Laura & Rodrigo were gems of clients this past year. With crazy professional schedules and their proclivity for travel, their destination wedding planning process was punctuated with long pauses and an understood need to trust her vendors implicitly. As travel photographers, Makayla & I are familiar with the strain -- the sense of "I'm not fully in control." There is an inherent unpredictability in destination weddings and nerves that come with it. We aim to be a salve to that anxiety and are thrilled to work alongside vendors that take that similar stance.

The morning of their wedding Laura & Rodrigo treated their wedding guests to the infamous Pink Jeep Tours in Sedona. Megan, Makayla & I split up into different guests' jeeps and caught a few slices of thrill, antics and a few screams to top it off.
Guests returned to the L'Auberge and started the primping process.
The prelude time before the ceremony was ripe with anticipation. The way Rodrigo was visibly nervous but composed was heart-warming.
“We are excited to bring our families & friends together in such a beautiful area. I cant wait to see him standing in front of everyone and have our moment when we first see each other. I just tear up thinking about it...Top priority for our photographer is to capture those moments for us so we can have them always. - Laura, Bride”
and as they paused their prelude to grab an intimate, secluded first moment together...the day eased, rodrigo relaxed as his eyes sparkled looking his bride up and down. that moment was crazy beautiful...
L & R parted ways and the media team made their way up to the top of L'Auberge's prime outlook spot where the red rock stood proudly in the distance. Design elements and classy metallic nuances merged the natural aesthetic with a modern sheen. Guests sprinkled in and the ceremony began with a deep breath. From that first look down the aisle to the vows to the kiss, guests and vendors alike felt the undercurrent of gratitude and respect the couple had for each other.
The remainder of the evening was filled with delicious food accented with attention to detail and the sweet affection and hospitality of the bride and groom.
