a gorgeous mingus mountain wedding…j’lynn mak | arizona lifestyle wedding photographer

Above Jerome there is a spot at the very top of Mingus mountain that overlooks the entire Verde Valley. From here the views of Cottonwood, Sedona, Flagstaff and beyond will leave you simply breathless.
This is the spot Tim and Bridget chose to start their new life together.
I was so excited when Bridget contacted me about their upcoming wedding. A wedding on Halloween with the only white coming from the glow of the full moon above us. Excited does not really cover it!!
This was the most gorgeous non-traditional wedding I have ever seen! Bridget’s stunning iridescent gown, her lovely daughters in their crimson gowns, the beautiful black orchids, and the little ring bearer with the Mohawk all set in the middle of the forest was breathtaking.
The love Tim and Bridget share, and the way they incorporated the two little girls into every part of this day was beautiful. I thank you for choosing me to be a part of your special day, and wish you all a long and happy life!!
Enjoy your sneak peek!!

I had the pleasure of shooting Ben and Sarah’s engagements last week. They were in town visiting family before heading back to their duty station on the east coast, where they both serve in the United States Navy.
There is so much love between these two it was lovely to watch them together along with Sarah’s beautiful daughter.
I cannot tell you how excited I am to be shooting their wedding next summer!!
I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!

Finally more from the gorgeous wedding in Flagstaff two weeks ago. I was so honored to be able to second shoot for fellow photographer & friend Jennifer Fauset. Jen is an amazing photographer from Salt Lake City, Utah. Check out her site for more shots from this wedding @ Fauset Photography.
The wedding was held at the Church of the Nativity in downtown Flagstaff, which offered a beautiful backdrop for Guin & Jeff’s special day. We then had a quick stop at NAU for some more shots before heading to the reception at Thornagers on Kilte Lane.
I realized something about myself at this wedding…as toasts were being given by the maid of honor, and the best man I found my camera hanging low around my neck and tears in my eyes. I hadn’t even realized that I was so moved by these beautiful toasts that I had failed to take one photo in the last ten minutes. I looked over to see Jen shooting away, it was at this point I realized what a newbie I am!

Last week I went down to the valley to photograph the Gibson family. Recently the Gibson’s cousin surprised them, and sent a nomination to Giving Back Photography for the family to receive a free photo session. A fellow photographer friend contacted me, and asked if I was close to Scottsdale. This is how I found out about Giving Back Photography, the Gibson’s & their critically ill daughter… Cloey. I was so excited to be a part of this, to be able to give this family a few memories to hang on their walls…Of Cloey, Cal & Lainey. You see Cloey was born with a very rare genetic disorder that affects every system in her body……but it has not touched her beautiful smile, her spirit or her ability to make everyone around her feel her love. I count myself blessed just to have been near this beautiful family. Cal is so funny always making his family (and me) laugh. Lainey is so shy that I had to chase her to capture that adorable smile.
Megan & Ty your love for your family was a beautiful thing to see, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
To learn more about Cloey visit her blog @ http://princesscloey.blogspot.com/
I love this first shot! I had asked Cloey what color her beautiful hair was. She stopped and thought, then tried to look.
Her answer………..CURLY!!
