a southwest image not often imagined by brides that live on the east coast or Midwest.  In the midst of the rustic country feel is incorporated a sense of casual elegance that might be found in the Italian countryside.

Jim Bullock and Ken Heflin, designers at Events by Showstoppers created the most incredible floral; Carefully placed stems in vintage bottles were on tables and then hung from the enormous cottonwood trees at the ceremony site.

The ever-talented team at Sedona Bride, Katrina Wallace and Andrew Mejia captured images.

This is a shoot that keeps on inspiring. Much more coming up.

Jill and JJ’s fall wedding took place at L’Auberge de Sedona. 

A total of 165 people attended the wedding!  Family of both attended, as did friends from the couples’ childhoods, high schools, colleges, law school, workplaces, and more.  One of the groomsmen traveled from India!

Jill wore a champagne hued strapless Maggie Sottero wedding gown with a corset back.  Two of the most meaningful items were a handkerchief she carried that her grandmother carried on her wedding day and her grandmother’s bracelet. The bridal party wore Bill Levkoff gold dresses with gold shoes.  The groom and groomsmen wore brown tuxedos. 

The bridal party’s colors were chosen to highlight the fall colors in Sedona-deep golden, burnt orange, wine red. A beautiful fall Sedona Wedding.

This couple was gorgeous to look at and so much fun to work with. The couple honeymooned in Argentina and Uruguay.
