I’ve been waiting for John and Janelle’s wedding since the day I met them. I knew it was going to be a classy affair. I knew it was going to be beautiful with the Sedona mountains as the natural backdrop. I knew that John and Janelle were going to be gorgeous and full of love. What I didn’t know is that their wedding day was going to surpass my already high expectations (a hard thing to do by the way). Yes, their wedding was definitely worth waiting for. To see all the amazingness of the day, you can visit their slideshow here.
A few nods to everyone who helped make this day so pretty…
The ceremony and reception took place at the Poco Diablo Resort in Sedona, Arizona.
The beautiful hair was created by Heather Tomasek, with Head First Hair Designs.
Flowers by Mountain High Flowers.
And my amazing second photographer, Sarah Shaw… thank you, thank you!!
On to the photos… starting with a few photos of Janelle getting the final makeup touches.
Sarah captured these next two black and whites of Janelle, and I just love them!
Janelle’s dress was stunning and perfect for her. And I loved the special touch with the purple shoes. So fun!!
And the result of all that primping? Absolutely stunning perfection!
Janelle and her girls… awesome group!!
A few shots of John that Sarah captured. Looking good John!
A few shots of the ceremony…
This next shot is one of Sarah’s. Love it!
Sedona has so many glorious colors and amazing nature everywhere. It was such a treat to photograph this wedding.
A few shots of the kiddos that Sarah captured…
John’s father hand carved the doves on top of the cake and the gift/card box. I was stunned at the care and detail that went into these pieces. I actually thought the doves were stone because of how they were polished. Absolutely amazing!
Some of my favorite shots from the dance floor, starting with John and Janelle’s first dance.
Janelle and her father dancing…
My absolute favorite… another dance shot of Janelle and John later in the night…
OK… these last two shots aren’t the best, but probably the funniest for me and Sarah. The guys grabbed us and twirled us around a few times on the dance floor. I was definitely a bit embarrassed. I’m not much of a dancer, especially when I’m not prepared. But it was super funny and I had to share the pictures.
John and Janelle… you two are beautiful and I’m so happy for you!! Congratulations!

Your colors are so vibrant and lively, great work.
Nice job with the lighting at night. I know first hand that it can be tricky. Great work.
You both are so beuatiful! What a joy to have been there. Patty
Fabulous, Danielle and Sharon. By coincidence I am currently reading Nora Roberts’ “Visions in White” and have a new found appreciation for the unique artistry of wedding photography. You really have some great moments in the slide show, and I’d love to see them all, and know which one J&J see as the “defining” moment. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but you really got a WOW! with the picture of “Janelle and her girls”. Thank you!
you took advantage of the lighting so perfectly it’s really amazing! great work!
