Erika + David

They were married on September 21st, the autumn equinox, at the stunning L'Auberge de Sedona.



I love how David was escorted by his parents!



Their ceremony was hilltop at L'Auberge where the red rock view is spectacular. Shanti performed their wedding ceremony.



The sand ceremony.



David's wonderful reaction while Erika recited her wedding vows. So much joy ...



David was kind enough to shlep a ladder to his wedding for me to photograph all of their guests. That's Ron's hand (my husband and co-shooter) in the foreground as he inspires the crowd. You'll be happy to know that he isn't in all of their photographs :)



Their beautiful rings.



I absolutely love this photo; it encompasses so much. Erika and David are expecting their first daughter one month after I am expecting my second.



We ventured down to Oak Creek for more romantic portraits. The beautiful flowers were provided by David's aunt Faxon Green.



All of their guests were provided with transportation by Sedona Trolley. This photograph was taken as they arrived to their reception at the Agave of Sedona, with its own spectacular views and cuisine - I can't say enough about their cheese table. Erika and David's cake was created by Sedona Sweet Arts.

I've been really blessed this wedding season to meet and photograph such fabulous people. Before David and Erika even booked me to photograph their wedding, David hooked me up with a day of snowboarding at Snowbowl in Flagstaff. At their wedding, Ron and David realized they lived at one of Colorado's ski resorts at the same time and probably passed each other on the lifts. It's a small and very cool world!
