We just had to re-post this fantastic photo shoot that appeared on the Savidge Photography blog. The styled shoot was for a feature in the newly created Sedona / Verde Valley Section of one of our favorite wedding magazines, WedAZ. Practically all of the vendors responsible were from Sedona Wedding Services resource guide, and did a superb job pulling this fun project together. The rainy weather did not stop Jessica from getting absolutely gorgeous images. The vendors had a fun “wrap party” after the shoot was finished. Everyone involved was delighted with the results as you will be as well. Sedona Wedding Services congratulates everyone on the simply lovely 5 page feature. Pick up your copy of WedAZ today! 
And now for something a little out of the ordinary… A couple months ago I got a phone call from the amazing and creative team at Events by Showstoppers in Sedona, AZ. Jim and Ken were putting together a professionally designed wedding scene that was to be featured in the January issue of WedAZ, and they wanted me to shoot it. It took all of a millisecond before I agreed, and went about making plans to be in Sedona. Now really, any excuse to head to Sedona is a good one, but to document the beautiful work of these amazing wedding professionals seemed especially wonderful. The idea behind this shoot is to give brides another look at the gorgeous and lush backdrop that is Sedona. As Jim mentions in the article he wrote “Babbling creekside venues, towering canyon cliffs, famous five star resorts and golf clubs, private ranches and residences are just a few of the great choices brides have at their fingertips”. He couldn’t be more right, Sedona is an oasis of beauty and tranquility, with endless options for a gorgeous wedding day. And just to the south, the Verde Valley is a lush wine country featuring some incredible scenery, and is rich with local resources. When most people think of Arizona weddings, they think of the desert landscape, dramatic cliffs, and canyons. However, this feature is a refreshing look at just how diverse the Arizona landscape truly is. Below are some of my favorite images from our shoot at Dancing Apache. Be sure to pick up the latest issue of WedAZ.
