Crista + John | Oak Creek Sedona Elopement

It is the biggest joy for me to meet new people and get to know them, but sometimes there’s nothing more amazing than getting to capture the love story of someone you know and love dearly. Crista is a dear friend of my sisters who I have grown to love as well, and I was incredibly honored to photograph her intimate, heartfelt wedding to her soulmate, John. 

Crista and John got married against the stunningly beautiful landscapes of Sedona, Arizona, with just a few people there. It was genuine, touching, and authentic. Sometimes, the wedding industry wants us to get caught up in lavish, extravagant celebrations but honestly, the simple & heartfelt ones are the most beautiful to me.

Crista is an incredibly devoted mother to her son, Gavin, and John’s love for Gavin is evident as well. In fact, John asked Gavin before he proposed to Crista, and during the ceremony, he made promises to Gavin as well. Are you tearing up? Cause I definitely am.

Crista and John, your wedding was stunningly beautiful and I was so honored to be a part of it. I can’t wait to watch you both grow in your marriage and to see Gavin flourish in a household with so much love in it. I love you both! Congratulations!
