Basia and Stacy ~ Roman Holiday
Basia and Stacy were married at Tlaquepaque in Sedona on June 2, 2008. It was a small and intimate wedding, with just close friends and family, and came off beautifully; not a detail left undone!
Basia and Stacy's style reminded us so much of the 1953 Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck classic Roman Holiday. Not only were Basia and Stacy's fashion sense, hair styles, and smiles, of that era, but their general demeanor and approach to everything, especially each other, was so classy and romantic! They even toasted each other at the reception with fabulous classical Waterford crystal champagne flutes, reminiscent of 1950's Italy. We couldn't resist the parallel :)
They were so fun to work with, too! They LOVE photography, and they are madly in love with each other, which always makes our job so easy!
Basia is an incredibly creative and talented person... she knew what she could handle and left the rest to professionals. She designed and put together all her beautiful floral decor, and made her gorgeous custom invitations.
And because we got together the day after their wedding for a more extensive shoot, Basia and Stacy were able to spend more time with their guests on the wedding day. Basia also got to try two different hairstyles and used it as a great excuse to have two different pairs of shoes :)
The preparation for the girls took place at one of our favorite bed and breakfasts in Sedona, El Portal. It's absolutely beautiful and the Governor's Suite has great lighting for make up and preparation images. It's just a 2 minute walk to Tlaquepaque. Two of our favorite locations to shoot weddings in Sedona!
Patricia Vega did an amazing job on the girls hair and makeup. Bobby at Sedona Sounds made sure everyone was having fun on the dance floor. Cucina Rustica had some amazing food prepared for the night. And last but not least, Sedona wedding planner Karen Lynn did a great job making sure the day went smoothly.
Congratulations Basia and Stacy!! It was a beautiful day and we're so happy for you both! Thank you for letting us be a part of your family for two days!

I love that the girls are practicing dancing in the back ground as Basia gets her dress on... and again this is at the gorgeous bed and breakfast El Portal.
Here is Basia looking like she should be in a fashion spread. I love the classic and elegant look she put together for herself and her whole wedding.
Below is the wedding invitation she made! I'll do a full post with images of just the wedding invitations another day.
My favorite shot of the day... I just love the mood to this image...
Some more details ... can you believe how beautiful her bouquet is... she put it together the day before the wedding! Something I would definitely not suggest unless you used to be a florist... which she was.
This is another favorite of ours because it's a purely candid shot of the grandmother and her grandchildren. These kinds of images just get more meaningful as the years pass.
We just thought it was so cute that they were crying at the same time...
Basia's aunt is a professional costume designer so she helped Basia find the perfect dress and also made the most fabulous bustle I've ever seen. She put in dozens of pins to do this gorgeous bustle.
I think this shot is so romantic...
The reception took place in the Patio De Las Companas at Tlaquepaque... it's truly a beautiful venue...
And lastly, a couple of images from their day after session, which reminded us of the cute scene where Audrey is riding on the back of Gregory Peck's wimpy ( but cool!) little Vespa scooter, clutching onto him for dear life... :)
We hope you enjoyed the images!!
Blessings!

Dear Katrina and Andrew,
Stacy and I could not be any more happy with the images. They are gorgeous! I love the lighting, the details, the candid shots, and most of all - it was so wonderful to work with you. You both are not only professionals in your field (and I will say with certainty here - you guys are THE BEST), but you are also a warmhearted, kind, and very giving people. All the family and guest mentioned to us after the wedding how nice you were, and what amazing conversations they had with you. I'm just so glad that I could meet such a wonderful people as you. Thank you for excellent photos, thank you for being so patient with us on the wedding day, and most of all...thank you for being who you are. God bless you!
Respectfully,
Basia and Stacy
Beautiful shots! I LOVE the closeup of the couple dancing. And the light as she is walking down the hallway, simply stunning!
Basia and Stacy! Thank you so much for leaving such kind comments!! We're so happy that you love the images! You two have such fabulous family and friends so the feeling is mutual. We loved spending the day with you all! And really who couldn't take beautiful images of you two that day? You both were glowing and such a gorgeous couple! We look forward to producing your album and of course keeping in touch with you both! oxox - katrina + andrew
Hey there other Katrina!! :) Those are my two favorite shots too.. I've been using my prime lenses a lot and loving it. I think those are both shot on my prime lenses. Maybe my 85 1.2? :) - katrina
I'd never seen the movie Roman Holiday but I was at a drug store the other night, saw it for sale and I bought it. I watched half of it and am looking so forward to seeing the rest of it. Thanks you guys! I bought the movie cuz of remembering you refering to it here and I am glad I did, Audrey Hepburn is so cute, Gregory Peck is so handsome and it's so interesting to see how things were back then, back in the 1950s.
and i love these photos you took, they're gorgeous. :-)
