Vita & Jason // Agave of Sedona Wedding

September 23, 2021 by Leslie Allred in wedding

Vita and Jason came from New Jersey to get married in Sedona, and they brought their family and friends with them. They had the best energy, accents, and I laughed when their friends told me how terrible the pizza in Sedona was, although Vita thought it tasted delicious (hooray for everything being great on your wedding day). I loved Vita’s first look with her father. I also loved when Jason fed her cake, kind of like a parent feeds a toddler. She gave him quite the look for that. The dance party after dinner was one that will be hard to rival, and of course, the opening speech in this wedding film is one of my favorites ever. I love a good wedding speech. Congrats Jason and Vita. Full film above, preview below.

Amanda & Kenny // Red Agave Adventure Resort Wedding

June 23, 2021 by Leslie Allred in wedding

Amanda and Kenny’s wedding was a total blast. Her dad officiated and quoted Bob Marley; we went on a good 2 mile hike after the ceremony; their first dance was to this amazing song called All My Love by Stick Figure that I’ve been listening to daily ever since; their bridal party was an incredibly supportive, beautiful, and fun bunch.

Amanda was also one of the most humble people I’ve ever met. She’s going to serve and love people for the rest of her life- it’s clear. I often wish my brides lived in Flagstaff so they could become my new adventure buddies. So much love to these two! Full film above, preview below.

Alyssa & Zack L'Auberge de Sedona Wedding // Sedona & Flagstaff Wedding Videographer

April 21, 2021 by Leslie Allred in wedding

Alyssa and Zack had a beautiful micro wedding at L’Auberge de Sedona. They were married on the Spirit Song Terrace with a gorgeous reception near the creek. Every single detail—from the invitations to the place settings—was absolutely lovely.

Alyssa and Zack are high school sweethearts. They met in Spanish class (he was the class clown), were a little off and on, but then ON for good. They spent time apart while Zack served in the Air Force, which only made their love grow stronger. Both of their mothers gave lovely speeches, and their first dance against the stunning setting was absolutely beautiful. Also, I am in love with the sleeves of her gown. When I was in high school, I wore my mom’s high school graduation dress. It was white, knee length, and had bell sleeves. I loved that dress and am wondering where it is now…

So much love to Alyssa and Zack! Full film above, preview below.

Jennifer & David Snowy Sky Ranch Lodge Wedding // Sedona Wedding Videographer

April 14, 2021 by Leslie Allred in wedding

Where to begin with this wedding? We all knew it was likely going to snow on Jennifer and David’s wedding. The day predicted 80-90% chance of snow, 1-3 inches in Sedona. On my drive from Flagstaff to Sedona, it snowed the entire time, but wasn’t accumulating much. I didn’t feel too worried about it because I drive in snow all the time, and 1-3 inches isn’t that much for Flagstaff standards. I wasn’t stressed at all and was sure I’d be home with my family that night. Ha ha.

As soon as I arrived at Sky Ranch Lodge to film Jennifer getting ready, it started snowing a lot harder. Jennifer remained calm and was grateful Stevy Fletcher the photographer, and I were there. I think she kind of worried we wouldn’t show up because of the weather, which never crossed my mind! It snowed while she put on her dress and final details, but then suddenly stopped snowing. Then I saw a warning on my weather app that said “SNOW SQUALL WARNING.” I asked Stevy- what the heck is a snow squall?

As I started setting up my tripods for the ceremony and as the guests sat down, I suddenly understood what it was. We could see a white wall coming towards us from off the Mogollon Rim. The ceremony started with a few flurries but 10 minutes in, it started snowing HARD. They weren’t snow flakes but little hard balls of snow. The visibility went down between my cameras and Jennifer and David, it was snowing so much. The snow accumulated on David’s suit, and on my cameras. However, Jennifer and David smiled through it. The officiant asked if he should cut it short, and they both said, nope! What resulted was an unforgettable ceremony, and I learned that my cameras can take more snow than I thought. Thanks goodness.

There rest of the wedding went on without a hitch- thanks goodness for the large tent at the venue! However it kept snowing. Soon we learned that the 89 and I-17 were shut down, and as vendors, we were stranded in Sedona. Sky Ranch Lodge put Stevy, her second Taylor, and I in a room for free, which was so generous. Stevy even let me borrow a pair of sweats to sleep in, that saint! Huge congratulations to Jennifer and David, and huge props to them for loving their best day ever, come what may.

