Sedona & Flagstaff, AZ Video
WEDDING, COMMERCIAL, and LIFESTYLE FILMMAKER. SERVING NORTHERN ARIZONA AND BEYOND.
I had the opportunity to create a recruitment video for Northern Arizona Panhellenic sororities for Fall 2022 recruitment. We filmed all around NAU campus and interviewed each chapter. The women were professional, intelligent, and passionate about what they have accomplished within their chapter. Full recruitment video above, social media cut below.
Shelby and Brandon are a total power couple. Both are police officers, adventurers, and gym enthusiasts. Their wedding was at the Sedona Golf Resort. I love this venue for it’s convenient, less busy location. We were able to sneak away to the hole farthest from everything for some privacy and beautiful views. Don’t miss when he handcuffs her for the garter toss. Don’t worry it’s still PG. Preview above, full film below.
Kelsey said in an IG post that if all the wedding details fell apart, she would still be happy because all she wanted was to marry Riley. I 100% believe her. The positive energy at this wedding was off the charts. Multiple times throughout the day I caught her looking at her new husband with happy tears in her eyes.
I loved having the opportunity to travel to Oracle, AZ to film this wedding. The 3C Ranch was a great venue. There were 2 large ranch houses for family to stay in, and then plenty of space for more friends and family to park their RVs. The wedding turned into a real getaway for everybody. Cell service was even spotty so everyone was truly present. So much love to this couple! Full film above, preview below.
Faye and Keshav traveled to Sedona from NYC for their incredible wedding at Amara Resort. The wedding was a beautiful blending of family, culture, tradition and love. One of my favorite things about weddings is witnessing the outpouring of love and support from family and friends. Showing up with unconditional love is one of the best things we can do.

Emily and Jordan were married at Sedona Golf Resort on a beautiful spring day. They were surrounded by friends and family and there was so much love supporting them. The toasts were especially sweet at this wedding. Jordan’s brother Brett made me cry at the wedding, and then I cried again as I was editing. Full film above, preview below.
Rachel and Bob got lucky with the snow on the red rocks. It never sticks around Sedona for long, so they hit the jackpot. To kick off their wedding day together, we started with a first look and portraits at Tlaquepaque and then headed over to Agave of Sedona. I loved their love story- the two met playing kickball. Rachel kicked and as she was running to base, she tripped over her feet and totally wiped out. She got up and laughed and kept going, and Bob found this entire thing completely endearing and immediately wanted to know more. Proof that often we aren’t attracted perfection, but to humility and humanity. Film above, preview below.
Alyssa and Dustin were my first wedding of 2022! They had postponed and changed location due to COVID and decided to travel all the way across the country to Sedona. I’m pretty sure they planned the whole thing in a matter of weeks and it went off without a hitch. They were married at classy L’Auberge de Sedona up on the Spirit Song terrace, followed by a beautiful reception along the creek. Film above, preview below.
Amanda and Paul’s wedding was my last for 2021. Amanda’s details were absolutely incredible. From her flower crown to the donuts, to the largest tent I’ve ever seen at a wedding (by far) and the gorgeous flowers climbing up the post that supported the tent. A highlight of the wedding was watching Amanda put on her flower crown for the first time and seeing her face light up as her wedding dreams came true.
Paul and Amanda had to delay their Sedona wedding for almost a year due to COVID. They did get married on their original date in an intimate ceremony with family back on the other side of the country. Their Sedona wedding celebration was just a year shy of their anniversary, and I believe it was also Amanda’s birthday! This was a great way to end my 2021 wedding season!

If you scroll down, you will see Raquel and Jarrod’s Grand Canyon elopement. Two weeks later, they went to Sedona and celebrated with family and friends (and kitty!) at Sky Ranch Lodge. I love that this couple wanted both the elopement and big wedding experience, and they made it happen! Their celebration was made complete with a mosh pit (Raquel’s idea, and a first for me to see at a wedding. I also loved the opportunity to really get to know Raquel and Jarrod, as they just radiant joy and kindness. Full film above, preview below.
Lindsey and Duane came from Tennessee to elope in a remote location in Sedona, AZ. It was Veteran’s Day, which was lovely as Lindsey is a veteran. The two actually met in high school- Duane was the cute guy that she always wished about. Life took them in different directions for many years, and when they needed each other the most, fate brought them back into each other’s lives. Full film above, preview below.
Sarah and Jordan had a micro wedding under the ponderosa pine trees overlooking beautiful, craggy, wilderness. It’s a journey outside of Flagstaff, AZ to reach this spot, but the effort comes with great reward.
One thing I will never forget about this wedding was the desire Sarah and Jordan had to be surrounded by their loved ones as they kissed for the first time as husband and wife. The photo above is their actual first kiss after they were pronounced man and wife. I had never seen this at ceremony, and it was unforgettable.
Jordan and Sarah are both piano players and met by playing piano at their church. He would help her with keyboard setup on the days he wasn’t playing. Eventually she asked if he could come over and help with her guitar. Real love stories like this are the most wonderful reminder that life is beautiful.
The day after Halloween (November 1st), I woke up at 3 AM to drive to the south rim to film Raquel and Jarrod’s sunrise elopement at the Grand Canyon. After swerving to miss a huge elk on the 70, I successfully made it to the historical Bucky O’Neill cabin where Raquel and Jarrod snagged a reservation. The Bucky O’Neill cabin was built in 1890 and I was geeking out at the opportunity to film there.
While Jarrod and Raquel were dating they spent an unforgivable evening on the edge of the Grand Canyon that helped form their connection to each other and to nature. The Grand Canyon also brings me incredible peace and connection, and I was so emotional to watch them elope under pink clouds as the sun came up. The energy there is undeniable.
A few weeks after their elopement, Raquel and Jarrod had a wedding in Sedona at Sky Ranch Lodge. Stay tuned for more! Full film above, preview below.
Amber and Alex eloped along the creek at L’Auberge de Sedona. It was an incredibly beautiful ceremony with just the photographer, officiant and I, and a lone fly fisherman in the distance. Their full elopement film will be kept private.
Ashley and Darick had the final 2021 wedding at Aldea Weddings in the Woods. It was a beautiful, crisp day, and the oaks were still showing off their fall covers. This Flagstaff, AZ venue has a beautiful ceremony location nestled under the ponderosas, a large, covered outdoor dining area, and a fabulous deck for a dance floor. I hope to film here more!
During the ceremony and speeches, there was debate about who was going after who throughout high school and the years that followed. I realized this was all a great sign, as it showed that both were a bit obsessed with the other, and neither were afraid to go big to get what they wanted. I also loved hearing about Darick’s camping trips with the guys, and that all the guys 100% love when Ashely comes along, because she makes the trip better. Seeing a community of friends and family rally behind a couple is one of my favorite things about weddings. Full film above, preview below.
858 days. That’s how long Julia and Tyler had to wait to get married. Julia and Tyler were radiating joy the entire day. I seriously felt like I was filming Julia as she experienced her dreams coming true. From her first look with her dad to soaking in the sunset at airpot vortex with Tyler, she loved it all. I am so happy for this sweet couple. They are ready to conquer the world as man and wife. Full film above, preview below.
