SHANNON AND MICHAEL { WEDDING IN SEDONA } TLAQUEPAQUE
Gorgeous floral by Events by Show Stoppers… we loved the bright and vibrant colors which completely matched Shannon’s personality… Shannon also bought each bridesmaid a personalized gift, a flask with a graphic which fit each friend’s personality. we thought that was such a sweet touch.
Shannon and Michael created their own invitations on a special hand-made printing machine and Michael bought each of his groomsmen cufflinks made from old typewriter keys. we LOVE that!
some gorgeous turquoise jewelry from
Hoel’s Indian Shop and a sentimental button and sixpence for luck…
The beautiful bride!! Her preparation was in a room at our absolute favorite
El Portal… the governor’s suite there is the prefect preparation room because the room is large and has great window light…
Shannon had all her bridesmaids wear different colored shoes and the groomsmen wear different colored pocket squares for their suits.
Events By Show Stoppers are really well known for their gorgeous flower petal carpets… Shannon and Michael were lucky to have a gorgeous one at her wedding … all the color helped brighten up the cloudy day.
Shannon’s brother,
Daniel Watters, is a wonderful musician and he preformed for the ceremony…
Shannon and Michael commissioned us for a “day after” session the following day so they could get to their guests quickly, and also so they could take advantage of better light earlier in the day. We still captured a few lovely night shots before heading to the reception … check back in for some gorgeous images from their day after session! It’s at one of our favorite places to shoot up in Oak Creek Canyon…
Shannon has the best maid of honor anyone could ask for … she actually flew in the lead singer,
Joe Hedges, of
July for Kings, their favorite band, as a surprise to play their first dance song and a short set of other songs … it was the ultimate best maid of honor gift we’ve seen. Everyone had a fabulous time in the
Tlaquepaque Balloom, La Sala de los Milagros.

Show Stoppers Decorates Tlaquepaque for
Annual Day of The Dead Celebration
Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is quickly becoming America’s newest holiday. This fun holiday celebrates the lives of the dearly departed.
Loved ones create alters called ofrendas and honor their deceased loved ones by displaying their photos, favorite foods, objects and possessions that they enjoyed in life. Even the lives of our furry friends are celebrated with thier favorite toys, treats and photos.
The holiday occurs on November 1st when it is believed that the deceased come back to visit their loved ones. Various Katrina’s, playful skeleton people made of paper mache, wood or ceramics, decorate homes and doorways along with flowers, candy and lots of candles. Traditional flowers include orange marigolds, white fever few, red cockscomb, roses and purple status. Here are some great images of last years’s day of the dead event at Tlaquepaque by Sedona Bride Photography.
The huge fountain in Tlaquepaque’s Patio del Norte is decorated for dia de los muertos with pumpkins, squash, cactus, persimmons and berries. Fun katrinas sit around the edge of the fountain with tons of candles and fruit.
Here is an overhead shot of the fountain. The backdrops were painted by Show Stopper’s own, Tracey Downes, and are inspired by the old sideshow banner art typically seen along the midways at State fairs and circuses.
Here is one of the ofrendas showing the alter decorated with katrina’s, fruit, cake, candy skulls, candles, flowers and a dia de los muertos backdrop.
Paper mache katrinas
This is a great image of a niche in Tlaquepaque’s Patio del Norte decorated with fresh flower ristras, candles, rose petals, katrinas and fruit. Don’t miss this very special and colorful event. Be sure to bring your own ofrenda, candles, flowers, photos etc. to honor those you love and contribute to the dia de los muertos display at Tlaquepaque on the evening of November 1 beginning at dusk.