Sedona Golf Resort Wedding // Mindy + Dillon {Sedona & Flagstaff Wedding Videographer}

January 11, 2021 by Leslie Allred in wedding

Mindy and Dillon delayed their wedding at Sedona Golf Resort from the spring to the fall. As a result, restrictions on gatherings lifted a little (before they were tightened down again later in the fall), and they were able to have friends and family attend their wedding. They certainly made the most of it. The wedding party was probably one of the most enthusiastic I’ve ever worked with. I think everybody was tired of isolation and ready to party.

This wedding had so many wonderful parts. Both wrote letters to each other, and I loved seeing all the similarities in their two letters Both Mindy and Dillon exclaimed “it’s long!” about the other person’s letter. Dillon was sure he would cry when Mindy walked down the aisle and he totally did. Watch the wedding film or preview to see and hear this part.

Their ceremony threatened to be rainy, but the wedding gods held off the rain and even brought out a rainbow for part of the ceremony. It was still pretty windy, but at the end of the day, it didn’t matter.

The ceremony was followed by a romantic portrait session on one of the beautiful holes at Sedona Golf Resort. We all drove golf carts to the location and laughed like children the whole way. After, there was a fabulous entrance, complete with a a wedding party tunnel, speeches, first dances, cake cutting, killer dance party, and sparkler exit. I love my elopements, but wow, big weddings are so much fun. Congratulations Mindy and Dillon! Full film above, preview below.

Sedona Elopement // Becca + Mark {Sedona Wedding Videographer}

December 22, 2020 by Leslie Allred in wedding

Becca and Mark had the perfect micro wedding. About 15 people joined them for an incredible ceremony with breathtaking views of Cathedral Rock. Cydney from Canvas Weddings and Events set up the most elegant scene on the slick rock. There were florals, rugs, plushes, and a gorgeous wooden frame to compliment Cathedral. There were no tourists, but there was a live guitarist. It was beautiful. After, we headed back to the VRBO for a small reception with incredible Italian, dancing, and cake. Congratulations Becca and Mark!

L'Auberge de Sedona Wedding // Nychel + Keith {Sedona and Flagstaff Wedding Videographer}

November 06, 2020 by Leslie Allred in wedding

Nychel and Keith had their original wedding plans changed but rose above to create their own, intimate, incredible micro wedding. Their California venue cancelled their wedding, so they decided to come to L’Auberge de Sedona. And not kidding, they, like so many of my couples this year, said their wedding was better than they had planned in the first place.

One of the highlights for me was the music that was played during the procession. Nychel’s dad is a musician, and he loves the Beatles and would play “Michelle” for her, but sing it Nychel (because they rhyme:)). The violinist played a different Beatles song for each person that walked down, and of course, Michelle (or Nychel, ma belle) was one of them. Micro weddings can be the best of elopements and big weddings. Close family and friends are still there, yet it is intimate, romantic, and all your own. After the wedding, we drove to a few gorgeous Sedona settings and got the most romantic footage. Congratulations Nychel and Keith! Full film above, preview below.

Sky Ranch Lodge Wedding // Melissa and Sean {Sedona and Flagstaff Videographer}

October 26, 2020 by Leslie Allred in wedding

I loved this wedding. It helped me remember the joy of big weddings. There were a full 50 people there. Definitely the biggest wedding I’ve filmed since March. I must say, I have missed the dance parties.

Melissa was such a beautiful bride. That dress fit like it was made just for her. Melissa’s parents live in Sedona, and Melissa knew all about the fun Sedona things she wanted to include in her wedding. She and her bridesmaids rode the trolley over to Tlaquepaque to meet Sean and the guys for their first look. When he saw her, I remember him saying “hot wife!” Dang straigh. Tlaquepaque is such a fun place to film. I love that stone tunnel. The tricky part is dodging the tourists with my lens. You can’t remove them from footage like you can from photo. After filming the bridal party and grabbing some romantic shots, we headed over to Sky Ranch Lodge for the ceremony. Melissa’s sister was the officiant, and she did a fabulous job. Their vows were absolutely gorgeous and tender. For sunset, we headed to a beautiful red rock location, and then headed back to the venue for dancing and speeches. Doesn’t get better than that! Full film above, preview below.

