Camille & Ben's Wedding at Tlaquepaque, Sedona

They were married on August 29, 2009 at the beautiful Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village in Sedona, Arizona.



The evening before their wedding Cammie & Ben invited all of their guests to a sunset hike at Bell Rock. This is how the hike started ... with Cammie running ... and it is one of very few photographs where I am ahead of everybody. Did I mention that Cammie is an extreme sports adventure guide and fitness model?



Cammie & Ben stayed at the amazing Lighthouse in Sedona with many of their friends. It (only) sleeps 16 and has beautiful indoor/outdoor spaces with flavors of Indonesia, Japan, Morocco and East Indian cultures. If I win the lottery, I plan on buying it!

Oh ... and here is a photograph of Cammie's gorgeous, sexy, wedding dress, which was featured with Cammie on TLC's Say Yes to the Dress -- "Ties that Bind."



Cammie started getting ready at the Lighthouse in Sedona ... total star quality & beauty!



At 5:38pm and 26 seconds, the dress was put over Cammie's head in the Bridal Suite at Tlaquepaque by her sisters, bridesmaids, and mothers. Four minutes later she was still standing in the same spot with her arms up in the air surrounded by "helpful" friends and family. I love the moments that make great wedding stories!



And she looked gorgeous once you could see her face again :)



Cammie & Ben's wedding ceremony at Tlaquepaque was at the Patio de las Campanas.



I always tell my clients two things before their wedding ceremony: (1) Look at each other during the ceremony instead of the officiant ... as it makes better pictures (2) Either give me a long kiss or a lot of short ones ... and it's the bride's choice.

Cammie & Ben didn't disappoint me. Cammie hushed her wedding guests as they started to cheer this marathon kiss with the perfect gesture.



Another Hollywood kiss.



The gorgeous couple.



Blinded by the bling.



Their reception was on Calle Indepenencia at Tlaquepaque and the ambiance was romantic, fun, and joyful. The afternoon had started out so windy and rainy that it had seemed like the wedding was going to be overshadowed by a monsoon ... yet the skies were clear and calm by the time the ceremony started. Totally miraculous.



There was an impromptu dance where Cammie was joined by her dad and her sisters ... this was the beginning of the dance before the other two joined.



And Cammie & Ben led the Horah.



And the Jewish Chair Dance.



And the elegant cake cutting ... and feeding ... and I think Cammie won this round :)



This was hilarious. During the garter toss, Cammie hid some rather large leopard panties for Ben to find. The crowd loved it. And it really exemplified the kind of person Cammie is and the kind of wedding Cammie & Ben hosted. FUN, FUN, FUN.

And we wish you a super FUN, happy, loving, healthy, adventurous life together!
