Bio
Tina and Kevin own Sierra Blanco Photo and Video and are award-winning photographers and film makers based in Arizona, with a specialized focus on Sedona and areas of Northern Arizona like Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon. They have documented over 1200 weddings since 2005, from exotic destination weddings as far away as Nigeria, Rome and the Caribbean to adventurous elopements in our National Park’s most stunning settings like Death Valley, Yosemite and Grand Teton. Throughout, they have been recognized by their peers, won numerous industry awards and been widely published but most important, they have enjoyed all of these incredible experiences together!
The Experience
We love what we do! Every wedding is unique to us and we work hard to bring our clients a personalized experience from beginning to end. Our style is fresh and innovative yet timeless. We shoot in a documentary style to tell the story of your wedding day, capturing all the love, laughter, tears and details that make it uniquely yours. Our goal is to present you with wedding images and films that bring your special day back to life again and again, throughout the years and down through the generations. It would be our pleasure to document and preserve your most precious memories. We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for visiting!
FUN FACTS ABOUT US
~ Why a quail for our logo? Because we have had two quails as pets. Our first quail was Dan “The Little Man”. He was a spitfire and we will always love and miss him. Currently, “Little Miss” Olive lives with us. She has her own room (formally Dan’s room) and spends her days running around our house and taking afternoon naps in our laps while we edit. She brings us joy every day!
~ We also have an Old English Sheepdog, a Miligold Macaw (huge parrot), a 200 pound tortoise, a turtle that lives in our Koi pond and several fish (including one that we have had since 2008) and frogs … basically a mini zoo.
~ We are also storm chasers! That’s right, we live the real life “Twisters” movie and we’re here to say the reality is nothing like the fantasy, ha, ha. Still, it is very exciting and we typically drive up to 10,000 miles in two to three weeks each spring, seeking out monstrous storms and tornadoes across the Great Plains.
~ We lead landscape/wildlife photography tours on our off seasons. Aside from the storm chasing, we take people to various National Parks across the west and every winter we travel to Alaska, north of the Artic Circle, to view the Aurora Borealis.
~ Every year we work on a personal side project filming a Great-Horned Owl nest near our home. Nestled in a saguaro cactus, the same owls have been using this nest for over 15 years. We film them for approximately a month as the baby owlets grow up. We started doing this project in 2020 during the Covid shutdown as a diversion to having no weddings. We always find it so rewarding to observe.
~ Kevin grew up in California and Tina grew up on the East Coast in North Carolina (no, the accent isn’t Texas, ha, ha). We have both called Arizona home for over 20 years and have lived in both the mountains and the desert.
~ We eloped at Secret Beach in Maui in 2008 (they call it getting “Mauied”). Everyone said we should get
married in Sedona, but we photography weddings there constantly so we wanted a location that was completely different. Hawaii seemed like the perfect choice for us!
WOW! All I can say is that Tina and Kevin made our wedding the most MEMORABLE day in history! They were GREAT TO WORK WITH, EASY AND FUN! We not only got AMAZING PICTURES, but have wonderful new friends. They captured more than pictures that day and we will always be THANKFUL. You won’t be sorry using these photographers! My husband is a photographer himself and COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE PLEASED with Sierra Blanco!