Agave of Sedona Wedding // Jordan + Matt {Sedona and Flagstaff Wedding Videographer}

April 28, 2020 by Leslie Allred in wedding

Jordan and Matt were married at Agave of Sedona the weekend everything started to really shut down. Some of the guests were unable to travel to the wedding, but most were there. I made sure to wash my hands well before eating and refrained from touching my face, but other than that, things felt pretty normal. It’s interesting how looking back, it’s like we had no idea what was coming. One big clue though, was that the original photographer had to find replacement photographers last minute, because she had just returned from Spain and was self quarantining for 14 days (SO SMART of her, and her replacements were fabulous).

Little did I know then, this was my last wedding for a while and one of the final weddings at Agave of Sedona before the governor’s shelter in place orders. My calendar was booked almost every weekend through April and I was gearing up to have my busiest spring ever, but since then every single shoot has been rescheduled or cancelled. In all honesty though, I am doing fine, and I really feel so sad for the couples out there who have had to cancel, reschedule, and shift their wedding vision.

I am so happy that Jordan and Matt unknowingly squeezed in their wedding before things got really crazy. Their wedding was beautiful, and they were surrounded by so much love. Their bridesmaids and groomsmen gave some of the best speeches I’ve heard, and it was a privilege to be there! Just typing about this has me missing capturing human nature in some of its finest forms. Congratulations Jordan and Matt and I hope you’re enjoying your quarantined honeymoon stage.

Sedona Golf Resort Wedding // Ashley and Andrew

April 08, 2020 by Leslie Allred in wedding

Ashley and Andrew were married on one of the rainiest days in the last two years. It wasn’t sprinkling but was pouring all morning and early afternoon. It was even snowing in Flagstaff. The wedding was still set to go on, so I brought my husband to be my umbrella holder. Even as I set up my tripods for the ceremony, it was still raining. And then, a wedding miracle took place. The rain stopped, and the sun came out. When Ashley came out to walk down the aisle, she was so surprised by the sunshine, she cried. The rain held off for a good 2 hours, and by the time we were back inside for dinner and toasts, the rain started again. I was so happy for them, and, as an added bonus, the clouds over the red rock were absolutely stunning.

This was my first wedding at Sedona Golf Resort, and I can’t wait to go back.

L'Auberge de Sedona Wedding//Jay + Brandon {Sedona Wedding Videographer}

March 30, 2020 by Leslie Allred in wedding

Jay and Brandon were such a lovely couple. I met Brandon about an hour before the ceremony, and the first thing I noticed was his huge smile, and he wore that smile all day. He was obviously esctatic to be marrying Jay, and it was adorable. Soon after meeting Jay, we did a first look with her dad. She wrote him a letter, which he read aloud. It was so tender and made me cry. This family loves each other.

They were married up at the Spirit Song terrace and the reception that followed was fantastic. So much live music. Her good friend sang during cocktail hour and during the dance with her dad. She was competition for Adele. And Lucky Devils Band played the rest of the reception. I absolutely love shooting with the Lucky Devils Band. Live music brings the best vibes to weddings.

Congrats to this beautiful couple, and I recently heard they will be a party of 3 come fall. My heart is bursting!!

Colleen and Travis L'Auberge de Sedona Wedding Film {Sedona Wedding Videographer}

October 21, 2019 by Leslie Allred in wedding

Sedona has an incredible pull. I’ve talked to couples from all over the country who fall completely in love with Sedona on a vacation, and then can’t get it out of their head when it comes to planning their wedding. Colleen and Travis came from Michigan to get married against the red rocks. I met with them back in the spring at a small coffee shop in Flagstaff. They had been hiking and seeing the sights and meeting their vendors. They too had a history with Sedona. Sedona is a perfect place to get married. There are beautiful venues with all the necessities to endless quiet spots for elopements. There are incredibly talented hair and makeup artists, bakers, florists, DJS, photographers, caterers, etc. It has it all.

Ok, back to Travis and Colleen. They were married at the lovely L’Auberge de Sedona. L’Auberge is a dream. Colleen and Travis had their first look on the grounds right along Oak Creek. That spot makes you feel like you’re out in nature, not at a resort. Their ceremony was on the Spirit Song terrace. The views up there are ridiculous. The reception that followed was one of the most fun I’ve ever filmed. SKM Entertainment kept the party going the entire time. One of my favorite moments was watching all of C and T’s family and friends rock out to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’”. People from Michigan love that song even more than the rest of us!!

