SEDONA BRIDE PHOTOGRAPHY
Sedona Bride Photography is known for their quality, style and ability to capture a moment in time that many of us never really see. It is a real talent to capture the emotion of the moment and turn it into art. Andrew Mejia of Sedona Bride does just that. Watch a lovely slideshow of his work here: Often Andrew is the, all so important, second shooter for the husband and wife team Sedona Bride Photography. But Andrew is just as likely to be the primary shooter at smaller weddings as well. The scope of a wedding has no bearing on the quality of photography coming from Sedona Bride Photography. Andrew is just as concerned about a bride’s elopement or her lavish affair. He understands that every wedding is someone’s special day and he makes sure it is beautifully captured forever.
Andrew has a gift for seeing detail, as well as overall documentation. Many of the outstanding images coming from Sedona Bride Photography are Andrew’s. He wallows in the grass, balances on rocks, climbs up hills, tip toes and squats but always gets his shot. So many of the images of grooms and groomsmen getting ready are Andrew’s images. While Katrina may be shooting the bride and groom at special moments during the ceremony, Andrew is shooting the guests and those all-so-sweet teary eyes. It takes two great photographers to capture all the moments and that is exactly why Sedona Bride is so great.
Show Stopper’s loves Sedona Bride because they totally get how to shoot flowers and decor. Andrew makes sure the lighting is perfect while Katrina gets the shot. We all have learned so much from each other and can second guess what needs to be done to get the images. They have learned to think like decorators and we have learned to think like photographers. It works.
Andrew is doing many of the packages offered by resorts and hotels. His reputation is growing fast because of his quality and charming personality. He is being seen more and more at L’Auberge, Tlaquepaque and other major wedding destinations. His packages are outstanding. Brides still receive that oh-so-important post production detail which is so tedious and time consuming. Many laymen think that images are taken and just returned on a disc. Unfortunately, in many cases that it true. The exceptional images, however, are always achieved through thoughtful consideration during the post production phase.
It’s all Sedona Bride Photography. It’s all Katrina and Andrew. Sedona Bride is simply a terrific choice and brides are never disappointed. We are true fans.

Events By Show Stoppers has made another magazine cover! This absolutely gorgeous image of the charming Chapel at Tlaquepaque was taken by Sedona’s own Katrina Wallace of SedonaBride.Com and will be published on the cover of Arizona’s Finest Wedding Sites and Services September issue!
The magazine is one of Arizona’s most comprehensive sources for brides planning their weddings anywhere in the state. Show Stoppers designed another one of our popular rose petal carpets for the aisle. Old rusted candelabra, wax luminaries, tons of candles and a fabulous old alter piece were used in the shoot. Terra cotta cherubs holding cornucopias filled with autumn flowers flank the sides of the alter.
The Chapel at Tlaquepaque is one of Show Stoppers very favorite ceremony sites. Show Stoppers can provide service or brides can use Show Stoppers second store, Nectar Designs, to provide flowers. Nectar Design is located at Tlaquepaque in Suite A. 114. Nectar offers discounted packages exclusively for Tlaquepaque brides and is Tlaquepaque’s “in house” floral service. Visit Nectar Designs here: Nectar Designs: 928-203-4749 / Tlaquepaque Chapel: 928-282-4838 / Show Stoppers: 928-203-9096

It is obvious by the quality of their photographs that Katrina Wallace and Andrew Mejia are two of the most talented photographers on the scene today. I am not just talking about weddings in Sedona. They have established a national reputation are are quickly being recognized as one of the best in the field of fine art photography. There are so many images of their work on Eventsbyshowstoppers.com that you can easily see that Katrina and Andrew are among our very favorite photographers. You really need to visit them at Sedonabride.com. When you are there, take your time and look at everything. You will quickly get in touch with why so many brides would have no one else photograph their Sedona wedding. It’s a sensational body of work.
We can’t put it into words exactly, but we can just tell when we are looking at one of their images. It’s something that has to do with being sensitive to what is going on around them, whether it is picking up on something that is being said, anticipating something that is about to happen or something that goes unseen by ordinary eyes in all the excitement. They pursue emotion and capture it at just the right time. They are prepared for subtle changes in light and any unanticipated moment that makes every wedding unique. Whatever it is, they have the touch and the talent. They are uncompromising when it come to their art. And, they have the attention of their peers.
If you are lucky enough to commission Katrina and Andrew, you are going to be in for one big thrill when you see the images of your Sedona wedding. They travel too. Ken and I cannot say enough about them. But, we don’t really need to. All one needs to do is look at their photography. We are lucky to have such talent right here in Sedona. Thank you Katrina and Andrew for all you do and for who you are. All of us at Show Stoppers are huge fans.

Every time we see Cameron’s work we are amazed with her talent and her distinctive style. We first met Cameron when she asked Show Stoppers to provide floral and decor for her lovely wedding at the base of the San Francisco peaks in Flagstaff. Since then, we have had the pleasure of working with Cameron on many weddings in Sedona as well as Flagstaff.
Cameron just opened a lovely boutique photography studio with her friend, Jamelle Kelly. Their work can be viewed in person at their studio and gallery in downtown Flagstaff right off Heritage Square. There is lots of information and tons of photos on their blog and website, Cameronkellystudio.com. There are also several more Show Stoppers weddings you will enjoy seeing.
After viewing Cameron’s work, you can really get a feel for how she captures images normally overlooked by ordinary eyes. She has the ability to get those unexpected shots when special things happen that make every wedding unique.
Cameron is a true artist and we always look forward to working with her, whether in Flagstaff or Sedona. Be sure to look for many of her photos in our wedding galleries. One of our favorite images appears in the frame with changing photos on our home page. It is the one with the bride and groom under the lantern.
If you are looking for exceptional photography, be sure to consider Cameron. She travels and can help you with your dream wedding no matter where it is.
