Moab Whispering Oaks Wedding // Delane & James

Delane and James came from North Carolina to get married in Moab, Utah. They had planned to get married in Arches National Park, but if you’ve been to Moab in the last few years, you know how incredibly packed it can get. The day before their wedding, Arches reached max capacity during the day and the NPS was restricting entry. Last minute changes were made and permits acquired, and instead of getting married in the national park, they were married at an equally beautiful spot on BLM land.

One unforgettable moment from this wedding was the cake cutting. Right after they put the slice on the plate, Delane grabbed a handful and smashed the cake in his face (see pic below). It was a bit shocking and hilarious.

I also loved watching the kids dance with their dad and new step mom. It’s a beautiful thing when families are blended. So much love to you, Delane and James!

Cammy and Trevor Whispering Oaks Ranch Moab Wedding {Flagstaff and Sedona Wedding videographer}

Trevor and Cammy were married at Whispering Oaks Ranch, located in the beautiful La Sal mountains above Moab, Utah. I’ve shot at this location many times, and it’s always a wonderful getaway from the scorching summer temps of Moab.

Trevor and Cammy met in high school and even went to a dance together, but didn’t truly find each other until college. The speeches at their wedding were fantastic. Cammy’s father, sister, and best friend spoke, along with Trevor’s best friend. All of them said meaningful, sweet things, and it really reaffirmed in my mind that wedding toasts provide some of the most intimate, tender moments. I firmly believe that we need to express our love, admiration, and support to our favorite people as often as we can, and a wedding is a great opportunity to do this. I realize it’s scary, but usually some of the best moments first have to put us out of our comfort zones.

Another great moment from this wedding was running into one of my previous brides and meeting her two babies!!

Congratulations Trevor and Cammy! Your love for each other is obvious and genuine, and I can’t wait to see what you do together. Preview above, full film below.

Vicky and Nico Whispering Oaks Wedding {Sedona Wedding Videographer}

Vicky is a photographer and Nico customizes jeeps . They road tripped their jeep all the way from MIAMI and traded white sand beaches for mountains and red rock. I followed their Instagram as they made their journey. They camped on the beaches of Lake Powell, traveled the 66, and checked off National Parks. Their family and friends soon followed, some driving their jeeps too, others flying, mostly all from Miami, some from overseas. They had a beautiful wedding at Whispering Oaks. The reception was full of some of the best salsa dancing I’ve ever seen at a reception. The next day, we met up at Canyonlands to get footage in the red rocks and watch the sunset. I love day after sessions. Everyone is relaxed and the schedule doesn’t feel so tight. Thank you for trusting me to capture your incredible wedding.

Darian and Tanner's Moab Mountain Wedding {Sedona wedding videographer}

Darian and Tanner’s wedding was FUN. I noticed immediately that these two are incredibly likable and people LOVE them. Their bridesmaids and groomsmen were obviously close and were laughing, happy crying, and dancing the entire time. It was also clear that they were all 100% in support of this marriage, and that D&T care deeply for their friends. I watched Darian finish doing a friend’s hair (on her wedding day, a first!) and I watched Tanner help a friend get dressed. This couple looks out and cares for their people. I also loved that during the procession, every single groomsmen gave Tanner a massive hug. I also loved watching the couple with their own siblings and parents. There was a whole lotta of love, between a huge group of people, and that is special.

Heather + Anthony, Whispering Oaks Ranch Wedding {Flagstaff and Sedona Wedding Videographer}

Heather and Anthony climb, raft, and hike, with their sweet son in tow.  They are my kind of people!  Don't stop doing what you love because you have kids, just alter it a little! I am so glad I met this couple.  Immediately I thought to myself- we would probably hang out often if we lived in the same city.

Heather and Anthony's day was full of joy and laughter.  I could tell they were genuinely loving their wedding day. I found out Anthony has a secret skill of juggling pinecones.  And Heather- she is tough.  She lived in a tent for several months, pregnant.  Yesss.  

And to match the beautiful day, the La Sal mountains had recently received a spring snow storm, and they were absolutely stunning!  Now, over a month later- this is hardly a patch of snow left up there.  Congratulations Heather and Anthony!