I also loved Colleen’s sparkly white Ked’s for the dance floor, and her rockin jean jacket. Basically I loved it all and left L’Auberge de Sedona at 11 pm smiling big. 10 minutes up the canyon, I realized I forgot one of my lights, so I flipped around and got it, and still drove home happy. Congrats to this wonderful couple!

Stephanie and Evan Moab Golf Course Wedding {Sedona Wedding Videographer}

August 08, 2019 by Leslie Allred in wedding

I always love the opportunity to go back to Moab, Utah. I lived there for 9 years, and while I am loving Flagstaff, I will forever love the people in Moab, the Colorado River, and the incredible vistas everywhere you look. I also love to shoot with the talented Angela Hays Photography and sneaking in mountain bike rides before the wedding.

The wedding took place at the Moab Golf Course on a hole tucked far far away against the cliffs in the shade of a huge cottonwood. It was probably a good mile from the club house, so all the guests, and Angela and I, got to take a golf cart to the site. Work perks.

The reception was then at the lovely Sunset Grill, which gives incredible views of the city and the Moab Rim. Congratulations Stephanie and Evan!

Amanda + Dallas Horseshoe Bend Elopement {Sedona and Flagstaff Wedding Videographer}

May 07, 2019 by Leslie Allred in wedding

The last time I visited Horseshoe Bend was in 2006. Back in the old days, you had to know exactly where to pull off the road. I always remembered it was the pullout after the bridge that goes over a slot canyon. There was no sign, no pavement, and no people. Now, this place is unmistakeable. The parking lot is huge and there are a gazillion outhouses lining the parking lot. They are actually in the process of making the parking lot bigger and when we were there, we had to park in a lot a few miles away and take a shuttle over, because the parking lot was closed. When we arrived, there were hundreds of people from all around the world, and I was a bit shocked. HOWEVER, this place is still just as gorgeous as I remembered. The view of the Colorado river below is so beautiful, and the cliffs are dramatic and intense. It was just a tad noisier than I remembered.

Dallas and Amanda were hardcore. They flew to Vegas from Indiana for a few days to themselves. Then their children and family met them in Las Vegas. They got up early, got ready, and rode in a hired shuttle van all the way to Horseshoe Bend. This is a long way- like over 5 hours!!! Then they met Erika Greene, an incredible photographer, and Jen Paul, the most lovely officiant, and myself. We rode over to Horseshoe Bend, walked the short uphill trail to the view, found a secluded little spot, and a beautiful ceremony took place. They have quite the love story. Dallas and Amanda both had sons on the same football team, and with a little help form mutual friends (whom came to the wedding), they started dating and fell in love. After the kiss, I heard one of the boys say “brothers!”. I love watching families come together. We celebrated on the edge, got some incredible shots, hiked back down the trail, and soon they were off in their van all the way back to Vegas. A few days later, they celebrated with a reception back in Indiana and showed this film. Congratulations Dallas and Amanda!

Michelle and Josh L'Auberge de Sedona Wedding {Sedona Wedding Videographer}

January 24, 2019 by Leslie Allred in wedding

I know I say this a lot, but seriously, I will never forget Josh and Michelle’s wedding. Watch this film (full version above, preview below) and your heart will be full of love, peace, and hope. This world is crazy and stressful, but good people are finding love and real fairytales happen.. Michelle has two children, and the vows Josh gave to the children, and the words the children spoke to Josh were so loving and joyous. It was clear that this wasn’t just two people coming together, but an entire family, with all four people loving each other tremendously. I am so happy for them and am excited I can follow their lives on Instagram, because all four of them are going great places.

The wedding was at L’Auberge de Sedona right along Oak Creek. It was such a lovely and intimate setting. L’Auberge is a fabulous venue. There are multiple ceremony and reception locations and they are all so classy. I absolutely loved working with Katrina at Sedona Bride Photographers, and Bliss Extraordinary Floral did another fantastic job. Also, Patricia Vega did the hair and makeup, and it’s obvious she’s amazing. Also, Dan Vega played guitar, and his cover of Perfect was insanely sweet. I am loving the wedding industry in Sedona. There is so much talent and kindness. The staff at L’Auberge even forgave me for losing my valet ticket… My first 2019 wedding is in a few weeks, and I can’t wait.
