“Vintage and vineyards are two styles that we rarely see together. Lucky for us, Margaret of Van Damme Weddings designed this concept shoot inspired by a vintage Italian vineyard from the 40s. I am specially loving the mismatched vintage plates and the barrels decorated with flowers at the entrance of the aisle. Shot by the wonderful duo Katrina and Andrew of Sedona Bride”

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.

Dawn chose a 20’s inspired look with her halter style appliquéd gown, long pearl necklace and opera length gloves.  She carried a large calla lily bouquet created by Bliss Floral and popular in the 20’s and wore an ostrich feather attached to her custom made veil. Marcia The Art of Photography captured images at several locations, including Tlaquepaque, The Knoll and Red Rock Crossing.  Ceremony music was provided by Oman Ken. Planning and officiating by Van Damme Weddings.

The couple braved the cold waters of Oak Creek for a “trash the dress” session after their ceremony.

There were so many DIY details I loved about this shoot. The tables were set with a collection of mixed dinnerware and glassware, from my own collection. The vintage tablecloths were also part mine and some borrowed from a friend. The vintage family silverware came from home. The table numbers were made with mason jars, paste on numbers with small polka dots. The jars were filled with vintage marbles that were my friend’s grandfathers. I found a collection of very pristine Arizona postcards all written in 1937 by the same person wintering in Phoenix. I found them in Illinois where they were mailed to a friend or family member. These were used as menu cards. Place cards were small envelopes with cards. We used rub on wedding sayings on the card and hand wrote the guest name on the insert. They were attached to the French vases with colorful clothespin magnets.  The vineyard setting was perfect.
